Transfer

Last night was rough and filled with tossing turning, upset stomach, and a 4:30 am. stroll around the house in the dark. Then as I was getting ready I kind of had a mild panic attach. I was just very anxious about today's transfer. BUT it went super well! I felt very little.

We decided to only transfer one embryo for a couple reasons. First, all of our embryos are textbook perfect. Secondly, since I hyper stimulated... there's a chance that if pregnancy occurs, it could come back and stick around for several weeks and be very dangerous. So I'm taking the past few days as a sign from God... that one embryo is the way to go. And we are very comfortable with that. We have to really weigh things out. So we've got one perfect embryo we pray will implant over the next 48 hours.

This is a picture of our tiny little, still microscopic embryo at five days after 'conception.' The picture we have is better, more clear quality, but it didn't really scan well... but I think you get the point. I'm pretty sure this one is a boy, but Nathan this its a girl. LOL

And while we are certainly excited and hopeful about what may come, we are keeping the ration 75% hopeful 25% realistic to the chance that it may not work. I think when you've been through this journey... staying somewhat realistic is a defense mechanism. So yes, we are exciting about seeing this tiny little embryo... and praying that it implants and grows into our baby boy or girl... but we are treading lightly knowing that... this is still a maybe.

We'll go back for a pregnancy test in three weeks. Now... we wait!
