FET DAY!

Ok so I am 1 day post my FET and feel good overall physically... All went better than expected...this time my husband was able to come with me and experience the procedure. The days leading up to the transfer day I managed to keep my cool and feel relaxed and not be nervous..day of the transfer, however, I started feeling a knot in my stomach as we headed out towards the clinic...I just couldn't control my nerves any longer..lol..I started thinking the worst and was no longer able to suppress the crazy worry wart tendencies in me...my first and foremost worry was that the embryos were not going to survive the thawing..that we were going to get there and they were going to say "sorry your embryos didn't survive the thawing and you have no more embryos" ahhh but alas! They did and they survived and did better than expected during the thaw process with all their original cells in tact...Dr. said that it was as if they had never been frozen and we were doing  a fresh cycle transfer..crazy!...at this point I was able to finally exhale..soo relieved ...the Dr. was pretty anxious about giving us the good news that a few minutes after we arrived he came around and told us ahead of the embryologist (which she was scheduled to come by before starting the procedure lol)...he said that it is unusual that the embryos thawed out without losing any of its cells...he was very pleased about the outcome... An embryo is said to have survived the thaw process if at least half of its cells are alive. Our little embies were frozen as 8 and 6 cell embryos and came through without loosing any of their cells! Ahh what little troopers they are! Way to go little guys! I'd like to think that its a sign that they are pretty strong embryos and that the probability of them becoming babies is high ..but yeah I don't want to go there I don't want to kid myself.. I really hope these two decide to stick around this time around ;)..I really wish we were allowed to take a picture of them in the petrie dish but couldn't ... we were able to take a peek in the microscope and see them ... I would of liked to have shared how amazing they looked  :D...is it weird that I could of stared at them for hours?

 Ok here I am waiting for my procedure to begin..I managed a smile even though my bladder was almost full enough to be painful..yes they require you to have a full bladder for the procedure..and yes they do an abdominal ultrasound where they press fairly hard and you feel every minute of it :/...phew!....lol...picture is not very flattering .. wish I could of have fixed myself up a bit...unfortunately I was allowed to only take a shower with soap and water..no make up, lotions, powders, hair products..etc.. (notice i cut my hair first pic of it since I cut it a few weeks ago.. lol) You cant really appreciate it here cause its not fixed..:(..

My Hubby here..ready to go in his suit..i think he was embarrassed to have that thing on...lol

I'm pretty anxious now for "pregnancy test day" of course... March 8th I go in to check my Beta HCG levels..ahh hoping for high levels. I will not try to cheat and test at home...ahh it will be hard but I know I can do it.. ..These couple weeks will be long. One day post transfer and my mind is already racing with all sorts of crazy thoughts. I've been on bed rest for the past two days and all day Monday I have been searching and looking at videos on the implantation process..trying to figure out how long it takes an embryo to implant once they have been transferred...I like those that are in 3D animation very cool...thank you iPad for making online browsing and video watching possible in bed :D...till next time..I will be anxiously awaiting my pregnancy test. ahhhh! :)
