I'm Pupo!!!

I can't believe I'm saying that, in a way it seems like this whole IVF cycle has been a blur! I remember popping my first bc pill thinking the end seemed SO far away. But now I'm entering the home stretch, and I just hope this final week isn't quite as agonizing as last...but I have a feeling that won't be the case! Hello worst tww of my life! Please be kind to me, and if its not too much to ask a BFP would be amazing!!!

Okay, so now to the details of the transfer! Friday night I don't know how I slept at all, hubby and I were so nervous...especially since we really didn't have any details about our embabies since the call on Wednesday. I swear I kept waiting for the call to tell us there was no need to come in on Saturday for the transfer. Even on our way downtown that morning I kept praying that my phone wouldn't ring.

So Saturday morning arrived (with no cancellation calls), and I got up and showered and then we headed downtown for my first round of acupuncture at 8:15am. On the way down I downed a V8 to start the whole process of filling my bladder. I finished up around 9, and we headed over to my clinic which is next door. The nurse had told me to arrive at 9:20 so we were a little early which turned out to be brutal because they didn't end up calling us to go back until close to 10. Probably the longest hour of my life! So they bring us back and I think okay, finally!! But no, we sat in that dang room for another 50 minutes. I wasn't nervous for the procedure, we just wanted the news on our little embabies...because hubby and I were still waiting to make our decision on transferring 1 or 2 until we knew what we were dealing with.

I was also pacing my water drinking for a 10:20 transfer time, and not an 11:15 transfer. And let me tell you when someone tells you to drink but not pee, pretty much the ONLY thing you can thing about is how badly you want to pee...so brutal!! So finally my Dr. arrives a little before 11, he gives us the low down on our embabies. We have 4 very good quality, and the last little guy is moving a little slow but they're going to keep watching. I was totally shocked, I had pretty much given up the hope of freezing any of these guys and here we were with 4 blastocyst babies!! Hubby and I took a few minutes to decide what to do, the Dr. said we only had to transfer 1 with our quality and informed us that transferring 2 would give us a 5% chance of having triplets, which he definitely wanted to avoid with me being on the smaller side. We made a game time call to transfer 2!

The procedure itself was super fast, about 5 minutes and very similar to an IUI. I was beyond nervous while they did it though, almost in tears. I kept my eyes closed the whole time, and just concentrated on not peeing on my Dr. And yes, being me...the person who is always saying inappropriate things...totally told my Dr. I was scared I was going to pee on him. I couldn't see if face, but hubby said he looked VERY scared when I said that, hah! But my god, these people were an hour behind...can you imagine how my frickin bladder felt!

So to wrap this up, I'm now PUPO with two little embabies...who are nicknamed Scooter and Skeeter. The embryologist called yesterday to tell us they successfully froze our other two blastocyst babies, but unfortunately the last guy didn't make it. She also said we transferred to really really beautiful embryos so hopefully I won't be needing the frozen guys for a little while. Oh man, we can only hope!! So begins what I imagine will be the longest and most agonizing tww so far. My beta isn't even until the 27th, a week from tomorrow!! I swear that seems like a really long time, and still haven't decided if I'm going to try and hold out (hubby's preference) or POAS. I guess time will tell, which me luck girls...this is it!!!

ps...That is not my picture (apparantly my clinic doesn't do that, bummer), I do have a pic of the screen shot of the u/s with two teeny tiny white dots when they shot the embryos in my uterus. But its pretty blurry!
