We have been having a wonderful holiday season. We have been busy with my parents and the girls have been soaking their time together which I love. They get so excited to get in the car and go see Grandma and Grandpa at my siblings homes. I can only imagine their excitement when it's our turn to have them as guests.
I am scheduled for the endometrial biopsy on Friday. They had availability today but I opted to do it after Christmas. I'm a little more nervous for this one as I know it can't be comfortable and I've only been instructed to take about 800 mg of Ibuprophen before hand. I hope there isn't too much to it. I hope that it does the job in increasing our odds of success, which is our reason for having it done.
I had a dream the other night that we went in for a transfer and our RE told us that the embryos were some of the worst quality they ever transfer and that it might not even be worth it at this point to try. I don't believe in dreams telling the future but more of just an escape for your mind and expressing subconscious or conscious thoughts. I know I've thought about it more and worried more. I've considered the idea of thawing both straws and seeing which ones make it and which seem to be growing the strongest...if they would allow us to do something like that. I worry letting them thaw and try to grow would cause them all to not make it though. We haven't talked about it with our RE either so it's a question to address at Friday's appointment. I also hate the idea of thawing both if that means wasting some or throwing a second chance out the window. But then I stress at the idea of money also. Although I'd rather live with and pay a little debt then feel like the wrong decision was made. We are tentatively set for a transfer the week of January 22nd. I'm definitely beyond more cautious about the idea of it now.
But in the meantime I am excitedly awaiting Christmas with our girls. I have a big project from Santa to still finish tonight when they go to bed but I love it and they will love it I'm sure. Excited to do some fun last minute baked goodies with the girls (yep I need to join procrastinators anonymous). And quickly following Christmas will be Kendall and Seren's 3rd birthday on Saturday. Our busy and over scheduled time of the year for sure but what a blessing.
I hope all of your projects and shopping is done (unlike mine) and I will get around to another post in the new year.

So glad to read that you are looking forward to Christmas, and that it will be a special family time.
I didn't much like the endometrial biopsy, but the pain was short lived, I would say. Don't skimp on the ibuprofen.
Merry Christmas, Michelle! I wish you a scintillating time with your loved ones.
Hope to see some pictures of them on Christmas!
Thanks Augusta :) I will make sure to top off on pain killers. Merry Christmas to you as well.
Thanks Kimberly...I'm sure there will be some taken ;)
