Gorgeous Embryos

So, today was transfer day. All went according to plan and most importantly on time. Though I still didn’t get the water drinking thing right and even had to go to the bathroom to release a little a couple of times before, all went ok. I wasn’t in tremendous pain during the actual transfer part, but needed a bedpan right after the procedure nonetheless.

In any case, our 2 embryos successfully made it through thaw and subsequently transfer. Dr. BT and the Embryologist R. even exclaimed that they were “georgous”. Post thaw – they apparently looked just as they did when they were frozen a few months ago…so all is good I guess. Dr. BT assured us that the transfer couldn’t have gone any better. He bid us “Good Luck’ and said he’ll see us next week. :)

As I previously planned, I chilled for an hour in the recovery room listening to some Jason Mraz on my iPod and read a book. The time flew by in no time. We made it home safely and I have been laid up in bed ever since. My tummy is a bit crampy which is uncomfortable but hopefully doesn’t mean anything negative.

Well, that’s all I have to report. We told Dr. BT we won’t be making one of the blood tests (there are 3 scheduled before the big pregnancy test) since we’ll be out of town and he was cool with it. He said he’ll just keep us on the same dosages and see us back for the big test – the pregnancy test – 5/22 – day before my 30th Birthday! Yowzers!!!! Either way though we get to go on our trip so yay!!! :) I am psyched. Something to distract me.

I am tired and trying to stay all calm. I am drinking loads of water and even enjoyed some fresh pineapple juice which may help with implantantion. As with the other cycles, now we wait. Wait – wait – wait! :) Keep your fingers crossed and think of some good implantation thoughts! We could sure use all the positive thinking!

All righty, I am tired! Not sure why – but I am! Have a good night everyone!
