Today we transition to medications to prep for a frozen embryo transfer. I received multiple messages today from the clinic with my tentative transfer date and medication schedule. I was instantly overwhelmed and teared up at work. It’s not nervous or anxious or excited just overwhelmed. I wasn’t prepared to see how much medication I need to take between today, the potential transfer and after. This doesn’t account for vitamins, supplements or a prenatal.

I was also emotional as the date was sooner than I anticipated based off the information provided by the clinic. For example, the clinic noted 7-9 weeks from the start of your period initially after the egg retrieval. Mentally I was preparing for the later, of 9 weeks.

Of course this is all subject to change depending on the outcome of my SIS and/or what PGT-A results reveal. I’d like to believe the SIS results will be unremarkable and we will be able to proceed as planned. I’m holding onto hope that we have at least one genetically healthy embryo.

In other news, the insurance claim from B’s TESE procedure processed and it was approved! Now to figure out how to get reimbursed as we had to pay the self pay rate up front to that provider.

I’m trying not to get too ahead of myself until we have the results to plan. Back to waiting.
