I have 2 tiny embryos sitting in my uterus right now! It seems crazy that they are so small that they put them in through a catheter in the same way they do the inseminations.

They brought my mom and I in to the same pre-op area where I waited for my retrieval. I put on the gown and socks and waited for the nurse. She handed me pictures of the two embryos they were recommending that I transfer. One was good condition and the other fair. They both were already divided into 6 cells. She walked me through what was going to happen. One of the other eggs that fertilized didn’t make it and the 4th is continuing to develop and will hopefully be frozen in the next couple of days.

Once she had walked me through everything, she had me take a Valium. This is to relax the uterus. Then we had to wait about an hour. My mom got into her scrubs and then they brought me in. The whole transfer took about 5 minutes. While the doctor did the transfer, there nurse had the ultrasound going so I actually also have an image of the ultrasound once they were in the uterus, not that you can really see anything.

Now it’s on to the 2 week wait just like with the IUI’s. I’m on progesterone again and also on estrace. Hopefully the 2 weeks go by quickly. I’m a little nervous about the potential of twins, but with the way things have gone so far, I think I’ll be lucky to have my singleton 🙂
