The Waiting Game

Transfer was this morning, all went well in spite of my teeny tiny bladder, and my need to pee every 20 minutes.

They transferred 2 good embryos, but the other 2 had "fizzled" out as our doctor put it. That's fine, and I was pretty proud of myself for focusing on the positive in this situation, which was the fact that we have 2 good embryos! It would have been great to freeze some, but c'est la vie.

It was pretty amazing to watch the ultrasound screen while the doctor put them in place, and then to see them in there after they removed the catheter.

I went to acupuncture before and after, so I feel pretty relaxed - hopefully I can maintain that feeling for a while longer.

  4. Just stopping by from ICLW and wondering how you're getting on in the craziness that is the 2WW? I'm going nuts! I have only 4 more sleeps until BT day and am inching towards it having failed but really don't know. So hard! Hope you're staying saner than I am!

  14. I've done 1 failed IVF - we didn't even make it to transfer due to 'egg issues'. So, for you, your transfer is just one more hurdle. Just try to make it through the 2ww without making yourself crazy!
