Hello ladies,
Thank goodness I found you all. Wanted to congratulate Babysteps on BFP! I am also using ED and am currently doing 2ww. The entire process is so difficult but my husband and I followed our RE's advice and went ahead with ED to increase our chances. So expensive and we have put everything we have into this..I was really sad/disappointed when I found at they retrieved only 5 eggs. Although they all fertilized only two made it to embryos (5 and 6 cells), which we did the ET on Jan 9th. I had expected embryos to freeze in case this doesn't work, or for a future sibling, possibly. I know it only takes one but all of this is riding on this one shot. That's what scares me.
