This morning we arrived at the doctor's office for about as much good news as could be expected. All 3 embryos were still going strong. Two of them are 6 cells that the doctor is very happy with. Once is a 4 cell that he wasn't as optimistic about but is just along for the ride. Oh, we also found out that they did assisted hatching on all three embryos.
I got my little valium dose about 1o minutes before my first acupuncture session started. Afterwards while talking with Brian I was getting a little emotional, but I remained calm and relaxed.
My transfer went really, really well, in fact, according to the nurse it was a "beautiful transfer". Even the acupuncturist commented on how quick it went. I don't have pictures of the embryos as the embryologist won't allow it and she doesn't like to do anything to further stress out the little embryos.
After that I had another acupuncture treatment while I rested for about half an hour. Then the nurse came and sat with us for a while to give us discharge instructions and to chat.
So now I am home, and on house arrest until Thursday. Brian is home with me today, but the rest of the week I am on my own.
And so now I wait, and hope, and pray until my beta test on the 20th. Thanks so much to everyone for being so supportive. It has really helped!
Yeah! That's fantastic news!! Enjoy your rest and let those little guys do their job. I'm really happy for you.
ReplyDeleteGo, go little embies. I think the fact that all three are still going strong is a good sign.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you while you wait! Do you have lots of fun activities to keep you occupied on house arrest? :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Go go go little embies!
ReplyDeleteThat's great that they used AH for you guys. I'm hoping we both have a nice nine months ahead of us. Sounds like as great a day as you could ask for!
ReplyDeletePraying, praying, praying!! I am so positive for you...3 back and going strong is really good!! I can't wait until the 20th...and then I get to see you so soon afterwards!!
