Still 4

They forgot to phone me today. Of course, I went about my day ... calm ... not thinking about it ... barely even remembering I had important news today ... (yeah, right!!!). AB phoned three times until I eventually phoned and got hold of them at the clinic.

I'm waiting to hear from someone, I tried not to whine.
Oh, hasn't Scientist Sparkly called?
Not yet.
Wait on hold while I call them .....

The sound of trashy daytime radio on the other line was torture. My heart was in my throat as I waited for her to return.

...........................................

Finally ... well StellaNova, we've got some good news. We have 3 at 8 cells and one has already started compacting. She said they're looking very good.

Ohhh...

I did a quick backtrack to last cycle. That time, the best one only got to partially compacting - and that was Day 5! This has got to be better.

Thank you, I'll see you on Wednesday.

I know it sounds good. It is good. But my self preservation has deep roots and I am not allowing myself to get too hopeful before we even transfer. I am happy with the news. They are doing me proud. I so wish there was something I could do from here.

I said to AB tonight, maybe we might even have something to freeze this time.
Now that's getting a bit too far ahead.
All we want is one healthy one.

Just one healthy one.

Is that too much to ask?
