A quickie update on how things are going:
Three:
They implanted three embryos -- I affectionately refer to them as "sea monkeys" -- yesterday. The full story on this later, but let me briefly mention that I DID have a bladder problem yesterday in an amusing yet painful sort of way.
In the meantime you can read about what Mark's been through.
Six:
Out of the 15 embryos, six had made it to blastocyst stage by Saturday. They picked the best three to implant and are waiting to see how the remaining three develop. If all goes well with them we will be able to freeze them for use in the future.
Ten:
I go in for a pregnancy blood test in ten days, not fourteen. Tuesday the 24th is D-day. I'm relieved because that means I won't be sweating about the results the day before our anniversary.
I'll know whether everything took by 4 PM that day.
Fifteen:
I'm up to cable #15 out of 20 on the first half of the cabled pocket shawl. I expect to finish the first half of the shawl and start the second part today. I've been a knitting fiend on this and hope to have it blocking by next Saturday.
I'm going to lie down and knit now. Thanks for the good wishes everyone. I have my fingers, toes and other extremities crossed.
Grow, little sea monkeys, grow!
