The IVF lab calls this morning at 730am to remind us of our appt. for transfer today. Needless to say my heart was in my throat when the phone rang and their name and number pops up on the caller ID. I was preparing myself for bad news. Instead, this sweet voice on the other end tells us we will be transferring 4 embryo's today. I asked her where the 4th embryo came from? Are you sure it's ours??? It seems that one of the eggs was a late bloomer and made it after all.
We arrived at 1045am and this time everyone was waiting for us! I took my Valium but it hardly kicked in and I was being wheeled into the room. The nurse and u/s tech were just fabulous. The nurse was rubbing my feet and the tech kept filling me in on what was going on in the room, etc since I can't see while I'm lying flat on the table. I get into position and my RE is inserting the speculum and Chris asks her, " Is that a Pederson?" I almost died and so did my RE who started laughing hysterically. No one's husband has ever asked her if she's using a Pederson nevermind any kind of speculum. I was proud of him for remembering. I guess he's seen me being tortured during the last 2 ET's. After we all stop laughing, I feel it going in and then she tells me, "It's in, are you ok?" I asked her, "Are you sure it's in?" Chris pipes up, " Um, I think she has a better visual field to know if it's in or not." Again, we all started laughing. I don't think my RE is ever going to forget us! I was so expecting some feelings of pain and torture especially since I'm still hurting from the ER. This time is was a breeze.
They transferred the 4 embryos. There was a 12 cell, 10 cell, 9 cell and 7 cell. They also did the assisted hatching on all of them so I'm hoping beyond hope that they stick! There was a chart in the cubicle we were waiting in and our odds of success are about 48%. We also have a 38% chance for twins. That's ok with me. Chris kept commenting about the chart and kept looking at it, especially the twins part.
I was able to meditate while lying still for 20 minutes then we were free to go. I saw my RE on the way out and she mouthed, "Good Luck". I crossed my fingers and so did she and I told her Thank You. Now we wait.
I spent the day on the couch lying low and don't plan on doing much this weekend. I need to keep myself busy for the next 2 weeks. Please say some prayers for us and send some sticky vibes so these embies settle in for a long 9 months!
