Embryo Transfer!

    My husband and I were very excited for this day! We talked about how amazing it was that we had 8 eggs and we couldn't wait to see what the future held for each one of them. We didn't think once about the eggs not surviving fertilization, we thought we were in the clear. Well we were greeted by our embryologist, who delivered the devastating news that only 1 embryo made it to our day 5 transfer:( She did inform us that we had another embryo that was lagging behind that we could put back as well. She let us know that there was a good chance that the embryo could catch up while in the uterus, so of course we decided to give the embryo a chance. We were then escorted to the OR for the transfer and we were allowed to take pictures during the procedure.
       I was awake during this procedure, it was kind of felt like a pap smear. I did take one Valium before entering the office to help with relaxation. I did laugh at one point, which was funny to watch on the ultra sound. My husband held tightly onto my hand, until I finally told him that I was okay. When our doctor was finished he came over and gave us hugs with well wishes.:) At this time everyone left the OR and it was just the two of us. It was a nice relaxing time for both of us to just talk with each other and of course say a little prayer for our little embryos.
         Once we were out of the OR they made me go to the bathroom and get dressed. We were allowed to leave whenever we felt comfortable and at this point I was starving:) We made it home safely and I slept for the next 4-5 hours. When I woke up my mom  had arrived with my favorite chicken and noodles! We loved having visitors during our bed rest, which we did almost 48 hours. Luckily we have netflex and movies to keep us busy. We both love to sleep too, so of course that helped:) We are now in the dreaded wait until our first Beta HCG blood test, 10 days after our transfer. So we just ask for lots of Prayers for our one embryo to stick and for our second embryo to catch up. We both have struggled this entire process about freezing our embryos, so we feel like our decision was made for us. We were both upset at first, but quickly realized that God always has a plan. We just pray for our little embryos to stick around for at least 9 months;)
