Had Egg Transfer Today

So I had my egg transfer today and I while I was so nervous before it, everthing went really well. I'm afraid to type that because if things don't work out I don't know how they could possibly be any better the next time around. I guess there is always room for improvement, but I was pretty pleased.
The day started out way too early for me. I went in at 6 am so that I would only mss 3 hours of work and not 5. Once I was at work I tried everything I could do to keep my mind off of the transfer but that was really hard to do with the current "freeze" that is going on in our office that has stalled our work.

So Mr. P showed up around 11:30 and we were off to the IVF center. As soon as I got in the car he reminded me to take my valium which actually reminded me that I wasn't drinking enough water. I was supposed to void my bladder at 10:30 and then start drinking water. Well I voided at 10:15 and 10:45 and forgot to start drinking water. As soon as we got to the center I told the ladies that I needed to start drinking more water.

The nurse came and got us immediately and took us back to the same room we were in prior to and after my egg retrieval. Immediately they did an ultrasound to see how full my bladder was. Well, big surprise, it wasn't that full. I was given another 20 oz's of water and drank it while I waited for Dr. T. to come in. For some reason about 5 min after I guzzled that water, I had to pee so bad!

 Dr. T was supposed to be in at 12:30 to start the procedure. I finished drinking the water at about 12:20. Dr. T didn't get there till about 12:50. He came in and confirmed that we wanted to transfer two blastocysts. I asked him what they were graded and he answered that they were both 4AB. He then also informed us that we had 2 more the lab was going to freeze today, and 4 that were still growing that might be frozen tomorrow. We were thrilled! All 8 of our embryo's were still doing well on day 5.

The transfer went pretty quick and painless.Dr. T appeared to be getting annoyed with the ultrasound tech though. Mr. P said that twice he grabbed the wand from her to position it where he wanted it. I heard him tell the embrologist (sp) to hold something, but I couldn't see what was going on. Mr. P said he was handing the cathether to the embriologist so that he could snatch the wand. I think the hardest part was having to hold my bladder that long. I really had to pee. I asked the nurses if anyone had ever peed on the doctor before and she said that some had been pretty close. I thnk I was in that category. The only gross thing about the transfer was the Crinone build-up that I didn't know I had till this morning. Dr. T had to clean it out before the transfer and that grossed me out!

Once the transfer was done we just had to wait for 30 min. before we could leave. Unfortunately, I did have to use the bed pan. Honestly, I didn't want to, but I had to go so bad that it wasn't an option to not use it. So, for the most part things went really well. I have my blood pregnancy test on the 14th and I feel like that is an eternity away.
