The husband and I spent the long weekend making the decision to move ahead with an embryo tranfer in the coming months, and yesterday I rang the clinic to set the wheels in motion.
It was a much harder decision than either of us thought it would be, and who knows if it's the right one. All we can say is that we think it is - for us, for Cuinn, for the remaining embryos, and in case, because it's a very real consideration, none of the remaining embryos survive. They've been on ice for a couple of years and I don't know how that affects them though I know that they can't be kept like that forever so I assume it does, they have to survive the thaw, and then stick around after that so there're a few more hurdles along the way and of course, to put it bluntly, they're graded - Cuinn was the superior embryo and had the greatest chance which is why he went back first, so we're dealing with ... well ... I can't bring myself to say it, but they'll have to be strong. It's by no means a certain thing, even though we were very fortunate with Cuinn.
As far as when, for some reason the husband and I feel quite private at the moment about that, probably because we both feel not in the slightest ready, so I'll just say for now that it's not immediate, but we'll be working towards it over the next few months.
Pfoof.

I've got my fingers and toes and EVERYTHING crossed for wee Rupert and friends.
Re privacy, good on you. The last thing you want to feel is (even well intentioned and excited) pressure when you're still getting your head around it all.
((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))
well done.. must be so hard making such a decision and as for privacy ... i totally respect that..it's hard enough.. best wishes for it all!
um - just a thought, cuinn is pretty monumentally high octane, so a LESS superior embryo might be just what the doctor, er, ordered. i mean, he is huge, feisty, hungry, and incredibly present; here's hoping a slightly less each of those type of kid/s arrive/s within the next year. the fam has a kind of record of inconceivable conceptions thus far dontcha think? thus i wish you another breathtaking miracle, and SOON!
