Phew! We've had our transfer today. I can honestly say there was no discomfort and it was all over within 20 minutes.
We had 5 grade A blastocysts, which is an absolutely amazing result and we're feeling really proud of ourselves. The clinic asked us how many we'd like to have transferred. Buzz and I had already talked it through in detail and we decided on just 1. Although i'm 35 (36 ths year!) I only carried Posey to 35 weeks and ten she spent 10 days on neonatal care. With everything in mind, we decided 2 would carry more risks and 1 was the right answer.
For transfer, the consultant inserts a speculum inside you (like a cervical smear) and then the embryo is placed inside you on the end of a long catheter. Buzz and I watched it all on the monitor and at the end there was a little bright white light shining away in my ovary. Our little ray of light.
And now begins the 2 week wait. Although it's actually a 9 day wait! We have a blood test on Tue 28 May to establish whether or not I am pregnant. Not counting today and that day there are only 9 days between now and then! Not long at all. With Posey we had a 16 day wait so this wait will be shorter.
I don't have too much planned for the next 10 days or so. Just plenty of family time and time with Posey. I'll work when I need to but as I have my businesses I'm fortunate that I can pick and choose my hours and how much work I do.
I must continue taking my crinone progesterone supplements (lovely as they are...) as they will help my uterus get used to the idea of pregnancy. Other than that, I can carry on as normal. I'll eat well, get plenty of rest and enjoy Posey time!
One more thing....I am PUPO...pregnant until proven otherwise!!!!!
