Transfer

My transfer was a couple days ago, on Thursday, March 29th. I've pretty much just been lounging around and taking it easy since then. I was nervous going in that our embryos would be bad again like our first IVF, but boy was I wrong! We transferred two, 8 cell embryos, which is the best for a day 3 transfer.  One was perfect with no fragmentation and the other one was almost perfect, with very little fragmentation. We were so happy, and I couldn't stop smiling the whole time were were there! We also had 17 embryos to freeze, which doesn't happen often!

This is also the first time I have had an ultrasound guided transfer. My last doctor did things old school and skipped steps that can be pretty important. Any who, so I laid on the table, with a full bladder, while my nurse held the ultrasound thingy on my stomach. The doctor used a catheter to put the embryos in and we could see it all on the ultrasound machine! It was a little uncomfortable, but really neat. After that, I continued to lay down for about 15 minutes and then we headed home.               

Now, we just sit and wait for two weeks until my blood test. These two weeks are worse than all of the shots put together! I have to just have faith that this worked and hope for the best! I'm on progesterone shots, which can mimic pregnancy symptoms in some women, so even if I think I am pregnant, I really won't know until my blood test! But I have a good feeling this time! Fingers crossed!
