Today is the day I find out if my SIL is pregnant. She had invitro on 2/13 and today is the day she goes in for bloodwork to see if she is pregnant. I really hope so. I never realized how much a woman has to go through before and even after the invitro process. Before she could have her eggs harvested she had to take 4 big shots a day in the rear end and she even had an allergic reaction to the medication, but they could not substitute it with another medication. However now since the implantation she only has to take 1 shot of Progesterone in the rump at night and this will continue for another 4 more weeks if she is pregnant. I must be the biggest wimp but I would absolutely hate that, but I guess it will be worth it all if she is pregnant. Please keep your fingers crossed for her.


Have a great day!
 
Oh, I hope she was successful! I am always amazed at the effort it takes for women to conceive and carry using reproductive technology. I admire their committment to the process. I'm sure she has been feeling just awful from all the hormones, and she hasn't even started the first trimester yet! I wish her all the best.

Well, my SIL is waiting until Saturday to do the bloodtest. Some stuff came up and she wasn't able to go yesterday like she planned. Personally I think she might be kinda scared to go get the results in case they tell her she isn't. I guess tomorrow will be the day.
 
Thanks for the update, Kristi. I can't say as I blame her for wanting to delay potentially bad news, but at the same time, I don't think I could go that long without wanting to find out! I feel bad that she has to go through so much emotional turmoil. Good luck to her and her husband! I hope this works for them!

My SIL is pregnant!! On March 17 she will get an ultrasound to see if she is pregnant with one or twins. The doctor implanted 2 embryos due to my SIL's age. She is 35, but I guess they consider this a risk.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes & prayers!! You all are the BEST!!
 
Super news, Kristi!! And how nice that your babies will be so close together! Congratulations to your family!
