Update

Well I haven't been on here for a long time and am slacking, so I'll do the abbreviated catch up.

Hubby and I started IVF cycle #3. We are pulling out all the stops on this one. WIth the 1st ending in a Chemical pregnancy and the 2nd just being negative we are hoping 3rd time is a charm. Everything went smoothly this cycle. The meds weren't that bad, Dr. A took out 21 eggs at the retrieval. 13 were mature, all 13 fertilized and then it was watch and wait. We did a 3 day transfer of 3 embryos with Assisted Hatching. We had 2 great looking 8 celled and 1 great looking 9 celled. (This is not much different from the other two times with quality). The transfer happened without a hitch. Very easy, unlike the last time where they stuck to the tube and they had to try again. I was much more uncomfortable that time as well, then I laid there and waited for the nurse to come in and get me.

I didn't have to use the bathroom after this one and laid back on the way home. It probably sounds really silly, but I figured why not. I have 3 days left to wait until the office does my Beta (pregnancy test). It feels like eternity. Friday at 11am is the big day! I have had some cramping on and off and that is about it. I feel like I should have some other symptom. I guess other than that and feeling a little tired from time to time I really don't. They say cramps are normal or even good, but the only thing they have meant for me is bad news. It is hard to get excited over that. 30 minutes ago I had them, now their gone. It is a strange, strange thing.

I hope to post the picture of our 3 embies. The good news is that we did get 1 frozen blast out of this cycle. Hopefully, we won't need that one for quite awhile.
