Gobble Gobble

Happy Thanksgiving, U.S.!

May your pants be significantly tighter by the end of the day.

I have two embryos on board.  On Monday, they defrosted perfectly and went in smoooooth like.  You're going to think I'm nuts and I'm completely aware that I'm on a lot of medication that could be tricking me but literally since Monday night I have felt all kinds of weird pinches.  (Thinking optimistically that it's them... I'm sure La Bamba is a dancer, and obviously Heisenberg IS the one who knocks). I'll go into it more, later, just to be helpful to anyone getting a transfer (maybe) but for now let's worry about the turkey at hand.

I give you, La Bamba and Heisenberg:


I am thankful I get to play Mom for at least the next 6 days - I'm going to enjoy every PUPO moment.

I'm thankful for my husband who has had to put up with every hormone under the sun.

I'm thankful for my own kickass Mom.

I'm thankful for this community for existing because it is a lifesaver.

I'm thankful for my friends who have been unbelievably supportive.

I am thankful LB & H fertilized (albeit a day late), that they made it to freeze, and that they were put safely in my uterus.  Badasses, those two.

I'm thankful for my RE and his RN both of whom are amaaaazing.

I am thankful I get to have hope, I am thankful that my belief in the possibilities of miracles has been restored, I am thankful for every moment I get to think "maybe...."



Thankful for so much more, but I have to go get a shot in the butt.

Happy Thanksgiving - go eat your damn turkey!

    So glad the transfer went well. Just to add fuel to your fire, my last IUI (which resulted in my first ever BFP) I felt lits of twinges and super mild cramp like sensations. I tried to pass it off as just the 8 follicles bursting inside me. Then a 2 weeks later I felt so bloated and more crampy and again I tried to pass it off as AF rearing her ugly head. Turns out I was knocked up! So I'm hoping you are too!! Keep resting up and feed those babies! :)

    Happy Thanksgiving! I have to say looking at those two little kickasses and thinking about how much of a miracle they are already are and how much more of a miracle they could be brings tears to my eyes! Enjoy every little part of this!

    Love the embryo pictures. I hope the weird sensations are a sign of them getting cozy inside you. Yay for hope and miracles.

    Yeah for successful thaw and transfer! I felt the same type of pinching feelings after my successful transfer that resulted in the pregnancy that produced my (now 22-month-old) twin boys, so I am going to say they are a very good sign.

    Crossing all my crossables and looking forward to reading more good news from you very soon. :-)

    "Thankful for hope." Beautiful. We will all stay hopeful for you. The way everything has gone for with this, it just "feels right."

    Chanting loudly-- 44 is awesome, (double, double toil & trouble) ... hey, it is Heisenberg after all, so why not mix it up.. :-D. So happy for you, and hopefully that you'll get GREAT numbers on Wednesday. I'm sure that you're stalking betabase, right? Can't wait to hear more good news and stalking twitter.
