And now...we wait!

I had my transfer performed this past Tuesday. Mom and dad went with me. It was a completely painless procedure. I had to arrive an hour before my appointment to begin drinking tons of water. They wanted me to have a full bladder because it allows them to have a better view for embryo placement in the uterus. While I was drinking, the embryologists came in with a picture of the two embryos the were looking at placing in my uterus. She said that they had progressed beautifully and she had already frozen 4 other embryos and was watching 6 more to see how they progress. Seeing the picture just excited me and I can't wait to share this whole story with them one day! After my bladder was uncomfortably full we moved into the procedure area. They placed a small catheter in and used an ultrasound probe on my stomach so they could see the placement of the catheter and embryos. The embryologist brought in the babies in another catheter and they inserted them through the other catheter into my uterus. Me, mom and dad were able to watch the whole thing on ultrasound screen. When he placed them in we saw two small white dots float across the screen. It was wild! I was able to leave immediately afterwards with a few rules, but was told to live life as normal. I has already taken off the next day because I wasn't sure how I would feel, so it was a mental health day full of resting and a few errands with my sister. The nausea started Thursday and lasted all day. An afternoon nap had become part of my everyday schedule. Friday I had a field trip at school and still felt nauseous all day and tired. On the way home from work that day I got sick and had to pull over....not my best moment...lol This weekend has been fine though. I am still tired, but the nausea has subsided a little. I'm trying not to get too excited, but I just have a feeling that this will work for us. My follow-up appointment is Friday and they will do a blood pregnancy test to see if it worked or not. The next five days will be some of the longest I will ever experience. Luckily we are testing at work, so that will make my day fly by and my dad is going out of town so I'm sure my mom will keep me busy till bedtime. I will let everyone know when I know...maybe Friday or the weekend...keep the prayers coming!!

Until next time....
