Embryo Transfer

If you read my "OHSS" post, you know that the last 24 hours have been rough for the Ashers.  A lot of anxiety of not knowing...

But despite all that, we were able to do our transfer today!  It was a very busy day over at RRC, so we unfortunately had a bit of a wait, but my nerves were pretty calm.  I guess Valium will do that to you!  We went back and did the whole "undress from the waist down" thing and then the doctor came in.  She gave us an update on our embryos, saying they were all doing well and that they picked out the two most perfect ones to transfer.  And then they put them under a microscope and showed them to us on a TV that had set up in the room.  Granted they both just looked like two grey circles, but knowing that we were looking at our babies was just such an awesome experience!  They then got started with the procedure.  I was told it was pretty painless, but still thought I might have some discomfort considering my full bladder and all the other issues I've been dealing with lately.  Luckily, it was a walk in the park.  Very quick.  Very painless.  When we were finished, they had me relax for about 15 minutes then I was told I could go.

I'm currently on bedrest for today and tomorrow.  Then on Thursday, I'm released to go back to work.

I have to say, I really feel good about all this.  I've had doubts at various times throughout this whole journey, but right now...I just feel so positive about it.  I truly think this is it!  We have to wait a while until everything is confirmed, but until then...as far as I'm concerned, I'm pregnant until proven otherwise!

I've got two of these beauties snuggling on in right now!
