Transfer day

Or at least it should be. Instead I'm at home watching the Winter Olympics. Who comes up with some of these sports?! Throwing yourself, head first, down an ice tunnel with your face inches away from the ground, travelling at a billion miles an hour?! What's wrong with tennis, or swimming? The embryologist called this morning, but Martin answered the phone. 3 of our remaining embies made it to blast, which is great! All I know is that they're not top quality, but they are good to freeze, which I assume means they're good quality. Obviously, I'm a little devastated they're not top quality, but need to ask the embryologist more questions when I go in to the hospital tomorrow. I know grading is subjective but everything has been so up in the air the past week that nobody has ever sat us down and talked through it with us. She said perfect grade embryos have an 80% chance of surviving the thaw, and she thinks ours have a 70-80% chance. Not that that makes any more sense to me. So 4 top grade day 3 embies in the freezer, 3 good grade blasts joining them today and we have 3 slow-pokes who weren't doing so well at day 2, who were left to their own devices and will be checked tomorrow. They may have all arrested, but some may have caught up enough to freeze.

Since egg collection is gradually felt worse and worse everyday. Nausea started two evenings ago on and off, yesterday it was more apparent and today it's constant. I'm less bloated than I was but in more pain, laying on my side is difficult. My bloods show my hydration levels are normal, but yesterday my liver function tests jumped from 33 (top of normal) to 274! So they're worried about that one! Other than that I've hatched an evil plan to try and bring FER (frozen embryo replacement as my clinic call it) forward slightly. AF in March would be due around 20th, with our FER appointment on 26th, meaning we couldn't start treatment until end of April....so I figured if carry on taking my progesterone for just a little while longer, long enough to delay it so AF is due early April shaving a good 3-4 weeks off our wait. Very naughty, but I think we deserve to tweak the rules a little.
