2 Embie Babies in Me!

My appointment for ET was scheduled for 0215 pm on Tuesday, July 28! (It looks like it is our clinics policy to not update the patients about the embryos till the very end if everything is in control - I didn't get to hear about our embies till I saw the RE). I was asked to empty my bladder and start drinking water (around 4 to 5 cups) at my scheduled appointment time. While loading up my bladder I had my pre-transfer acupuncture. My clinic provides laser acupuncture, which is very quick! I normally go to a different acupuncturist, but this was just going to be convenient (since it was right at the clinic)… so I decided to go with this one for the IVF. I was called in to the OR at around 0300 pm. After doing some paper work and speaking with the nurse I sat around for my RE. In the interim, I had to partially empty my bladder since it was too full (in the abdominal u/s scan).

The RE came in and handed over the picture of our sweet little babies (2 blastocysts). They looked perfect to me (I don't feel like blurting out the grade - I feel like I am comparing my babies - all I will say is one was a little larger than the other). As of yesterday we had 7 more growing… hopefully at least some of them will go in to the freezer for our future babies (I am supposed to hear from my nurse in the next 2 days)! The OR had a large TV, so I could see our babies journey from the petri-dish in to my womb. After resting for around half an hour (during which I had my post-transfer acupuncture), I was released. Overall I was pretty calm through out the process! We are glad to bring our emby babies home. I am praying that they snuggle in well for the next 9 months and we get some good news next week.

I think... I will be POAS before the beta! I don’t think I will be able to hold the suspense until I get the call from my nurse. I would like to know the results on my own terms and be able to handle it on my own. Though, I am hoping to test only a day before the beta… lets see how far I can succeed with that! :) Right now I am just resting on my couch and have been too lazy to even type up anything (hence the delay in posting - Sorry to keep you waiting)! ...Thanks for all your support girls! {HUGS}
