Finally my HCG level is down to 1. What a relief. My poor veins were shrinking the second I walked into the lab. I finally stopped bleeding yesterday too. Kind of symbolic.
I got a letter from the RE on Thursday with a summary of my IVF cycle and recommendations for the next cycle. The medication protocol will stay the same but she recommends we do a day 3 transfer regardless of how many embryos we have and how wonderful they look. I think this sounds reasonable. Maybe pushing for a day 5 transfer was too much for my old eggs. Maybe we would even have some left over for freezing for future use if needed. We are going to meet with her in person on 1/24.
Overall, I am feeling quite calm. I'm not sure if my nightly meditation music is helping or if I have just come to accept that most of what happens with IF is out of my control. I have vowed to not stress so much this time around. Plus, now I know what to expect during the ER and ET and I'm certain there will be less anxiety the next time around. I can only control what medications I take, when I take them and how I take them. The rest is up to God.
Now I plan to enjoy the next 2 weeks until we meet with the RE. Then I am sure we will be back in the saddle again with b/w and u/s's and tests. I'm anticipating another saline sonogram will be added to the list for mid February. And then we will take it from there. Now it's time to relax, play with the Wii we got for Christmas and start my year long organization project!
