Well, looks like we are still in this race. The call with the CCS results came today - a week early. Out of four blasts, we got one normal. Woohoo! Of the other three - one was T21 or Downs, T16 - would have been a miscarriage and 1 was what Dr. Surrery called chaotic. While I would have liked to have more normals, learning this just emphasized why the CCS is so important. That T21 embryo looked great and at UCSF they might have chosen it, unknowingly, and if it implanted, I would have been back at square one two years later and out another $30k.
In the world of IF, its hard to plan ahead, even a couple months. Coincidentally both my parents, my sister and brother planned to be in Denver for Thanksgiving. We'd hoped to be able to join, do the transfer and celebrate Miles' third birthday on the 25th. But not wanting to jinx anything, we hemmed and hawed if we'd make it so it feels good to have a plan for at least the next two months.
So we are cautiously optimistic. Dr. Surrey gave us 50% odds of success. A flip of the coin. Last time I heard those odds, it was the likelihood that my second pregnancy would result in a live birth. We know how that ended.
