Well, today was the day, what this whole long journey has been leading up to. We arrived at 7:45am for the 8:30 embryo transfer, once again I was already loopy on valium, not so much for the pain today, just to make sure I was relaxed which we all know can be a BIG challenge for me :-) The procedure today was very simple, 5 minutes tops, they transfer the emryos via a small catheter and then check the catheter under the microscope to ensure they were delivered and voila -- 2 back in the oven just that quick. So our chances of one of them sticking around is about 65% and our chances of BOTH of them sticking around is about 10-15%!
The exciting part is that we got a picture of our perfect, wonderful, miraculous looking little 'babies to be'. They were both perfect 4 cell embryo's. They actually get grades and these two were and A and A-, success rates remain the same for all grades A through B so our little embies were excellent. It was very emotional for us and I think this picture was worth the entire journey and every ounce of being uncomfortable.
