The embryologist finally called this morning, just as we were getting ready to leave to let us know that the embryos had divided. One embryo was a blastocyst, which is right what it's supposed to be and the other was right behind it in development. They said we were going to transfer both, so we put our shoes on and headed out the door!
I was so relieved that everything was ok that I cried when I hung up the phone! Now, JP didn't actually have tears in his eyes, but he did have a quivering lip! This is such an emotional journey for us, with the super highs and the deep lows, on a daily basis. My supervisor at work said yesterday that it's so hard to see me get my hopes up then see how I change with the bad news. Here's hoping we're done with the bad news!!
So, we got down there and I had my valium, which is WONDERFUL!! They want me to be as relaxed as possible so that the embryo transfer goes smoothly. My mom is here and she got to go in with us to the transfer room. We got to see the embryos on a screen before they were loaded into the catheter for the transfer. It was obvious that there is a difference between the two.
The actual transfer doesn't take very long and my mom said it was so cool to watch the dr do everything! After they transfer the embryos into my uterus, they check the catheter to make sure there weren't any embryos left in the tube, which there wasn't. Then, I had to lie there for 15 minutes, while JP timed me!
I rode home lying in the backseat of the car and fell asleep after my Burger King treat! Now we're home, I'm in bed and mom's here with me reading her Nook. I have big plans to do absolutely NOTHING for the next couple of days!!
I will have my first pregnancy test next Wednesday. It's a loooooong 8 days, but we're praying that it will be worth the wait!!!
Thank you so much for all your prayers and support through this portion of the journey! It's a tremendous blessing to know there are so many people rooting for us!
