Transfer Day! Woot!!

We finally made it, it was Wednesday the 12th of August, and I was super excited. They scheduled me to transfer at 9am, and to be there with a mostly full bladder by 8:30.

They were running behind, and I had to go, and bad! I kept asking would it be much longer, because I have to pee. They said 15 more mins, every single time I asked, which was about 4 times. They finally let me go a little, and then I needed to go a little again, and finally a 3rd time, thankfully I have good control. 10:30 rolls around and they finally got to me, the Embryologist came in and confirmed my name with my embies, and I got the report from the RE.

We hadn't decided whether to transfer 2 or 3, and we needed her help deciding...So when she came in with the report we were ready for her opinion.

Report:

The 2 grade A's had dropped to grade B's and had changed to Blasts. She said the Embryologist is a tough grader, and that she thought they looked really really good.
The decision on how many to transfer was taken out of our hands when she informed us that all the other embryo's didn't make it past the day before. I was sad, I had hoped to freeze some.

Into the surgical room I go, picture in hand of my embies! It was exciting! The only problem, my bladder was about to burst, everything they did hurt beyond belief, and I had tears running down my face as they told me to hold still and relax. I had to go so bad I clenched my eyes closed and couldn't watch the screen, the pain was unbearable, and I didn't want to pee on Dr. D.
Thankfully she emptied my bladder for me while I laid on the table for 30 minutes. Instant relief!

So that was it! I had 5 days of bed rest ahead of me, and the agonizing 2 week wait. My first beta was scheduled for August 24th, and it couldn't get here soon enough!
