This new lab is pretty cool. Before the transfer we got to see the embryos in the dish on the monitor. I got in a bit of trouble during the procedure when I started laughing. Apparently they want no abdominal pressure after they have transferred the eggs and before they remove the catheter.
The 3rd embryo is CM2. We will find out tomorrow afternoon if it is suitable for freezing. I checked my post from the last transfer and these are much better embryos than I had in January. My bloodwork wasn't ready when we were done so we came home. The nurse called early this aft and my E2 levels are still 4483 and my progesterone is still good, so no estrace or intramuscular injections for me!
Now I'm resting for a couple of days, then it's the dreaded 2 week wait.
Oh - one other bit of news, apparently I have a dermoid cyst on my right ovary. That is just freaky. They first noticed it in 2003 and it hasn't changed size since then, so there is no reason for immediate treatment, but I need to get an ultrasound every year to monitor it (hasn't been a problem so far, but if I get pregnant this time I won't be getting so many U/S's.
ETA - there Stella I finally updated *g*
Sorry to hear about the dermoid cyst. It won't affect the pregnancy will it? It won't cause any pain during your pregnancy period either I hope.
Yeah-something tells me you ain't gonna get that sweet ass motorcycle. = )
I'm almost following your advice - I'm surfing the web waiting for hubby to get home to feed me *g*
What? you can't see me 8-9 months pregnant zipping around on the bike? (I probably couldn't reach the handlebars!)
I sure hope the cyst won't act up. It hasn't changed yet, so I have to cross my fingers.
I have heard of those dermoid cysts. Someone my friend works with had to have one removed.
And how about Patrice FINALLY went home!!
So far the cyst isn't causing any pain so I'm going to leave that puppy alone for now. 4 abdominal surgeries so far = frankenbelly.
I am glad she's finally gone, she really didn't have the spark and reminded me of a psychotic pixie. I was disappointed with the way they portrayed Dilana this week, I'm wondering if she'll be next in the bottom 3.
I will be waiting with baited breath and crossed extremities to hear the results. (((HUGS)))
Heh...I hear that stuff can make people swell up alot. ;D
Thank you!

Re: Thank you!
I admire what you do-I can't imagine how tough IVF treatments must be.
Also, you ride a Suzuki? How cool! How long have you been riding?
My friend has a Honda VFR - he loves to ride. I'd love to learn - I've only done 4 wheeling and snowmobiling, but it seems like nothing beats a bike!
I currently ride a Honda CBR900RR. It's hubby's, my 600F got trashed by a co-worker last year (he broke it, he bought it, but I'm still mourning). I started riding dirt bikes when I was around 13 or 14. I got my street license when I was 21. Biking is a huge rush if you aren't surrounded by idiot drivers, that's where off-road, 4-wheel or ski-doos have their attraction for me.
Sending all the prayers, chants, meditations, etc...I can spare for you guys!
Was the 3rd embryo freeze worthy? When will your test be?
