You ladies are awesome!  I really needed those words of encouragement.  We had 2 frozen from our first cycle.  What gets frustrating is that the doctors tell you one thing and then an 'exception' pops up.  In this instance, I had asked in advance, what happens if the embryos don't thaw well.  He said that during the thaw, it's hard to tell what shape they're 'really' in, so they implant anyway...However, yesterday I was told that one was definitely not viable.  There's unfortunately a lot of that going on during this process.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that twins are in God's plan for you-I know just how you feel.  I was even more selfish and wanted the 'perfect' combo-a boy and a girl, so that we could be 'done.'  I've since realized that I have to be patient and let this whole IVF thing run its course.  It's the happy and healthy portion that counts...

Any news on your cycles, ladies?

This is it!!!!  3RD TIME IS A CHARM!!!!!
How many did they thaw to start with?  It's kinda of funny, because they only had 2 viable one's for me this past time, and told us 1 wasn't "looking so good" and they had both only divided once anyway.  I was kinda bummed cause I was kinda selfishly was looking for twins too! ha ha!  I'm older so what i get the first time is probably what we'll end with... be it 1 or 2.
Maybe the tears were because you know in your heart God is sending your little Angel to have you protect and be Mom and Dad to : )   Take it easy during you 2ww, and girl STICKY BABIES STICKY BABIES STICKY BABIES STICKY BABIES STICKY BABIES STICKY BABIES!!!!!

Thank you ladies!  I really appreciate it!

mhv, I am desperately hoping that 3rd time is the charm for both of us!

Transfer went ok.  Right before, the embryologist let us know that one embryo didn't thaw well and therefore was not viable, so that was disappointing.  Selfishly, I've always wanted twins, particularly because I don't want to have to go through this emotional roller coaster again in a couple of years (I've always wanted a large family.)  BUT on the bright side, at least they transferred one.  Of course, multiples are high risk, so it may be best in the end.

The odd thing was that I cried during the entire process.  Everyone in the room was so supportive, including hubby, but I can't believe that I did that!  I think that I was just so overwhelmed I broke...

Thanks for the words of encouragement!!!!  Right now, I need it.
We are considering starting again next week when I receive AF.... What are everyone's suggestions on that?  We used FET's last time and will be using them again this time.... so not retrieval or anything.....  I am pretty sure this one didn't "take" because the embryos weren't that great of qualilty.  They were "clean", but weren't dividing well.
