I had a dream last night that we had a baby girl. In my dream, B asked me if I was happy with a girl and my response was, "I'm just happy we had a baby."
I drove to work this morning and had a feeling that I would get results today. It made me sad thinking that I would then have to tell B my dream couldn't come true.
My cell phone rang a couple times this morning and my heart dropped each time, but it wasn't CCRM either time. But then it rang again. And it was CCRM. I answered and it was Dr. Surrey. After asking how I was, he said "you don't have to sound so terrified." He then said, "As you know, we biopsied 3 embryos." I couldn't believe he was going through background, I just wanted to know. But then he said "and 2 are normal."
I am still in shock. I was praying for one normal and really expected for them all to be abnormal.
Of course, this doesn't answer any questions as to why I keep miscarrying. So, before we transfer I am going to see an immunologist/rheumatologist that Dr. M recommended. His first appointment wasn't until mid-November, which isn't that far away. Until then I am going to back in the hope of my 2 normals.

Congrats! Those are great results :).
Good luck with the immunologist/rheumatologist appt!
Whoo-hoo!! 2 normals! A dream come true! So, as I am another waiting girl, how long was that exactly - 4 weeks?
Great news! Hope your Nov appt comes up with some kind of additional idea for how to maximize your chances of success.
Hello!
My name is Elisabeth, and I am an infertility / repeated pregnancy loss "veteran". You can read a little bit about me and my experiences in my blog: drhousewife.blogspot.com . I am completing a PhD in Counseling Psychology, and my dissertation is focused upon the impact of infertility on marriage. I believe strongly that there is a need for better support services for men and women who are undergoing IF diagnosis and treatment, and my hope is that this study will aid in the development of such services.
I am contacting you after stumbling across your blog. I am recruiting participants for my study, and wanted to invite you and your husband to take part. All that would be involved would be the completion of an online survey, that would take approximately 20 minutes. All couples who complete the surveys will receive a voucher good for a pair of free movie tickets at a Regal Cinemas.
Please let me know if you are interested by emailing me at UTInfertilityResearch@gmail.com .
Best of luck to you!
