			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Ok, so its only day 9, but it FEELS like day 82 and like my ovaries can&#8217;t possibly get any bigger.  They are sore&#8230;.sore when I get up, sore when I walk, sore when I pee&#8230;I am about ready to get them out!!  They feel like grapefruits in there!!  Let&#8217;s hope that this is all worth it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m leaning much more towards putting 2 embros back in (God willing we have 2) for ET.  It really is only 50/50 this works, and that is with putting 2 back.  And I have seen enough of my cycle sistas who put two back and get pregnant with one baby.  And plenty who get pregnant with none.  If I only put one back and get a BFN, I will forever second guess myself about &#8220;what if it was the OTHER one that would have taken???&#8221;   And I won&#8217;t be able to live in that world.  And if  2 go in and both take, I will be so glad that the other one wasn&#8217;t left out of my body and maybe wouldn&#8217;t have made it otherwise. So I think I am choosing to live in a world where twins are a possibility that I can handle.  I am semi-young and healthy, and there is no reason to think that I can&#8217;t bring a healthy set of twins into this world.  And I can raise them as millions of women have done before me.  I need to stop worrying about all of the complications with twins&#8230;they are a risk I am willing to take, as any normal women should be when she decides to get knocked up.</p>
<p>Triplets are another story, so lets just hope that two is the maximum number, and that those embryos don&#8217;t make things interesting and decide to divide again once they are settled in.</p>
<p>It is nice to be optimistic&#8230;.I feel a little like I am jinxing myself debating on whether to put one or two back in&#8230;there could be none!  But we do need to be prepared for the best, so I think 2 is going to be the magic number.</p>
