California success

Sorry I've been MIA lately but I went to California before my transfer to visit a friend who  actually came with me for the transfer because hubby couldn't make it this time.  The transfer went great, we transferred two 5 day embryos, one 8 cell expanding and one 9 cell expanded, they did assisted hatching on the 8 cell. I flew home the same day and threw myself into work hoping to avoid obsessing about what was or wasn't going on in here.  By Saturday I broke down and got a positive.  I had betas Monday and today (Wednesday).  The first one (8dp5dt) came back at 173 (wow!) and the second one (10dp5dt) is 431 (super wow!).   This gives me a 36 hour doubling time which is great.
In a couple weeks I get an ultrasound and we find out how many babies are in there.
The theme of this pregnancy is cautious optimism.

And we wait

After a fun vacation in San Francisco with a friend I finally had my embryo transfer.  Last Sunday we transferred two grade 2 embryos, one 8-cell expanding blast that the embryologist did assisted hatching one and one 9-cell expanded blast.  Hubby couldn't be there which was a little sad but I have a great group of friends and the one who lives in the area came with me.  Today is 3 days past transfer, I'm trying to make it to Saturday before testing which is 6dpt, we'll see, I'm already starting to cave....  We've had so much failure and loss it's hard to believe its ever going to turn out differently.  I belong to an online group of women all using this clinic and our group is full of stories of fertility failure but once they find this clinic their dreams come true.  I'm hoping and praying this is our turn.
