Transfer Day!

So today was the big day :) I got up bright and early to go to school to decorate for Lynn's birthday....which I would not have missed for the world :) After I left school I came home to get my husband up and gather everything I needed to go for our transfer. Before the transfer I had to drink 64 ounces of water and take 4 Advil. I was also supposed to take a Valium but my heartburn was so bad I skipped it. Since the beginning of this process I have had a little bag of baby dust that I have brought to every appointment. Once we arrived at the office today before going in I threw the baby dust all over me. Once we got to the office I continued to drink my water and waiting to get my blood work done. They were checking my estrogen and progesterone. The longer I sat in the waiting room the more uncomfortable I got. Not only did I have to go to the bathroom really bad but my ovaries are still sore which really hurt more because my bladder was full. After they finally took my blood work I went across the hall to where they were going to go the transfer. Stephen and I had to change into our operating room clothes. My transfer was supposed to be 10:15 but there someone in front of me. They ended up finally taking us back there a little after 11. I was hurting so bad I could hardly walk back there. Once we got back to the operating room the embryologist came in to show us the two embryos they were going to transfer again. We could tell clearly from the picture that one of the two was much bigger than the other. She explained the bigger one was a great looking blastocyst and the smaller one was still a little behind but developing. She also let us know sadly that three of the other embryos had stopped growing and that we had one left that they may be able to freeze. As much as I wanted to have some to freeze I just felt grateful that we had two healthy embryos for transfer today because that was our ultimate goal. After seeing the pictures of our hopefully future babies the doctor did the transfer. I had heard it didn't hurt at all but I was in a lot of pain because I had to use the bathroom so bad. After it was finally over I had to lie there for 5 minutes. When the nurse came back in and said I could go to the restroom, I thought I was going to cry I was so happy. After getting dressed we got to go home. So for now I am on bed rest praying for sticky eggs. I am also praying to feel better because the Medrol really did a number on my stomach so I am still having awful heartburn and my stomach feels like it is on fire. My Mom put me on a bland diet so hopefully that will help. That is all for now, the long wait begins. I will scan the picture of our embryos tomorrow. So until then Love and Baby Dust!
