Today is a BIG DAY.
- It is day 734 of the war, and there is finally a deal on the table between Israel and the terrorist group, brokered by the US, to finally return the final 48 hostages home who were taken on October 7, 2023.
- It is the Hebrew date of my eldest's birthday, marking the anniversary of when we became parents after 12 years of waiting.
- It is CD5 and baseline appointment day for FET 9. It's happening!
I'm 41 and this is out last embryo. Whether it sticks or not, this transfer will mark the end of an era for us. As the last viable embryo, we won't be charged for storage anymore after the transfer. I'm grateful to be in a place in our life that we are in a position to be able to transfer, that we've gotten on the same page about transfer/another baby, and agree that this is it for fertility treatment.
I think I am prepared for either outcome. I'm a very different person than I was when we first moved to this clinic. The superstitions still run deep but I have mellowed out a lot and I try to remind myself that they're just superstitions. I'm excited and hopeful, and at peace. Whatever is meant to be will be. If there's anything that I've learned over the past several years it's that He has a plan; all I can do is pray and hope.
