Blasting Off ~ Please be the one

I had transfer yesterday and it didn't go so well. We started at 9:15am but my Specialist had lots and lots of trouble getting my cervix open - it was clamped shut and facing backwards, it would not let the catheter though at all. So after about 40mins of pocking and prodding he gave me two options he could try again with a local to numb it so that he could move it around and clamp it so that we could transfer or do it under general. I chose the local as I really wasn't that uncomfortable and I really didn't want another general so soon after the other one. 10mins later we were finally getting somewhere Making it over an hour try to transfer. After all of that I have one great hatching Blastocyst (nicely developed 5 day embryo) and 3 conformed to be frozen with another 2 that they where letting grow till today to see if they are suitable to freeze.

I now have to take the weekend off as my Specialist thinks that I need to rest after such a difficult transfer.

My blood test to see how it has all gone is set for the 29th of December, so just Christmas to get though and then hopefully I get what I want for Christmas. 

My Magnificent Seven

Yesterday I went for EPU (Egg Pick Up). I was feeling really bloated and sore but was happy as the scan showed that I had about 7 follies on Tuesday.

As my EPU was on a Saturday, the hospital put me into a private room  I was admitted at 6:45am and was headed to theatre by 8:30am. I woke to the news that all seven follies had eggs. WooHoo!!!!!! I was in a fair bit of pain after traveling home but nothing that a few painkillers didn't fix. I sleep the best sleep ever last night almost 12 hours 

Today I hung out all day for the news from the Lab, OMG what a long wait that was!! Last time they rang me at 11:30. Well I waited till 12 before I rang, but alas no answer  I had almost given up hope but at 2pm I finally got the call. All seven fertilized  I can't believe how lucky I am to have all of them fertilize.

I am hoping to do a blast transfer (day 5 embryo) on Thursday.

Now I can't wait to phone them in the morning to see how they are going.

Come on My Magnificent Seven hang in there!!!
