Today was the big embryo transfer day!! Everything went perfectly...I couldn't ask for anything better. We arrived at the clinic at 9:30, got checked in, I took my Valium, and then the embryologist came in and showed us the first first picture of our little embryo. She said it was perfect and a very "pretty" embryo. Does this mean it's a girl? haha Because my body has responded so well to everything so far and because the quality of the embryo was so good, they only transferred one. They try to eliminate multiples as much as possible because of all of the complications that could occur, and we completely trusted their opinion on this matter. They also informed us that we would definitely have 2 great quality embryos to freeze and maybe more by tomorrow. That was GREAT news too! We'll actually find out tomorrow exactly how many they are going to freeze.
Our embryo's first picture and report card....if you can't see it, it got an A! :)
Brad got dressed in his full scrubs, and they wheeled me into the OR. The lights were off and they had soft music playing in the background. The nurse wrapped my whole body with warm blankets. It was almost like getting a massage....very relaxing and peaceful! The whole little procedure lasted maybe 5 minutes, and then I was taken back to my room to lay for an hour. I'm sorry to all of my faithful followers, but I don't have an entertaining video to post today. The valium was definitely nothing compared to what I was on last week! :) I'm on bed rest for the next 2 days, and I'm definitely soaking it all up while I can.
And finally, here's a close up picture of the embryo. They explained that the darker three circles in the bottom part of the circle is the actual baby. How crazy is that?!
A Full Day, You Might Say!
