The Big Transfer Day

Well we made it. We got here late last night and I was up late and woke at 4am, I couldn't sleep. Partly because of nerves and partly because C wasn't here with me. Unfortunately due to work she couldn't make it. We were both sad, but it worked out ok.

I finally got out of bed at 7am showered watched a bit of TLC baby shows for good luck and I was on my way. I am proud to say that I navigated the TT.C bus system quite well. It took about a half hour to get to the coffee shop across the street from the clinic. I was there at the coffee shop at 9am and didn't have to be at the clinic until 1030 so I wasted time by texting C and drank my alotment of java and water.

The WORST thing about IVF is that you have to have a full bladder. The fact that the transfers are almost always late is another thing. Hello?!? You said to have a full bladder for 11am, it is now 1125am and it is overflowing!! It is so uncomfortable to have a full bladder, lying flat on a table with your legs spread eagle and then the ultrasound probe on your stomach...PUSHING ON YOUR FULL BLADDER!! Before the doctor came in the ultrasound tech wouldn't let me go relieve a bit. The doc came in as I was hopping off the table and told him there was going to be trouble for him (if you know what I mean - uhm sitting infront of my ladybits when i am about to explode). He was like, "Yes... yes, go ahead no problem." GRRR why couldn't the ultrasound lady be as generous. Did I mention that they push on your bladder... when it's full??

The whole thing once the doc got in there took about 12 minutes. I saw it all on a big tv screen, two perfect 8 celled embryos he said. This was a 3 day tranfer. I got pictures of my totsicles which I will post on my blog once I get them scanned. I will do a preggo test on day 7, it is early, but I will test next thursday and friday am. There is really no point in poas any earlier than that.

After the transfer I sat for a half hour or 40 minutes and then went back to my hotel. I slept a couple of hours and been scowering the internet since.

I'm excited. The next two weeks shall drag, but I will keep busy with packing for our big move. Actually it is only one week before I test, but the 30th is when I will get my final answer.
