How did you cope with the daily updates prior to your embryo transfer?
My beautiful hubby being so strong for me pre-embryo transfer.
I was so distraught and finding it so hard to be positive in this moment. I was terrified that we'd have nothing to transfer just like my experience with my own eggs.
But this time the stakes were higher.
We'd travelled so far.
Invested so much emotionally and financially and all of our hopes were riding on this donor egg IVF cycle.
I'd been researching for months in fertility forums and facebook groups where the ladies there were reporting 10-20 eggs collected pre embryo transfer and more.
I knew logically that it wasn't about quantity it was about quality of eggs.
I also knew that whatever that number of eggs are that's collected get's lower and lower as the days progress and embryos either begin to develop or do not develop at all.
Embryos become good quality or low grade.
All that we could do was wait each day for the text to come through from the clinic.
In the mean time ..... yes I did all the good things to distract shopped and ate cake!
