Five little embryos!

The phone call I was waiting for came at around 11:30 this morning.  None of the remaining 5 embryos were suitable for biopsy and freezing, so we're left with the 5 that we had yesterday.  Dropping by half at this stage was pretty devastating but the clinic are very optimistic and keep telling me that it is a very good number so I'm trying to stay positive.  At least we know those 5 are good for transfer so any we lose after this (when we get the genetic results) is our own choice to protect our future children.

There's nothing really happening now until we have the biopsy results in 2-3 weeks so I'm going to try and put it to the back of my mind and worry as little as possible.  This therefore means that my blog will have slightly different feel for a couple of weeks.  I'll be delving more into non-IVF matters (such as giving a bit more information about my condition) and generally posting a bit more about myself as a person rather than just an IVF patient.  I'm going to try and cover various topics (IVF support networks, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and its many presentations, working with a "disability" etc.) and actually provide an insight into things rather than just a daily update on how my life is going.

For tonight, however, I'm going to be a little bit naughty and tuck into some Ben & Jerry's ice cream whilst I watch House!
