Wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving begins my favorite time of the year, I love the time from turkey day to Christmas.

What I am thankful for
-my wondferful, selfless, amazing, funny DH
- my supercute furmonster
- my friends and family
- my IF message board
- insurance coverage
- my RE and his staff
- my 2 tiny turkeys that are snuggling in tight

So, how was my retrieval, it was ok. It took a few days to feel normal again. We got 11 eggs and 5 were mature and 5 fertilized. On day 3 they were all exactly where they needed to be. We had a 9 cell, 2 eight cells and 2 7 cells.

We did a 5dt of 2 expanded blasts, grade 1 and a grade 2. For so few eggs we were really happy with the outcome.

Here's a pic of our little turkeys



Now we wait and pray that these are sticky, full-term babies. I really hope this is it for us.

I'm trying to not compare everything I'm feeling to BFP cycle in April but it's hard not to look for similarities. I don't want the same outcome so I keep telling myself different is good.

Thanks for the emails, comments and support, we really appreciate it.

Nice embabies! Have a great holiday weekend.

Exciting! They look great -- so glad your 5 fertilized embryos turned into 2 fabulous blasts.

We're on very similar paths, it seems. I was pregnant in the spring from IVF #1, but found out at the 9 week ultrasound that the embryo had stopped growing. Now I'm super early in a pregnancy from IVF #3.

Sending good thoughts your way!
