Thanks for checking in on me. You'll be glad to know that as of 1310 this afternoon, I have three embryos on board - two good looking four cells and one dodgy two cell. The two good ones are from IVF#3, and the one dodgy one from IVF#2. The plan had been to use the three we had from IVF#2, since we got pregnant on that cycle, but one of them croaked on thawing, and the third one wasn't good enough to thaw, in the embryologist's opinion.
The drama has mostly dissipated - I wrote a letter to the doctor formerly known as Dr Condescending (TDFKADC) which she responded to with a lovely, kind email, so I feel a bit less terrified that they will fire us at any moment. For now, though, I just want this cycle to work, these embryos to decide to stick around - for the long term this time.
Thanks for your comment on my blog and your advice. I am so glad that your frosties are strong and will be praying for you for this FET. I also responded to your comment on my blog. Sending best wishes

Good for you and your three embryos. May they stick.
And I'm glad you feel some resolution with the clinic stuff.

You already know how I feel. I just wanted to wish you luck in every way that I can, as promised.

Still pulling for you Thalia. Let's put a little romance in the tragicomedy, shall we?

Good luck with your embryos! I hope you get a pleasant surprise.
It's good to hear the tension at the clinic is dissipating.

Thank you for posting. My fingers are CROSSED for you now, so pardon the tpyos.
I'm glad that there is less interpersonal stress for you with the docs. That has to have been even worse than you said when you were still posting. I'm still trying to imagine how bad it must have been to get YOU to shut up... ;)
I hope those little blobs are getting comfortable in there. This is the part that always freaked me out -- they're so small and hard to imagine.
Thinking of you.

My entire body is crossed for you-- quite an accomplishment since I don't even do yoga. Good luck!!!

Very happy to hear this Thalia! I am sending good thoughts to all of your embryos, even the dodgy one!! ;)
(dodgy really is one of FAVE UK words!! I picked it up when I lived there, and have used it ever since! ;D)
I really, really hope these embryos stick around for the long haul!!
Much love,
Nilla

I don't know how to type crossed fingers (or indeed how to type with them), but they are crossed for you.

Good luck - I was hoping to see some news. This sounds very promising, and I will be praying for success for you.
Glad things are better at the clinic, too.

Hi Thalia! I was reading about you on Smarshy's blog.
Just wanted to wish you all the best and I hope those embryos hold on tight!!

It's so nice to see a post. I'm glad to hear you have 3 embryos and I'm crossing fingers for you. I'm happy to hear that Dr. Condescending replied with a nice email, that must be a relief to have that sorted out.
