The day we have been prepping for............ TRANSFER DAY!!

I always said that I wanted to get pregnant anytime after my birthday so I could be pregnant all winter long. So if all goes as planned then my long time wish could be granted.

Well the day is finally here..... Both Johnny and I are excited!! The transfer is scheduled for 2:15 pm on Cycle day 22.

That morning we sent Veah off to school and then went and had a nice breakfast and then did a little shopping at the mall before heading to the clinic. I had to drink lots of water before getting to the clinic because they want you to have a semi full bladder during the transfer.

We got to the clinic about 12:15 pm. I checked in for my lab work and got that all taken care of. Next, I went up stairs and checked in for my acupuncture treatment. They brought be a Valium to help my body and uterus relax and not cramp up during the transfer.  They started the acupuncture treatment and tell me to relax and just breathe... well let me tell you how hard that is when your bladder is about to blow up!! Once the treatment was done they let me go to the bathroom, well I only got to release a half of a solo cup. Again its pretty hard to stop yourself mid pee when your bladder is that full LOL. So, while waiting for the doctor to finish up with another transfer I had to empty my bladder two more times. Both times was a full solo cup... doctor said the only rule I have to follow during the transfer was to not pee on him.

The embryologist came in verified my wrist band and confirmed again that I would be transferring only one embryo. He let us know again that the grading of the embryo was a 4BA, The best grading you can get is a 4AA, so ours was almost perfect! He put a picture up on the wall of the embryo so we could see it and take a picture. Here is what it looks like....

Our 5 day embryo

Johnny got to watch on the ultrasound monitor as they transferred the embryo in, and it only took like 5 minutes if that. Once that was done I had to lay there with my legs propped up so they were even with my hips. The acupuncturist lady came back in for my second treatment. We left the office about 3:45 pm and headed home.

Just doing some acupuncture

Once I was home I had to either be in a reclined position or laying down on my back or side for the next 2 days. This is what I was not excited about. I am not very good at just sitting around doing nothing and surely don't like that Johnny will have to wait on me hand and foot. But I know that I have to do this therefore I will suffer though.
