Even though we are hopeful that our embryos will survive the thawing process - there is a chance that none of our 6 embryos survive the thawing process. A scary thought that I don't really think will happen, but I think it is a definite risk that we have to unfortunately keep in mind. Between now and the transfer - having our embryos survive the thawing process on Friday morning is the next very crucial hurdle in this FET cycle.
We are definitely excited for a 2nd chance at a transfer that will hopefully result in a pregnancy. Overall, I would say that we are feeling very positive and hopeful. Even if we tried to be cautiously optimistic - I don't know that we could do it. And I'm okay with that - I'd rather be on the positive side of thinking, rather than the negative side. I have a feeling that no matter what happens - we will be shocked with either outcome. Happily shocked if it really does result in a pregnancy and disappointingly shocked if it doesn't work again. Either way, I will be prepared to be shocked!
In closing, I'd like to shout out a Happy 3rd Birthday to Rowan & a Happy 5th birthday to Nathan!!
