Implant, Embies, Implant!




Well, we're back from our big day! I'm more nervous than ever and dread the long wait to find out that we're pregnant! So now, I'm hanging out on the couch with Chris today doing a whole lot of nothing, as I will do over the next couple of days.

When we got to the office this morning, the first thing was talking about how all the embryos are doing and making a final decision on how many to transfer. We had 2 early blastocysts that we transferred. The rest are a little behind schedule and tomorrow the office will let us know how many were able to be frozen.

We also got to look at pictures from the past few days of development as well as a couple of bonus pics that Chris requested. In one picture, they were getting ready to inject the sperm. If you look close you can see the little sperm in the needle, it's a little tiny white dot. The other picture is of the 2 embies that we transferred.

After the transfer I had to lay flat for an hour in the office. They wheeled me in to the "recovery room" (not really a true recovery room, more just a name to call it) and I faced the wall. I was trying to talk to Chris and one of the nurses who came back to say hi and my neck was hurting from it. So Chris moved the stretcher back so I had better scenery! Him! We prayed, listened to worship music and talked and before we knew it, it was time to go.

That brings us to where we are now, sitting on the couch! I think tonight, our friends Matt and Rhiannon are coming over to bring food and play cards! It will be a lot of fun to hang out, and to listen to Chris and Matt banter back and forth. They are both so funny! We will try and keep you up to date on our progress. Unfortunately, it's mostly waiting, the worst!
