Brian and I signed our final form today. It was the Acknowledgment and Instructions for Thawing Embryos that gets sent to the cryolab. Essentially, it tells the lab how many embryos to thaw - in our case, 2 and gives them authorization to keep thawing until they get two. Currently, the embryos are frozen individually, and Kayla went two for two with thawing for her FET, so I'm hoping we have the same luck.
In signing the form, Brian and I had to go to a notary. It's free to have done at Bank of America, so being the cheap girl I am, we headed there after work. The funny thing was, the notary, who had to be all of 20 years old and a guy, read the form and as we got ready to sign, he says "do you mind if I ask what this form means?" I explained that we are trying to get pregnant and there are frozen embryos that we want thawed and this form gives permission, so that next week we can transfer them into my body. I went on to tell him that he was helping us become parents. I think I scared the hell out of him, because there was confusion mixed with fear on his face. Poor kid.
