[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All,
My SIL is getting a healthy embryo transferred on Friday after a multi-year run of fertility issues. She has a great uterus just bad tubes so they are very hopeful this will work. I am one of only a couple people in her life who know it is happening and I do not live near her. She suffers from anxiety and depression and she has had to come off her meds for this process so she isn't in her best mental state. My inclination is to send her flowers on[b] implantation[/b] day. Good idea or bad idea? She is a gift giver who is very thoughtful to others. Any suggestions for the note that goes with it?... I am stumped.

In case it matters: I am also pregnant (with number 2) and she is the only family member that knows. She and my brother started trying at the same time we did with our first, who is now almost 3. We will be announcing our pregnancy in another week or so when I start the second trimester. She doesn't plan to tell family anything until she is 12+ weeks along with a pregnancy as well, so no announcement for a while. [/quote]

I would send a note, like PP said, just something simple like thinking of you.  One word of caution, transfer does not mean implantation.  The embryo would not implant the day it is transferred.  Also, we hope transferred embryos implant, but there is no guarantee.  It may seem minor, but infertility terminology can matter.[/quote]
