A couple of weeks ago, S and I went to the Brownless Medical Library at Melbourne Uni and spent all morning printing out recent articles from medical journals about embryo quality and transfer success rates. I went off to work that afternoon armed with about 25 of them. I was in luck and it was pretty quiet, so after much pink highlighting and excited star decorating, I presented S with my findings…
We are going to transfer two embryos on Monday. This is because we are near the bottom of the barrel. We have a couple with 5 cells and a couple with 2 cells. The 5 celled ones are ‘ok’. The 2 celled ones are most probably shite. So we’ll transfer a 5 and a 2. I just couldn’t bear afford to keep transferring one crappy embryo at a time, given that the best 3 didn’t stick.
We were scared that our Dr David would talk us out of it, but he thinks it’s a grand plan.
Our deck and lawn are looking finished. The grass is stripey but alive. The BBQ is rebuilt but yet to be tested.
it’s a pity that the deck etc is all finished and beautiful just as the weather has become too cold to allow us to enjoy it for more than about five minutes of shivering joy!

But just think of the amazing summery hot nights you’ll have on the deck with the kidlings playing peacably on the lawn…
Hey, did you two see the ABC news last night? Supposedly a study has proven that acupuncture improves your chance of IVF conception by something like 50%. Here’s the link. I’m sure you know about this already, butit might be worth a shot. Matty Sempert is pretty gifted…

I was just coming by to let you know the same thing as az about acupuncture. Sounds promising.
