Finally we have a short clip of last Saturday's FET. Well, it's in the waiting room before the procedure. We figured we didn't need to show the actual procedure again because we have footage of that first transfer video here if you haven't seen it already. It was way more magical than the second time around anyway. More people, more excitement, more embryos.
But this last transfer felt like Noah and I were really just in it to win it together. We were giving it our all and felt like we had nothing to lose. Lone Ranger was kind of our bonus embryo. We had nothing on day 5 and he plumped up on day 6 giving us one more shot.
What I appreciate most about this scene is how VERY different Noah and I are, and I thank my lucky stars for that every day. I know when I'm obsessing and over thinking things during the remainder of this 2WW I can just ask Noah what he thinks about something and my brain will be stopped in its tracks and refocused on something way less complicated...
Thanks for this kind comment Maria. Staying calm all the time has not be possible for me--I try my best, but let's get real. This is all so stressful! Be good to yourself and don't blame yourself for anything. We all do our best. I wish you so much luck with this next round. Tell yourself the baby that's meant to be your will find you some how! I'll be thinking of you.

Dear Maya, I just wanted to thank you four sharing your story. You hava such a strong character (I'm argentinian so I'm sorry if I make mistakes in my writting)
Until now all the women I found were very calmed. And I thought well, this is why I'm not getting pregnant, but seeing you, with your struggles, and seeing you cry, and still do yoga, or meditate, and figthing for your dream to become a mother, it was inspiring.
You meke me think that there's hope for someone like me, who just can't get ride of fear. I can't do it and I Don't want that to be another reason to feel guilty.
We're trying a second round of IVF with egg donor. So, wish me luck.
I hope your baby is growing stronger and stronger every day. You guys have fought so hard to get there, and you will!!!!Keep us posted about that. Your story is a symbol of triumph for the rest of us
