We all were going a little stir crazy waiting for transfer
this afternoon. We had so much peace that everything was going to go perfectly,
but yet couldn’t help to be nervous about nothing and everything. We left for
CCRM at noon and immediately had labs drawn. From there we ventured upstairs to
the surgery center where I entered “the room.” I had acupuncture then waited
for the doctor and the embryologist to come in. It all went so fast from there.
The embryos are wheeled in an incubator where we were able
to see them up on a screen. The
embryologists then sucked the little embabies into a tiny little catheter and
then were given to the doctor to place inside my uterus. The procedure was completely pain free, minus
some discomfort from having a completely full bladder. I was laid flat and had another acupuncture
session and was able to get up an hour later.
We transferred two beautiful little babies.
The embryo on the right is fully hatched while the embryo on
the left was in the process of hatching. The really neat part is in about four
hours the hatching embryo should be fully hatched and would look like its
sibling on the right.
It’s a huge relief to be done. Now the hard part is the
waiting game. My first HCG blood test is a long ten days away. In the meantime,
I’ve been placed on bed rest and can continue normal activity Sunday when we
will travel home. I am so lucky to have such amazing friends and family. Every
text, message, and post I received today meant the world to me. You all are
stinking fantastic! Once again, keep us all in your prayers and send lots of
sticky baby vibes our way.
