Results are IN!! I got my call!!

As I was leaving work yesterday, as always, I made sure my phone was within my reach while driving. I usually put my handsfree in and be prepared but I didn't. I'm not sure but I must have had a feeling the results were coming because a few minutes before I was thinking I should stay to the side just in case they call so I can pull into a parking lot or something. The phone rang and low and behold, CCRM! I thought to myself, ok, here it is. I took a deep breathe and answered. Of course, nowhere to pull over to. It was a nurse so I'm thinking that's a good sign. I think Dr. Schoolcraft would call with bad news. He's very good like that. She says, how are you? I didn't even catch her name I was so nervous. I said I'm good but I'm not so sure how I'll be in the next 5 minutes. She said no, no, you're fine. I have good news. Of the 9 embryos, 5 of them were normal, 1 came back no result and 3 were abnormal. So, there you have it! I have FIVE embryos waiting to be transferred. Of course, the best 2 will be transferred and the rest will be left on ice in case this doesn't work or for future children.

She went on to ask when I expected my period. I told her for once, I don't know. I didn't chart, temp, NOTHING! She laughed. She said well when do you estimate it so I can put you on the calendar. I told her 10-12 days which I'm not even really sure of. I think my cycle is really screwed up still. Then, I thanked her and she told me Schoolcraft would call within the next week, her hope was today. She told me that she was my new assigned nurse too. My old one left which I knew but I wasn't sure who had been reassigned to me.

After the call, I didn't know whether to cry, scream or what. I was really overwhelmed with emotion. I was headed to my parent's house after which wasn't very good timing. While they know, my dad is a dad, this stuff is too much information for him. But, I really didn't give a crap and told my mother infront of him anyways. He needs to get over it and deal. I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of what I'm doing.

So, I don't have any dates, I know that everyone will be asking but I really won't know until I get my period. I will have to start the pill and do lupron for one cycle just like I did with the fresh cycle. Then, once my period arrives after the bcp/lupron, I will start. When I have that information, I will be sure to share. Dr. Schoolcraft will call me in the next week or so to answer any questions I have.

This is where I need help. I have started my list of questions but I'm hoping everyone can give me their input. Here's what I have-

1- of the embryos that were abnormal, what was wrong with them? Does this show an indicator of another issue of why it may not have worked in the past?
2- What can I do before the transfer to help? acupuncture? anything at all?
3- Since I have Endo, how much does this play into my success? what do you think my chances of success are?
4- When I did my last FET, my lining got to be over 17 4 days before the transfer, what can we do to keep an eye on this and prevent it from happening? more ultrasounds sooner?

So, that's what I have. If anyone can think of anything else, I would appreciate it. Finally, because this is probably the longest blog entry ever!, I want to thank everyone for all their thoughts, care, interest and support. I have met some really amazing people along this journey and there are some who have now become friends I've never met, although, we will one day!
