Transfer

So, Transfer is complete. When we went in the procedure room for the transfer, we were informed that the late bloomer split to a 2-cell embryo and then discontinued development and began to fragment. So we ended up with one "perfect" 5-day blast. Dr. Long did my transfer and he is pretty awesome. He said that they don't get any more perfect than this...I like "perfect".

He also said that my endometrium is beautiful, thanks to Miriam for pumping my butt full of progesterone at 5:30 sharp (interesting choice of words) everyday :)

They gave my a "snuggle bear because we care", that was just weird to me but I think Roxy will enjoy eating it.

We also received a list of symptoms that women often mistaken for pregnancy because of the other hormone injections. This made me laugh, because I could so hear people claiming to have pregnancy symptoms immediately after transfer, knowing that is sooooo unlikely.

The list of things that I CAN still do included normal household chores. I thought this to be a bit inappropriate, at least let me milk the "I need my rest" card for the next two weeks, but noooo! Just sayin, I think they should reconsider their list.

Overall it was such a cool experience. Seeing the picture of the embryo, having the doc tell us exactly what he was doing and why. He answered all of our questions and made us feel so comfortable and confident. Robert was in there with me the whole time, with his gown, mask and little shoe covers...I wish I would have thought to take a camera : /

So yeah, we are waiting, but will know by New Years! :D
