Happy Transfer Day!

We did a the transfer today. We would have waited for a 5DT if there had been 3 Grade A embies but we only had 2. They were super healthy Grade A's going great guns- 8 and 9 cells. There are 9 more (yes 9. I thought we only had 9 left total but he said we had 11 this morning??) that are going to keep on cooking and we'll see if we have any totsicles on Sunday.

We talked a lot with the Dr about transferring 3. He really was open to letting us do it but wanted to make sure we knew it really didn't increase the pregnancy rate just the multiples rate. He also mentioned how good our donor was...she's had a baby and been pregnant other times. I did mention selective reduction and he said that in theory it sounds easy but at 12 weeks, when you see three beating hearts it's not so easy to do. He also said I was really too petite to carry triplets. Anyway, we decided on 2.

So, here I lay with my feet up wishing I would stop peeing. They wanted a full bladder. I had a monster full bladder so they let me empty it a little before the transfer. Then by the time the doc came in it was full again and he said, "What? Did you drink a couple of beers this morning?" hahaha! Then he mentioned it was getting fuller as we sat there waiting for the embies. They brought me a bed pan to use. I didn't think I could but when you have to pee so bad you're getting the chills....you can! I also got a Valium but it only lasted 15 minutes. Stupid pill. They should have given me 2!

The Mister loved getting a congratulatory hand shake for having such a successful fertilization rate. He was so proud of himself. Totally cute and funny.

So now we wait, patiently. I'm starving and ready for lunch. Have a lovely day and thanks so much for the sticky vibes!!! I'm really needing those. *Hugs*
