Hard to believe that we've been back from India for more than a week. In some ways, this past week was 'normal' - we got back into our routine, went back to work, etc - but in other ways, it was the longest week ever!
We had some email exchanges with our doctor in Mumbai - she let us know that she's planning on doing the pregnancy test on Friday or Saturday of this week, meaning that we still have almost another week to wait for some (hopefully good) news. We're trying not to think about it constantly, but I've found myself looking at fertility blogs and other IVF discussion forums at least 3-4 times in the past week. Even though there's no way to calculate odds of success (since there are so many different variables at play), I am encouraged when I read about the experiences of other couples who had our same 'embryo scenario' and got pregnant with at least one baby! However, we also need to be cautious about managing our own expectations appropriately - we'll obviously be disappointed if it doesn't work this time around, but we know it will happen when it is meant to happen.
We're leaving for Costa Rica on Saturday morning, so we're really hoping that we can get the results before we head out of the country (again). Depending on when we get the results, we will update the blog as soon as we can! Thank you again for all of your love and supoprt.
