FET

FET tomorrow at 3 p.m. Hopefully, something will survive the thaw, and we will have something to transfer. We have 4 on ice right now - hopefully, at least 2 or 3 will still be around tomorrow at 3.

I'm doing acupuncture before and after - part of me wants to skip it since they charge $250 for the "special FET acupuncture sessions". I personally think it's probably a rip off - just a way for them to make extra money off of desperate infertiles who read the research about how it can make a difference to do acupuncture right before and after a transfer. So, in order to have no regrets, to know that I've done everything within my power, I guess I'll go through with it.

So, tomorrow I'll get up early, go to spin class to get in one last workout before the 2ww, go to the doctor for bloodwork, go by the video store and stock up, head to the acupuncturist at 1:45 and on to the doctor at 3, then back to the acupuncturist, then home to rest. Wish me luck. This is it - it's now or never!

Go embies go! Thinking about you guys tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing how it went.

I think accupuncture really does help but I am pretty sure they are doing nothing special for $250! My regular treatments are $40. It would be interesting to hear what they do differently.

Good luck tomorrow, I will send a positive thought your way at 3!

Here's to a successful thaw and transfer!

Try to relax with the acupuncture and then totally take it easy!

Here's to sticky, growing embies!

$250? Ouch. It costs about $70 here.

I'll be thinking of you all tomorrow and hoping that all survive and grow.

Since this is the Hail Mary of FET and you're pulling out the all the stops, I'll do the same. I am going to send you a phase that have never uttered, but perhaps it will help: "I'm sending you sticky thoughts that your embies will snuggle in for the next nine months." Ugh. Terrible phrase, but the underlying sentiment is true. I am hoping that this cycle is the surprise one that works for you.

All the luck of the Irish, all the luck in the world, all the luck in the universe to you, Riley! From God's hand to your uterus. May the fertility goddess smile upon you and please, please, please let this work!!!! (I'm trying to cover all possible bases). I'll be thinking of you and sending you good wishes tomorrow.

It sounds like a great day! I believe in the acupuncture - if anything, use it as a chance to breathe deeply and let your body relax. I am sending you lots of positive energy and prayers for a very successful transfer and 2ww! THIS IS IT!!!!!!!!
Love,
Maddy

I'm wishing you all of the luck in the world. Relax, don't think about the money (although it seems annoying) and just try to feel peaceful. And spin class seems like a fabulous idea!!

Wishing you bunches and tons and galore of luck! And I'm glad you're doing the acupuncture - it really does seem to make a difference to some women's outcome, and yeah, doing everything you can? Always a good thing. Will be thinking of you til you post! (Well, and afterwards, too, most likely!)
