I'm a glutton for punishment and always gave in to that temptation...<br />Here's hoping you end up on the good side of statistics!Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13713650431279472763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132101063238572308.post-65246637721242838922012-04-27T08:10:16.876-04:002012-04-27T08:10:16.876-04:00PS: read back about the 3.1 average but STILL thin...PS: read back about the 3.1 average but STILL think your odds are better given the quality of embryos.

That's the problem with statistics around ART. They seldom show nuance. It means that you'd be put in the same category as someone who had one very stalled embryo put back. It just doesn't compute. <br /><br />I also prefer to expect the worst (even as I'm secretly hoping for the best). And I know how very hard it is to just BE optimistic, to allow yourself the luxury. But I think you have a right to optimism. And I'm crossing everything (very optimistically) for you.Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955659206478903815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132101063238572308.post-10435806655921034852012-04-26T19:00:32.290-04:002012-04-26T19:00:32.290-04:00I can totally sympathize with wanting to prepare f...I can totally sympathize with wanting to prepare for heartbreak. This is such a huge deal. Immeasurably large. You've been through so much, had to deal with so many shitty outcomes. BUT...it's not at all ridiculous to feel hope, and even optimism.

But that 15% doesn't tell you about number of embryos transferred, just that that's the rate at your age.<br /><br />The waiting SUCKS, I know.
