Hello Angela!


My RE will transfer 2-4 embryos, most likely 3..I am going to ask for 4.


Dh and I are going to freeze the rest. If this doesnt work or we have one baby, we will do a Frozen Embryo Transfer with in a year. We have to save up money for the medications. The medication cost

Hi Stephanie


CONGRATULATONS!!!! What is your major? Do you have anything lined up after graduation? How exciting!!!!!!


You should be very proud of your accomplishment. I went back to college when I was 31 and took Mortuary Science...yes that wasnt a typo, I am a licensed Funeral Director. I only have an associates but we had to take 80 credits a semester. Three of those semesters were intense Anatomy, Pathology, Microbiology and Chemistry. I had to name all the bones in the body as well as their processes

Lisa,

I'm new to this board but I got caught up in your story while looking through other posts. It's so refreshing to see someone with such a positive attitude, especially when some of us who are going through a lot less don't always have the best ones. I really hope that you get your twins or triplets, but as you said, one would be wonderful too! I'll be thinking about you this weekend, and I can't wait for your next update!

P.S. I know bedrest is tough, but do your best. My sister was on bedrest once and when I went to the bathroom she slipped outside to wash the car...take as long as you need, we'll all be here when you get back.

Hello,


Thank you Katie!! I am a fanatic when it comes to testing. The down side is I had to give myself a trigger shot which is HCG so I would just get false positives.


I will let you know how it all turns out!

Thanks! I'm graduating with a degree in what your husband does. :) Graphic design major with a minor in print journalism (that was my major before I left school.) I'm planning to do some freelance work. I'm getting ready to start on a website project. Let's hope it goes well!
