Transfer Day

So I am now PUPO with our 2 little embies on board!!  Let's hope at least one of them decides to stick around for the next 9 months..though both of them are quite welcome to stay!

Transfer went well. I woke up at 3am this morning as I was so excited/nervous and I couldn't sleep. My sister arrived just after 5am to pick me up and we left by about 5:30am. I had my bloods done at QFG and picked up my scripts. Then it was off to the day theatres.

Once I had filled in all the paperwork I got to derobe (from the waist down) and was given a lovely hospital gown and robe to put on along with some booties and one of those shower cap things! So different from the last transfer...just had to get my bottom half of clothing off and away we went...

Once I was changed I had to sit in the waiting room which was also the last stage of recovery for those having EPUs. A few other couples joined me not long after and I think they were all doing FETs too. All the ladies had their partners with them so I felt a little lonely sitting by myself. Not long after I got my valium from the nurse and it kicked in pretty quickly. I felt very relaxed and a little sleepy. I even dosed off for about 10 minutes or so at one point...

Finally it was my turn and the nurse led me into the room. Wazza was there waiting. Once I had layed down I had to wiggle my fingers and toes and then repeat Wazza's magic words... Oh and then I had to sing along with his special Wazza song (which is pretty much the play school song with a few word changes). He is so funny!! I couldn't stop giggling.

The scientist came in with the embies all ready to go. The morula was now a blast (which is what they wanted) and the 7 cell got to morula stage which was pretty good. They weren't top grade (AA) embies though...only got BB grading so hopefully they are strong enough to hang around!

Once the transfer was complete Wazza walked me down the corridor and I had to 'breathe in the fertile air' and then he showed me the incubators where the embies are kept. Wazza said that if I listened closely I could hear them saying 'good luck'.

Got changed and was allowed to leave (with some extra valium for later). I've spent the rest of the day in my PJs on the couch dozing and watching TV. Very relaxing which was my plan!

My blood test is on the 12th May...going to be a loooooooong wait!

Haven't spoken to DH yet to tell him how it all went down. Must be having a busy day at work with no time to call me. Should hear from him in the next hour or so...

So there you go..it's possible to conceive a baby with your husband almost 1000kms away!!!

Please hang in tight little ones. We love you so much already.
