The one that survived

I'm amazed but remain optimistic until Aug 9 after my first beta test.

But after I was told on Monday that all 21 eggs were not successful that my eggs dehydrated and started to shrink after ICSI was performed. I was told that there would be a 1% chance that maybe two embryos might be doing something.

Tuesday, another phone call the embryologist said that she saw signs of process that the cells had split, and that she would check on Wednesday afternoon and advised that is the cells continued to multiple, I would be having a late transfer or on schedule for Day 5 transfer on Thursday.

I had a visit with Dr. Lowell Ku Tuesday morning, he was only talking about getting ready for the next IVF cycle, and that it would be comped because of the rare phenomena of the eggs shrinking. He was saying the next time would happen. If the same thing happens again, they would consider donor eggs. I looked at him puzzled and asked well what happened with the two embryos that may have a chance? I was surprised, he didn't know that there was at least two surviving. He said he had asked the embryologist in the morning and she told him three was nothing.. I told him she was going to call Wednesday with an update if the embryo was to continue to multiple. He was shocked and happy to hear the news and the waiting game began.

Wednesday afternoon I got a call from the embryologist called and said I had 3 embryos that looked liked decent but at least one of them was going to be transferred and was looking like it should for day 4, she said she would call in the morning to confirm if the transfer would happen for Thursday.

Thursday I got the greatest news of my life, my baby was ready for transfer.

11:00 came along and I started to drink LOTS of water, I think I over did it cause I was allowed to pee at least 3 and half cups only..  I was so much in pain for over drinking water. Dr. Ku was running late but I got to see the first picture of my baby.

I was told from grade A being the best for Grade F being the worst, my baby was a grade C. But I'm Very okay with that, I couldn't be happier, my child already shows signs of stubbornness and strength.. A baby that wouldn't give up!

The transfer happened, not painful at all, my mom was there to hold my hand, she was able to see the baby go in and get pushed into place..

I'm still not on progesterone oil injections until my OHSS subsides, which is getting there slowly at a time.. I'll be calling Monday to check to see if its okay to start my injections.

I'm on best rest Friday and Saturday to ensure the baby implants.. I pray that my miracle baby is a sticky baby..

I'm eating my pineapple core and keeping socks on my feet. Eating warm foods and room temp water.. Trying to follow some guilds and suggestions from others for best chances..

Keeping positive..
