PUPO with Triplets

That stands for "Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise"!

So that's where we are. On Friday SIRM thawed our totcicles. 2 didn't survive the thaw so they had to thaw the second vial of 2. We were left with 3 good embyo's! Hubby and I joked after our failed IVF cycle that the 2 little ones that struggled a little behind the others to be frozen would be our fighters, and ultimately our children... Now I wonder! Twins anyone?

So now it's my job to stay sane during this horrible horrible wait! It is honestly pure torture. TORTURE I tell you! I am not good at surprises to begin with! Our first blood test is Monday 3/2/09. But they don't tell you the results of that day. No - they make you go in again on Wed for a second test. They want to make sure the numbers have risen accordingly before they tell you! I am sure I will have to do a home test before that - I can't wait that long!

I'll post again if there is anything exciting to say!

Tomorrow is the big day

I can't believe tomorrow is the big day. I feel like it was only yesterday that I had the phone consult with the new doctor. We are so excited and optimistic. Our protocol has been completely different from the past transfers we have done. Last week I did whats called an Intralipid Infusion. Sometimes women (especially those with Endometriosis) have elevated natural killer cells. These see anything new in the body as an intruder and try to fight them off - just like an embryo. By doing the infusion it helps the body rid itself of these killer cells by carrying them out of the body. Hopefully, this will help.

I have also been on steroids as well as Cipro to get my body ready. And our new doctor uses a different type of progesterone supplementation - unfortunately they are nightly injections which aren't much fun - but we are willing to do anything to make this work.

I will post tomorrow when we know exactly how many we transfer. We are planning on 3 but it may end up being more depending on how they look after they thaw them

Say an extra prayer for us tonight! XOXOX

Awww....how cute

We picked up our 5 little ones this morning to transport to our new doctor. This is the container they have to be carried around in. I can only imagine what people think! Look at this thing!

It is such a surreal feeling to know that inside that container there are 5 babies. Truly incredible.
