Transfer Day!! (5 dpf)

Today was a beautiful day!!

First, here are the sweet miracle babies that are in my belly this evening and hopefully for nine more months!

I woke up this morning hoping that today would be the first day of my nine wonderful months of pregnancy! We can only wait and see. My mom, dad, sister, Tim and I all went to the clinic today around 12:30pm. Only my mom and Tim were able to be in the room (the weekend staff is NOT nearly as nice as the regular staff) while they did the actual transfer.

I'm really glad that I took the advice of some of my friends from RESOLVE and did not drink a lot of Gatorade before the procedure (even though they ask for a full bladder). I was comfortable and not freaking out about going to the bathroom, which made me feel relaxed.

The Dr. Not So Nice was saying that we had two really good and healthy embryos but that they were only going to put in one...SAY WHAT?

HOLD UP!

She even said, "Dr. Stillman would not want to hear that you had two put in.....there are so many more complications with twins.....you will have a 2% chance of having triplets....here let me give you the stats...."

BLAH, BLAH...I wasn't hearing any of it. My babies, my money, my time, my decision...

PUT THEM BOTH IN!

She was not happy with the decision, but I didn't care at all what she thought. Her professional opinion is one thing, but you have to remember the only statistics that fertility clinics want is "singleton" pregnancies. Twins and multiple births are not good for their statistics, so they really stress against more then one embryo is under 37 years old.

Getting ready!

So as of right now, our chance of pregnancy is 62%, the chance of twins is 51% and the chance of triplets is 2%. She thought she could stress me out and change my mind...HA, she doesn't know who I am! We'll take our 2% chance of triplets...I am confident God won't give us anything we couldn't handle, so if it's meant to be then so be it. 

So, I layed back and they started. It was simply amazing; when they put them in, we saw them float right to the top of my uterus. It was like two little angels floating in and settling in. My mom even started crying. It was just so amazing. I will never forget that.

Future Grandma...hopefully

Mommy and Daddy to be...hopefully!

I really thought that the mock embryo transfer was more painful, I guess because they put a lot more fluid in the uterus then.

We came home and the bed rest began. I guess the fact that I have to stay in bed, makes it more difficult because any other day I would be glad to take a nap and do nothing. Today, I have already been so bored. However, tomorrow I plan on watching The Hallmark Channel all day and catching up on some sweet movies since their having a marathon of movies. Going to also make some phone calls that our very overdue to some family members that are dying to hear how this all has gone.

Oh, and my bed mate all day....
