Bad News

Yesterday Robin and I got a call no IM (intended mother) or surro ever want to get.  We had a negative beta.  That means the transfer didn't take and I am not pregnant.  It is a terrible feeling and I cant imagine how Robin is feeling.  I tried my best to keep her spirits up because I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.  We knew when the Dr told us she only wanted to transfer 1 embie that we only had a 60% chance it would stick.  I know in my heart together we will get her the baby she has been waiting so long for.  We might be taking the long road but thats ok, its what is at the end that matters. 

We are going to get back in the game right away.  I stopped taking my meds yesterday and now just waiting for "aunt flow."  In a few days I will start over on all the meds I've been taking and we will receive our new calendar.  We are hoping for a late July transfer.  If all goes well, the baby will be due in April.  April is a good month.  I have lots of dear friends b-day in April, including my hubby.

Today is the Big Day...Transfer Day

What an amazing day!!

Robin flew in this morning and met us for lunch before heading over to the clinic for our trasfer.  I was so nervous that I couldn't even eat lunch.  I was not nervous about the procedure itself b/c I have done it before and its no biggie.  I was more nervous that it wouldn't take and I dont want Robin to go through that.  I know how much this means to her and only want success on the first try.  Fingers crossed! 

I got Robin a Noah's Arch snow globe with "May this be a Joyful Journey" engraved as a gift between she and I.

                                                 
 
Robin is a great support system, Love her! During the transfer, Robin was at my side the whole time and it was breathtaking to witness her seeing them put the "little embie" in.  After a few tears, high fives and whoo hoo we did it, she went out to the waiting room to get Donald and aunt Kristina (Robin's best friend) to come join us in the small celebration room.  Which was really just the exam room where I had to be for the next 15-20 mins or so.


Hi Kristina, nice to meet you.  Please excuse me laying upside down, half naked and complaining about wetting the bed.  First impressions, you gotta love them.

Overall, the transfer went great.  We transferred one perfect graded embie and now I am home to lay around for the rest of the week.  My hubby got me my favorite food on the way home from the clinic so I ate plenty of food as soon as I got my comfy fat girl pants on.  No worries Robin, I really do eat, I promise!  My hubby also got me lots of movies to watch while I lay around.  He is the best!
