I think they are right I wouldn't worry too much about the 2 that were slow to expand, sometimes FET's are slower at developing. I know many, many women that have been successful with vitrified embies. <br /><br />I know it's hard to be hopeful and optimistic considering everything that you 2 have gone thru, but we are all cheering you on. Thinking lots of good thought for this one for you!<br />All my best!kshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621807092343577126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-76332885722147935272010-10-09T11:18:09.400-04:002010-10-09T11:18:09.400-04:00If I hoped any harder I'd sprain something.

And Mo!...Everything I own remains crossed for you.<br /><br />And Mo! I mean this in the kindest and lovingest way possible, but really? After all you and Will have traveled through on this journey, you are looking at blasts and whether they do or don't expand and trying to predict outcomes from that? Really? If there's one thing I've learned from my own travels and those of others it's that the amount of predictability in this process at the individual level is lower than the interest rate currently in place at the Fed. <br /><br />No, of course that's not what you are doing. You are worrying. And that, of course, is what we do. Here's hoping you can find some good distractions, because those are the only thing I know to recommend. I'll be thinking of (and checking on) you. Be gentle with yourself, and your precious embryos.Alexicographerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029216139568740202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-31781289989345061462010-10-08T22:37:51.160-04:002010-10-08T22:37:51.160-04:00Yuck on the unnecessary drama, but yay for the tra...Yuck on the unnecessary drama, but yay for the transfer! And in my totally non-scientific opinion, transferring a little early is a GOOD thing because embies fare better in their natural environment, your uterus, than anywhere else. I'm glad you get to lay low for a couple of days. And kudos to Will for being the kind of partner we should all have (mine is too).B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08006692086413417834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5160381109996491098.post-44420098699060212512010-10-08T22:32:53.131-04:002010-10-08T22:32:53.131-04:00I've got everything crossed for you guys!!!
