I am PUPO!

I am now officially PUPO! (pregnant, until proven otherwise).

We got up today and finished getting the house ready for me being stuck downstairs for a few days. I was doing pretty good all morning, but poor Chad was pretty nervous.

I went in at 9:30 for my massage today, which was amazing! I chose the back, shoulder, and neck massage with hot stones. I think I would like that daily... :)

After the massage, I went in for my blood work, then into the prep room to get ready! The Embryologist came in and explained that she thawed 2, but one did not survive the thaw, so she did have to thaw our 1 remaining embryo. This means that we don't have any left for the future. So if we want to do this again we will need to be put on the donation waiting list again, and go through everything again. One of the remaining embryos was perfect, and the other just a little behind. But she seemed to have confidence in both of them. She gave us our pictures:

Aren't they cute! :)

We went in the procedure room for the transfer, and saw the scary contraption that I was to sit on....


















Sorry it's blurry...I took it from their virtual tour online.. :) Just wanted to show how scary this thing looks.

The actual transfer went really well. We were able to see the catheter in there through an ultrasound, and they pointed out where you could see the fluid around the embryos entering. (the embryos themselves are too small to see from an ultrasound). They then checked the tube to make sure they both came out, and we were done! I was transferred to a wheeled bed, and taken to recovery. After about 30 minutes, we went home!

Now I am reclining on my couch/air mattress watching TV. Chad is sound asleep on the other end. :)

I have my last progesterone injection tonight, then I start suppositories and pills 3x daily tomorrow!

My blood pregnancy test is next friday, the 4th! they run a simple "yes or no" test first, so that I can have the results within 15 minutes, then, if it is positive, they run it again to get the actual BETA number!

So for now, I have 2 beautiful little embryos inside me, and I am praying so hard that they grab on and hold on tight!

Thanks for all the prayers!
