YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The appointment went well today and my RE was able to do the ultrasound. He said everything looked perfect and asked what we had decided to do concerning transferring one or two embryos. I asked him what he and my cardiologist had decided and he said he needed to look back at his notes. After the ultrasound he called me over to the computer and showed me what was discussed with the cardiologist. He and the cardiologist were in agreement that after reviewing everything and knowing the risks, they felt it would be fine to put back two. In addition, my OBGYN and a genetic Dr. confirmed the decision. Only the high risk OBGYN who lost his patient with the same condition, was against putting back two.

Standing there reading the computer screen and listening to my Dr., I couldn't help but smile. At that moment I felt like I could fly home. The counseling and this piece of good news made me feel like a burden has been lifted. I couldn't wait to get back to the car and call Kyle to tell him. Hope has been restored!

Of course there are still risks, but I'm ok with that. They will thaw one embryo at a time, with the possibility that one or both might not survive the thaw. We have five embryos currently, so not all is lost if that were to happen. Obviously the whole procedure could fail and we would be left with only three embryos, as opposed to four. If I were to get pregnant at all, I will be considered high risk due to my heart condition. If transferring two results in a twin pregnancy my risks would be double. But so very worth it - in my opinion.

My next appointment is Monday and I only have to have a blood draw and find out my arrival time for Wednesday. I started the Estrace pill last night and will be starting the five prometrium suppositories tomorrow. We are very excited and really anxious for next week. Crossing our fingers now...

Infertility and humor cross paths for a moment...
