And thank God, I only have to do one more pessary rectally, tomorrow nights I can do vaginally, thats cause for celebration in itself!
Talking of the pessaries, I left one out on my bedside table ready for last nights, went into the front room to grab something quickly, came back and it was gone, nowhere to be seen. I hunted high and low for my little wax bullet and guess what? Sophie had eaten it and left just the wrapper in my bed under my pillow!! How on earth she managed to unwrap the thing and eat it is beyond me, but nothing that dog does surprises me anymore!!
The BIG conversation came up tonight. I know NHS guidelines dictate that only 1 embryo can be put back, but the final decision is up to the clinic. We read through the paperwork tonight and it does say that we still need to have made this decision, well between us, we can't decide, there is so many factors to take into consideration, in a way, I kind of hope that decision is taken out of our hands tomorrow. I'm swayed 85% that I would like 2, but the reality of a multiple pregancy for me is very high risk, so I have that bit of doubt.
Instead of me sitting here writing out the facts and statistics, I have added the fact sheet we got from the clinic, I hope it legible and makes more sense than I would!!
Definitely lots to consider. Everyone has different points of views and I've also thought about this for my IVF.
ReplyDeleteMy POV is that a mother's health is important and while 2 embryos sounds more guaranteed for implantation, their health isn't guaranteed and neither is the mother's.
However, a lot depends on the money (always does, doesn't it?). How much does an FET cost? Ours costs 1/5 of an IVF and so it makes it easier to just say one embryo but, when it costs almost as much as IVF, 2 embryos sounds a lot better.
Good luck with the decision. :)
Bahaha, Sophie ceases to amaze me!! I can see it now on Dogshaming.."I snuck one of mum's rectal suppositories. It was tasty. Therefore I am not sorry. Love, Sophie"
ReplyDeleteWhat does Bongo think? If you have two, a better chance for one of them taking..if not both. As badly as I want a child, I would say one. I couldn't deal with the anxiety of a high risk multiple pregnancy. There would be cause of concern over the babies's health, development, and of your own health.
I'm sure you guys and the clinic will come to the right decision. So pleased that you're almost done with this!!! Is the anxiety letting up any?
