I got the call I was anxiously waiting for. We now have one baby on ice. While I I am relieved at knowing we have one, we are still mourning the loss of the other two embryos. I was so overjoyed at hearing the news, I forgot to ask the grade/quality. I tried calling back and left a msg for the nurse (who is notorious for not calling me back) asking to know the grading because Dr. B had requested it. DH and I have decided that we will try transferring the one embryo to me and not use my sister as a surrogate this time around. I will be trying a completely new-to-me immune protocol so we wanted to see if that will work before moving on.
I've emailed Dr. B to get an updated protocol and I hope I hear from him before the weekend. I have no idea about the timeline for this FET. Will I have to be on BCP's again? Only Lurpon? These are things I'd love to find out. I'm now waiting on my period so I can go in for a baseline u/s and bloodwork.

Acupuncture...sigh...I'm not a fan. I know there are plenty of you out there that find it enjoyable and relaxing. I am not one of those people. The last time I did acupuncture, we lived in GA and I got the call that our embryo didn't survive the thawing process as I was lying on the table with needles sticking out all over me. It's not a good memory. I was dragging my feet getting in for an appt here but I decided today was the day. I had gotten a couple recommendations from my RE clinic and walked into one to find out prices and scheduling. Guess what? They could do my first session right then and there! Lovely. How nice. (I'm dripping with sarcasm.) Not only did I get a session of acupuncture, I also had the pleasure of doing Moxibustion which is burning herbs above the skin to apply heat to the acupuncture points. I now smell like a stink bomb. I will be doing this twice a week for three weeks, then once a week until we figure out the transfer date. Yippy skippy. How anyone can relax during all that is beyond me...I tried, I really did.
