Infertility and Me

Today was our day 3 cell stage transfer.  We were hoping for a 5 day blast transfer, but the embryologist said there are 2 perfect embabies she wants to transfer today.  Who am I to argue with that!!!!  Jess left work early, and we headed on up to the docs office around 1pm.

Above is the transfer report showing awesome numbers for our two embabies!!!  Our embryologist explained it, and then gave us a picture of our embabies.  Se said that  the 2 embryos to be implanted looked great!!    They were both greater than 8 cells and had started to compact.  She assured us that these two were great, and what you would call and embryologists dream!!  After they went over the paperwork, they dressed me in scrubs and ushered us into the operating room.  The actual transfer procedure was all of about 2 minutes.  The rest of the time was filled with them preparing her and the embryos for transfer.  We spent the next half hour in the recovery area with Jess in the  Trendelenburg position. (I never knew there was a name for it either!!)  After they were comfortable with her leaving, we hopped in the car and headed home.  They put Jess on bed rest for today and tomorrow.  Strict instructions to only get up to eat and go potty.  This makes for interesting combination of bed rest and useless surgery guy!!  We are managing, and I will live.  I’m starting to feel better every day!! 

Aren’t they pretty?  I think they have my eyes, but Jess swears that they have her smile!!!  Let’s just hope they are feeling extra sticky!!  For now we are going by the PUPO acronym.  We are Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise!!!!  We Need lots of sticky dust!!
