@Katzoemac Thank you, I hope and pray that we do get our March babies! The transfer is probably the easiest part of the whole process! lol Before leaving out, I filled my 25oz water bottle and took the valium they prescribed me to help keep me calm. I didn't feel any different on it though. On the ride there, I drank most of my water so that my bladder would be full. I like to drink it slowly because it's more comfortable than just chugging a bottle in one go. When we arrived, they took our temperatures then took us back to the procedure room where I got ready on the table. We had to sign paperwork to confirm that we agreed to transfer just 1. Then they brought out the picture of our embryo and explained its appearance and how it thawed well and is already hatching. You can't actually see the embryo itself on the screen when they do the procedure, it's a microscopic little thing. You just see the catheter and then the release of the fluid that the embryo is in.
So they proceeded with the external ultrasound, inserted the speculum, washed my cervix and inserted a catheter. Then the embryologist brought my embryo out in another catheter and they put the embryo in! I didn't feel anything - you're not supposed to. After that I was allowed to sit up almost right away and use the bathroom, and then we were on our way! And yes, men can be so funny about things. Even though he surprised me with his reaction, I'm glad he was allowed to be there! Just a day away for you - best of luck!
@FTale Sounds like you had a rough day! I'm glad you slept well after that. I hope AF arrives soon so that you can move on with things!
I'm feeling pretty normal today, aside from my slightly sore muscles from the PIO. Very manageable though and I noticed it felt better after I walked around a bit yesterday, so I plan to take a walk today. When the nurse asked me how I was doing on the meds, I told her that I'm having a hard time on the Endometrin and would rather just do daily PIO. She wasn't surprised that I wanted to make the switch and told me to take PIO when I got home after the procedure and that evening and then today I can officially switch to one PIO in the evening moving forward. So glad to be done with that messy Endometrin!
