Hope everyone had a great weekend.
Lyly- I am so excited for you, the day has finally come. Let us know how it goes and if the give you a date.
Lisa- I love Jon and Kate plus 8. They both have so much patience but are so real. I love the fact that they do not pretend that everything is perfect like that crazy family with 16 kids.
JUlie- Funny you should say you do not speak with your sister. I have the same problem, but the difference is I refuse to be in the same room or for that matter within 100 feet of her. She is completely nuts. Families!!!! You are almost under that 100 day mark, must be exciting.
I went to Babies R Us Saturday and bought some stuff, now I am feeling like maybe I should have waited a bit more. Who knows???
Rhonda and Reshema how are you ladies doing? Hope Marina is enjoying her getaway.

Lyly -
Good luck and prayers for your appointment that you wont need any followup testing! Get down to the nitty gritty!
Yay on you ladies passing the first trimester! I am going in for my first u/s to see how many little boogars are slumbering in my belly!
Cant wait to know! That will help me relax some what (maybe) 
Well, I will most definitely log in Wednesday PM.
Have a great week ladies, I am still hanging around, reading all the posts, just dont have much to say.

Debbie- I go at 5pm. Just have to get through the day at work. I'll log on tonight to let you know how it went. I got all my paperwork from my old guy and was disappointed when I saw the quality of my last three embies. I am not so sure about this FET now after all this waiting. I am starting to feel like something is trying to tell me no more babies!

Awe, Lyly-
Dont get discouraged! they were obviously good enough to freeze. They made it to blast, so thats a huge hurdle for an embryo!
Keep encouraged! Stay positive, just make them put all three in, then, if they are bad quality, tell them you would like all three, to optimize the chances of implantation!
I am rooting for you! I will let you know Wednesday if I am having one two or all three...

JasjulesMom - I can't stand my sister and was only in the same room with her because it was Mother's Day and it was my mom's request. I didn't want to hurt my mom. But, it was so awkward because I have such contempt for her.
Good luck Lyly!!! Your time has come.
CONGRADS to everyone who made it to 12 weeks - you are almost approaching your second trimester.
Good luck Jenfrancis at your u/s - can't wait to hear how many babies you have. A girl in my other chat just found out she is having triplets.

Jen- My embies are not blasts. They are only day 3. One of them is only a 5 cell and grade 2 (grade 1 is best), the other is 8 cell grade 2 (uneven) and the other is a 7 cell grade 2. They don't grow blasts at my lab! The 5 cell is the one that concerns me. I have heard that they should at least be 6 or 7 cell on day 3. We had one other that arrested at the 2 cell stage that they didn't freeze so I worry that the 5 cell one will eventually arrest too.

Julie -
What other chat are you a part of? This is my only one. Not sure I would have time to devote to two. I sort of remember the ladies here.
But I am curious...
Yikes triplets...Well, we knew going in that it was possible, so we will see two more days!!! It has really been a long two weeks to wait for this appointment.

Why dont they wait till they hit blast before freezing. Hmmm, we did a day 3 transfer and had 12 embryos that they left to grow, of the 12 only 3 made it to blast, so I am confident that if any thing goes wrong we have a good chance with those last three.
Hmm, well, I have heard the same thing but you never know, sometimes they just blossum in the womb! I can understand you being realistic, just dont panic and get depressed. Today is a great day and you deserve some good news.
I think its maybe best you left that clinic. Seems like maybe they just dont have the capabilities a good lab would have. Good luck and lots of positive baby dust and hugs coming your way.

Funny thing about me leaving my RE is that he was using the lab that I am going to. He didn't have his own lab just private practice with rights to use this guys lab. So the lab capabilities may not be any different except for the fact that this is a brand new lab. They don't grow blast at my lab because they say that so many otherwise capable embryos don't survive the conditions in a lab and they feel they should develop in an enviroment that isn't artificial.

That makes sense though. That is why they told me that my day five transfer did not succeed. So this cycle we did the day three transfer and it worked. However, the embryos that were leftover, were left to grow to blast, those are the only ones they freeze.
Well, the embryos that they froze for you, may be fine. After all you only need one of the three. I would just ask to have all three transferred.
I dont know why that would be negotiable, when you are paying them! Its funny when I read that most clinics will only transfer two embryos, why is that their choice, when I am healthy and I am financially prepared for triplets, that ought to be MY choice. I pay the dr!
Lets just see, I intend on sticking around this board for a while, so I will be praying for you, I call you Lee Lee when I talk to God!

We are the same age, and same east coast! So I am rooting for you!
You have other children? I read you said it may be God telling you no more babies? I have a 14 yr old daughter, got pregnant at age 18, easily, not sure what is happening now...
