Hi honey I’m home

Mr BTC and I talked a lot about 2 or 3 to transfer and we decided (with the help of you all) that if they were good quality we would go for two.
So this morning, two grade 1 blastocysts were put back, one is a hatching blastocyst and one is an expanding blastocyst. These terms [...]

How many is too many?

In the UK, the legal limit for the number of embryos that can be transferred is two for a woman under 40 years of age.
They can transfer 3 here.
So, the decision is, how many to transfer? (That’s considering the doctor gives us a choice).

Up up and away

We fly out tomorrow lunch time.
The suitcase is filling up with clothes and belongings. A few hopes and dreams have been tucked into the empty corners.
I am not sure if I can take my laptop (weight allowance). I will if I can, but if not, I will send updates to twitter. My twitter details can be [...]

Gearing up
