Number One on the List

I just got the call from our clinic that we're now number one on their list of couples waiting to be matched for embryo adoption. We have an appointment to go in next Thursday afternoon to look at two profiles to decide which couple's embryos we want to move forward with - it's kindof crazy when you think about it. I'm excited but also scared to let myself get excited again. I've gotten my hopes up too many times before just to have them crushed, so I'm hesitant to go down that road again. I'm also worried about the two profiles - I have no idea what sort of information they will contain, but I hope that at least one of them will feel right for us. Since Christmas is coming very soon and then we have our big sailing trip planned for mid-January, the plan is to wait to do the transfer until after we get back. But I am glad that we'll get to go ahead and make the decision about the embryos now.

Exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. Wishing you the best.

Riley, I'm so happy for you. I know, I know, I totally understand your apprehensions and fears about too much joy. But I can still be excited for you :)

Be good to have this out of the way before Christmas and enjoy the season and the sailing trip. And definitely LIVE in those moments, trying to put a future transfer out of your mind so you can bask in the exciting non-pregnancy related things coming up.

Then when you're back you can focus on the FET. Fingers crossed!

Wow, that's wonderful news! I can only imagine how nerve-racking it must be. Hope sometimes seems such a dangerous thing....

Here's for all the good things that hope can bring :) !
