Well I am sitting here on Dee & JJ's couch resting. There was no pain involved at all during the procedure and have remained pain free since then. I don't have to stay in bed, but just take it easy for the next 48 hours. No heavy lifting, exercise, going up and down stairs, no doing anything to raise breathing or heart rate.
The procedure went very smooth, took less than 10 minutes for the transfer. Amazing after all these months of waiting how fast it was over. As Dee mentioned below...the decision on how many eggs to transfer was a bit difficult. In the end we decided on transfering just two strongs blastocytes. I think everyone but Dee (me, JJ, and Dr. Lavy)thought it would be best not to go for a 3rd egg. Even though the third egg would have been a weaker (lower grade) there was still a chance it would take and possibly result in triplets. After the procedure was done I had to stay in recovery for 1 hour. Dee and JJ kept me company and we enjoyed beverages and snacks until I was allowed to leave.
I have my usual weekly Dr. appointment set for next Wednesday then one week from that is the bloodwork for the pregnancy test. OMG! We will be on pins and needles awaiting the results. Oh, also found out today I still have to take the Delestrogen injections and Crinone for another 4-6 weeks, oh joy!
There won't be much to report until our results in 2 weeks- December 2nd. Until then everyone please send prayers, positive thoughts, and STICKY VIBES our way.
PS
Missing my girls :( Stayed over Dee's house last night b/c she cooked me a special "last meal" of stuff I won't be able to eat when I am pregnant. Believe me she already has informed of a list of foods I am not allowed. I have to say her "concoction" came out delicious and it was really thoughtful of her and JJ to do that for me, especially after getting up early for Dr. apt,having to work all day then go grocery shopping and cook it. My mom watched the girls at her place last night but we are having a bunch of family here tonight for pizza so I will get to see them all in a couple hours. Staying here again tonight so I can rest without having to watch them. Amanda is NOT going to be happy about having to leave without me. :(
