As an update, the embryo did not take. Turns out one of the other embryos that they thought wasn't going to make it did, after the fact, so we froze that one (which is male). We are going to implant the freezer-tot in August.<br /> I truly appreciate all the well-wishes and support, and wish you all the same in return. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-for-monday#post-227943 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 22:59:44 +0000 mrsjyw 227943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sticky sticky sticky, good luck on mon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-for-monday#post-227938 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 22:58:20 +0000 ChuckNorris 227938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@akire: Thinking of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-for-monday#post-227937 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 22:58:10 +0000 ChuckNorris 227937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What an emotional post, I hope everything went well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-for-monday#post-227084 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:15:00 +0000 chopsuey 227084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-for-monday#post-227058 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 17:48:58 +0000 MrsCastro 227058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@akire: just wanted to see if there was a follow up... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-for-monday#post-147927 Fri, 04 May 2012 10:00:34 +0000 Mrs.Someone 147927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@akire - I remembered your story yesterday and was wondering how its going?

I hope Monday gets here quickly for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-for-monday#post-112598 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:35:21 +0000 heffalump 112598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend didn't have many eggs either. She actually implanted two..... and is pregnant with triplets! Just thought a positive story might help. Wishing you a sticky baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waiting-for-monday#post-112591 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:32:00 +0000 akire 112591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well Ladies, </p> <p>It's been a week since we implanted an embryo into our surrogate. Turns out, of the 7 eggs that fertilized, only one, female, embryo was healthy enough to implant. On Monday our surrogate will take a blood test, and we'll know if our embryo becomes a fetus.</p> <p>I have to say, I'm kind of a wreck. Luckily, Friday I left for a work trip to distract me until today, but now I'm sitting her obsessing. I feel like a failure for not making better eggs, and given the reaction my body had to the process, I'm not sure that we'd do this again. I'm hoping and praying that she sticks, but I'm also trying to not invest too deeply in case she does not. I really wish I didn't know the gender at this point. This is the scariest roller coaster I've ever been on and I really hope it has a happy ending.</p> <p>How did you distract yourselves? And once you had a positive test, how did you balance hope with cautious optimism until the end of the first trimester?</p> <p>Thanks for reading. I know a lot of you are going through similar things (maybe not surrogacy, but IVF, etc). You're all in my thoughts as well. </p>
