IVF experiences - Gargy and Montyp

[Tracey]

Maybe it was the universe ahowing you what 1 single emby can bring!???

Positive thinking goes so much further than lifting your spirits!!!

*however remind me this in Jane/Feb!!!

You two... Just sitting here wanting to say something that will make a difference. It's not over yet darling - just do what you need to to get through this weekend and know you have loads of loving support from online friends.

My BFS said to me yesterday that I was looking at this the wrong way around - that I should be putting all my faith and energy into the one lone embie that did survive.

I just couldn't, because after hearing numbers like 12 and 8, and making plans for storage etc I was shattered when the result was one. And one that wouldn't even be strong enough to survive to a five day blast - that had to go back in after 3 days.

DH also had laryngitis yesterday, so I couldn't even talk to him properly about it.

However after the phone call this morning from the scientist, the one lone embie is dividing and doing pretty well.

So we've decided to call it Tenacious D - not after the ironic rock band, (although I suppose that would be relevant too - the irony of one surviving after 12 initially havesting) but after the original meaning: "Tenacious D"?the name used by sports commentator Marv Albert to describe robust defensive positioning in basketball.

So please start praying that Tenacious D survives the implant and for the two week wait - because we will definitely be.

Thanks for all your support, hugs and well wishes yesterday, it was really appreciated.

Today I am going out with my Mum to buy my niece a Christening present for next weekend - something life affirming and removed from our own issues.

DH is staying home to try to recover from the respiratory illness he has picked up from me (otherwise I would be going out with him).

Take care everyone.

Oh Gargy and Monty - just wanted to send you guys a huge hug, and let you know that I'm thinking of you both and will be sending you all the stickyness in the world over the next two weeks.

Go little Tenacious D.

I think they were really wise words. And my prayers and positivity are going with TD!!!!!
That little guy is a fighter- and you both deserve the gift that I pray he will bring you...
