I got a call from the Lab on my way to work this morning with the great news that all three of my eggs had fertilised overnight.  I must have pretty good eggs for my age!

 

We discussed how many embryos I wanted transferred and I told her that I was still pretty set on having all three transferred.  There are pros and cons with multiple births:

 

Pros	Cons
Save the cost of extra IVF	Medical health of mum and bubs
Siblings for the children	No hand me downs so double the cost
One maternity leave – less job interruptions	Double the work when I’m alone
Getting older, so harder to conceive again
Double the hugs and kisses
Know no different

 

But I’m still not sure how I would cope with triplets!  Let’s hope it doesn’t get to that, twins will be hard enough.

 

Once that was decided, the embryologist told me that we could make the transfer tomorrow instead of Saturday.  Well that freaked me out a little bit, even though I had already arranged to have Friday off work.  I asked her what was best for the baby(s) and she said that the only reason they generally waited the extra day was to select the strongest embryo’s and given that we weren’t choosing, there was no reason to wait if I was available.  Basically, she said they would be better off where they belong to do their thing.

 

So… tomorrow is the big day, and there is still the 2 week wait to see if I become pregnant…again.  Oh my… what am I doing?
