So on Friday at 17 wks and 2days we had an appt where the dr. was actually able to find all 3 lines and tell us "It's a Girl". Now she knows we did PGD but she knows that we really wanted confirmation. She wrote "I am a girl" on...

We sold our last home almost three years ago, and since then have been living in a nice, very affordable apartment in our favorite neighborhood which is close to downtown and my work. We had been toying with the idea of buying a home in this area for...

Arg! I was not really expecting this. First off, I just told my own family we are expecting. I was waiting until after we had "found out" the gender by u/s. Everyone is happy. But a few people have come out and asked if these babies were conceived...

So far, I've looked at how 1 BD time, 3 BD times, and 4+ BD times sway, so I figured it was time to look at how 2 BD times sway as well. :) There were 72 boy charts and 65 girl charts, resulting in a preference for boys of 52.6%. This is the breakdown...

Negative beta result. Sad and disappointing, I finally cried today. But its also releasing to know that this is over - we can move on now. We're going to go natural for a while - I want a baby more than I want my girl. And if we dont get her this...

Okay, so it's good news all round today. As a recap, I've never had an OB before, or visited a hospital for prenatal appointments. So this was all uncharted territory! lol First off, our new OB was punctual for our appointment (wow!). And she...

5.5dp5dt, more BFN. I am starting to accept that I'm not pregnant but it will take me a few more days to get over it. I will then start talking to DH about what to do next - for now I just dont want to think or talk about it..

Peed 3 times today, tested every time. BFN. Not a hint of a line. I might be being irrational but on some level I really believed I would get a BFP today.. Starting to really think I'm not pg after all..

Ok, the trigger is finally out of my system - on the 10th day after having the ovidrel. I had my last faint positive hpt at 4am and since then I've had 2 good negatives.. This means if I start to get positives in the next few days I can feel fairly...

Well bed rest so far hasnt been too bad, we're on holidays in a hotel room so everything is close by anyway.. I've had some encouraging signs - some light cramping and lower back pain last night, and my uterus feels "sensitive" when...

Out of our 4 embies, 2 made it to day five, both were girls (thank you Microsort!) Our third girl stopped growing at 7 cells, and the 4th was abnormal (no second sex chromosone was there, only one x) It feels so wonderful to know there are two little...

I cant let myself believe that I will necessarily be having an embryo transfered to me tomorrow. I want to believe it but I need to protect myself and remember that nothing in the process is certain. We will get a call in the morning with the PGD results...

Well, not sure it went well. DH was called first and was in and out straight away. No problems. I was next and started getting that 'icky' needle/blood faint feeling (I have a history of needle phobia and fainting after blood draws). It was all...

The report is in. All four embies made it through to Day 3!! We have 2 x 8 cell embies, and 2 x 5 cell embies, all suitable for PGD biopsy. So after many questions and discussions with our dr, we have been assured that the PGD itself does not harm the...

I am too nervous to sleep, to think, to relax. I am so scared that all our embies have died.. I am so desperate to put a baby in my belly and I'm scared there will be nothing tomorrow.. I hate not knowing how they are doing.
