I got the call at 11am. "Just ringing to let you know your embryo has survived thawing, so we'll see you for transfer later today." *End of call* That was it. Rather unceremonious. I hung up and took Toby in to his gym ...
I'm getting knocked up on Thursday at 3pm. My womb lining was looking good on Thursday last week, so transfer is go! I've stopped the daily injections now, and replaced them with a twice daily pessary, which is delightful. These are progesterone, ...
