ET done

This morning we arrived at the RE's clinic at 8am for our embryo transfer. I had drank my 24oz of water & took my Valium as instructed so I was feeling quite relaxed by the time they took us back to the transfer room. I got undressed, hopped on the table & then Dr. B & the NP proceeded to talk about my sox :) Yeah - that's right! I am sportin' the "lucky sox" & they loved them :) Hey, we need all the "luck" we can get at this point!

Next the embryologist joined in the party & we all went over the embryos we were transferring. We all agreed to transfer 2 blastocysts that were a "4AA grade quality" with no fragmentation & the RE said that is about as perfect quality as you can get for Day 5 so that made us feel real good. The embryologist showed us our embies that were magnified on a TV monitor & they truly looked perfect! Then we discussed our remaining rockstar embies.

As of this morning, we have 7 that are doing well with another one not progressing as well. They will continue to let them develop until tomorrow & then decide how many qualify for freezing. I am praying the rest make it to Day 6! The transfer itself was flawless & went really quick - took less than 2 minutes! It was also painless - but maybe that was the Valium & I didn't really care about pain? :) Once the embryologist verified the embies were no longer in the catheter, Dr. B removed everything & I laid on the table for about 20 minutes & then we were able to head home.

I ended up falling asleep on the ride home & I swear it was the best nap I have ever had! Me likey some Valium :) I have been spending my day laying in bed with the bulldogs & we are catching up on some DVR'd shows. I have a feeling this 2 days of bedrest is going to be a long one but will have been worth it in the end!
