Appointment

Well I had my first appointment last week with all my pretesting. It went well for the most part. The doctor talked to me about my history and did a physical exam. He even complimented the doctor who did my c-section saying he could barely tell where the incision was made on the uterus. He said everything looks good! He did express concern in transferring two embryos and explained all the risks but said as long as we all understand and agree to it he would transfer two. Well next I went to see the psychologist, which is the same one I saw the last time, and she did her evaluation. Last time she told the parents that they should not transfer two that it would be unfair to the kids but never questioned me about it. This time she tried to persuade me against it. She was saying "What if one splits and it ends up being triplets? And if that happens would you do selective reduction?" I told her if that was the case I might want to do selective reduction but it would have to be an informed decision between the parents, my husband, and I. After much discussion she said I am going to put in my report that you want selective reduction if they split. I really got frustrated about it because if it happens we have to know all the options for one thing if we selectively reduce it could cause a miscarriage and all of the babies would be gone.I felt as if she did not agree with transferring two and she was going to say whatever she could to get me to not do that. After all that I got a timeline and we are probably looking at a transfer in late August early September. It is not as soon as the parents were wanting but we need to make sure the timing is right so we have the best possible chance for it to work.
