According to the timeline an expected egg retrieval is tentatively scheduled for some time around President's day weekend. I have off that Friday and Monday, so an egg retrieval any time around then would actually work out well. Best case scenario would be a Friday or Sunday retrieval. Least favorite is a Saturday retrieval but it is possible. I don't expect a Monday retrieval since I've never stimmed that long in the past.
Beside that, it looks like if everything behaves and I get my period when expected, we may be able to do a transfer over chol hamoed Pesach. If it has to be in April, may as well be at a convenient time for me, right? Most convenient is after all the prep but before we head back to work full time.
I'm getting ahead of myself again - who knows how my body will react this time. Experience has taught me to expect the unexpected with possible detours along the way. Even so, I'm determined to stay positive this cycle. I believe this can happen for us.
I think it's great that, even though matters are delayed, you are still able to find some positives. I do hope you are able to do your retrieval on Friday or Sunday to help you out some!
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely frustrating how long everything takes and how many delays there can be. That's great if the timing works out around the long weekend, definitely a silver lining. I think you are right to try to stay positive and just wait and see what happens with the next cycle. I am really hoping and praying that everything will go well for you. If you try to take things one day at a time with IVF, I generally find it more bearable and less overwhelming.
