The clinic said the PGS results would take about two weeks, generally within 10 days. It has been 13.
My mom asks, "How can you be so patient!?" I say, "Going through IVF, you can't be any other way." And really, with 5 rounds patience by now comes naturally. So while I was prepared to wait until day 14 I give into my mom and sister and call the clinic. It's my mom's birthday and we all agree what a great present good news would be.
I leave a message, "It hasn't quite been 14 days but my mom and sister are making me call. Please let me know if we have results."
A short time later I see the clinic number light up on my phone. I am prepared for them to tell me the results aren't in yet. Because I know they aren't. Because if they were, someone would've called me. But the embryologyst begins with: I have some good news.
My eyes well.
Before she says anything else I know this means we have at least one. WE HAVE ONE. I tell friends and family "it's nothing" when they say how hard the last 7 months have been on me. And until this moment I have been wearing such a coat of emotional armor I don't think I even realized it. Because once I learn I have one healthy baby the armor disintegrates. And only then do I realize I have been brave. I have been patient. I have been strong. And this is my sweet reward.
We have two healthy embryos <3
