okay.. I'll give an update, it'll be long
well it depends on how much patience i have. this is from my phone. so forgive the grammar. so we saw the famous dr. anderson on may 10th. started suppression meds.birth control. on the 31st. then due to scheduling we had to wait forever for the rest of the process. well okay only til the end of july. so the stimulating meds werent that bad. giving myself 4 sub q injections a day. i thought i was quite the trooper. i went in on day 9. 7 days of stim meds. and the got the call that i went faster than they thought i would and that i needed to take my trigger shot the next am. so 24 hrs after the trigger i picked my husband up from the airport. he works away 2 weeks at a time. and we drove down to soldotna. after acupuncture. we had a hard time getting a sample of swimmers. my poor hubby. i tell him im sorry every time. i get to have no privates. but i dont have to enjoy it. the retrivial was crazy.... the doc was planning a fishing trip. my feet up in stirups and he was chatting with some office lady that had nothing to do with the procedure who was standing in the door way talking about halibut fishing.... really.... god i was praying he was going to pay more attn to our embies. so on the us i had 20 follies. Then they only got out 8, still confused about that. 5 were mature, and 4 fertilized. After 48 agonizing hours he called and said that there was the 4, and that they were fragmented- of course we quickly went to the WWW. To investigate. I was pretty freaked out as I had no way of contacting the doc after we came up with questions to ask. So I called Joy... I really appreciate her and her bluntness, she was the first provider we went to who was able to come up with a plan. She feels like a patient advocate. She said to get ahold of the office and have then put back all 4! A "cleaved transfer" so feeling a little better we called with a plan.... but the doc wouldn't do more than 2, and he really wanted to wait til they were a few days older-Blasts. But at this point we didn't have much confidince in his ability to do much more than fish! So we finally got a hold of his nurse, she gave us his # and I just let my husband deal with the descion. It was his turn to help :-) he missed out on all the shots and u/s. Tim said he had a really good conversation with him and that the doc was going to check on the embies and call us back. When he called us he said that one of the 4 was a "grade A" and he could pick one of the best of the fragmented ones to put back right now if we wanted. We of course said ok! We'll be there in 20 min! He said oh! I thought I'd have a few hours to get ready. Nope! We decided to stay close by our little embies... well we went in and it was only the doc. Again he basically ignored us (not trying to bash Dr. Anderson-just want the next couple who finds him online to be forwarned he has terrible bed side manner & you should talk to him on the phone!) So now we wait.... 2 extremely long weeks. Tim goes back to work before we find out if it worked. Had to have much hope when you've been pregnant and lost it 3 times before. We have 2 more little ones we're watching so should find out if they went to blasts today, maybe that will help with the hoping part. So here I am... not lifting, BDing, watching what I eat/drink, etc... all the " I'm pregnant" things. Sigh... I'll be back to edit this cause it'll bug me. But feel better now that I've written down the last 3 months of adventure.

First off thank you for the sweet comment on my blog. I love my blog community. You girls always know how to make me feel better.
I laughed as I read your describe Dr Anderson. He is a nut!! On the phone he is a totally different person. But I did love him. He's seems to be a good man.
My fingers are crossed and I wish you the very best. Rest well and hang in there. Can't wait for an update.
Much love!
Jen
