We Are Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise!


Thanks Virgie for the title, hopefully that is okay that I used that. I just believe that is a great way to put it.

Today was interesting. Our appointment was later than usual so we were at least awake for it. We gave ourselves plenty of time to get there, so we ended up almost a half hour early. I was shocked when they took me back to the room early, but that ended when I ended up back in the "holding room" to sit on a bed until they were ready for me. This time, there were 2 women ahead of me so I knew it would be awhile (and I left my book in the waiting room with Barry). After over an hour, it was my turn. I went into the procedure room and noticed the torture chair again. I showed Barry what I was talking about and he laughed.

Finally we were under way. It took a while to get everything done, but not too bad. I kept getting worried that something was wrong because they kept stopping and waiting. Freaked me out. So, in the end, we transferred 2 embryos. The first was a 4 cell type A and the other was a 3 cell type B. This was after only 2 days. They did say that this is how they always do it, so we have to believe they know what they are doing. It helped that Barry saw a couple come in with their baby to show the doctor. At least we know it does work.

So, they explained that my blood test is on June 9th. And they gave me a new shot to do, but only every couple days. It was not too bad.

I did ask if I had to be on strict bed rest today and they said no, just don't do anything strenuous, but I have given in and told Barry that I will stay in bed at least "most" of today. Then I will go to the couch and just veg from there. I am completely a mess though right now. Everything I do I think is going to make the babies fall out. From peeing to walking up the stairs to our place. And then to have to wait so long to find out for sure....we are going to go nuts!
Oh, Barry made me wear blue today so we could send good boy vibes. When I told the biologist, she said that statistics show that most IVF babies are girls. Guess we will see, lol.
Sorry little ones, you did not make it. So sorry that we did not get the chance to meet you. I pray that some of your siblings will stick around for us to know.
