i always choose a different outfit to my procedures (egg collection/embryo transfer), hoping for a different, better outcome each time. 

today, i chose to buy some 미역국 for after my procedure, hoping for an auspicious outcome.

superstitious a little?

 

i was afraid that the embryos may not be good to go this morning but i was there, they hadn't rung me, i got changed into a gown, sitting and waiting for the gynae and embryologist. they said of the two remaining embryos, one was a morula - not quite a blastocyst, but still good enough to get transferred. the other was unlikely to progress they said, but they will watch one more day. i didn't feel great but at least they said plenty of pregnancies have come out of day 5 morulas, so i felt more hopeful. this time, i only felt the speculum going in as painful, but not the cervix washing part which had killed me last couple of times. now it's another time to pray, to hope, to wait.
