A very emotional Friday and Transfer time!!!

After recovering from the retrieval, I woke up feeling great. I went to get a pedicure on Friday and planned to have a relaxing afternoon of yard work, reading and scrapbooking . . . . but the call from the fertility center hit me like a ton of bricks. I was just devastated. I received the voicemail yesterday updating me with the progress on our seven fertilized embryos. The news was not what we had been hoping for. Of the seven embryos that were fertilized only one was growing at a positive growth rate. As of noon on Friday we had one B, five C and one D embryo. It is just like the grading scale in high school everyone hopes for an A. The doctor felt that it was in our best interest for us to do a Day 3 transfer. And scheduled it for Saturday morning at 9am. My amazing mom packed up and headed up Friday night to be here with me and help take care of me while I was on bed rest.

I sent out prayer requests to everyone I knew! After mass hysteria and crying I talked my my awesome IVF nurse Jennifer who assured me that the "fat lady isn't even warming up" she told me to keep positive thoughts and try to stay as calm as possible. Her quote yesterday that stuck with me is "everyone wants an A, but you don't have to have straight A's to get through school" how true!! It only takes one.

Our friends Brent, Kelly and baby Ella came to hang out with us Friday night and it really helped to distract the whirl of emotions Cody and I were feeling. I slept about 2 hours total on Friday night. My mind simply would not turn off. I found myself google'ing breathing techniques at 3:30am in order to prepare myself for the transfer.

The transfer went fine. There was one small hiccup, the doctor had to use a clamp in order to get the catheter in. But, other then that it went by quickly. I am home recovering on bed rest and haven't gone completely stir crazy yet, but see it on the horizon!
