The doctor said that I have two blastocysts and that the thaw rate is usually pretty high, he said that if they expand in the culture that that is a really positive sign so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed and will be taking many deep breaths between now and Wedneday morning!
it is good to talk to someone! I know that everyone here knows the range of emotions that comes with dealing with infertility! My best wishes for you.

For me too, stress seems like the name of the IF game. Ive been feeling so happy and optimistic about going forward with a FET that we moved our cycle month up from Aug to July. Right away I felt great and like it was the right decision for us, but now Im doubting. I don't know if its that Im not sure if Im ready, or if Im afraid to blow my remaining embryos, but I totally understand fluctuating emotions. I hear people saying that FETs are so much easier, and while its true they seem less complicated, the same things are still at stake.
Its very hard to think about it all and not start to feel a little weak in the knees!
Ive totally hit the ice cream isle in the past week, which I normally do not, and I attribute it to the stress.
And wow, next Wed is really soon. And I thought our transfer was just around the corner in early July! No wonder youre feeling nerves.
Good luck to you. I hope you get alot of rest, and pamper yourself in preparation. Feel free to vent on this thread. Im dying to be a cheerleader for people in the same battle as I am.
