transfer

[banjokazooie]

The transfer went fine. Doc talked me into three embryos when I thought I had decided on just two. She said the chance of trips is 2% and that transferring 3 increases my over all odds for success, so I went with it.

The valium was lovely, and made for some hysterical photos! My sister was with me (present for the actual transfer, even) and took lots of pics. We were laughing like a couple of loons and she reminded me today that at the hospital, I'd told her, "I'm higher than Hogan's Goat!" lol She even took a picture of my butt cheek sticking out the back of my hospital gown -- what a Sis! We always laugh like crazy when we're together, but add some valium to it and we are positively nuts!

At some point, someone (can't remember who due to the valium) asked if I was a scrapbook fanatic. I answered yes. And the RE said, "After I get a couple of babies on board here, you won't have time to scrapbook." That sounds just fine with me.

All that's left now is the prayer and the waiting. And the continued progesterone shots of course. I feel so powerless when I'm just waiting. I want to be doing something. Guess that's where the prayer comes in, eh?

Congrats on a great transfer, sound like the Valium was great! I wish I would've gotten some during my transfer! I hope these next two weeks go by quickly for you. Good Luck!!!!!! Stick embies stick!!!!

I'm so excited for you! ;DHope you find something to do during the 2ww to keep you busy.

Pre-assembling your pregnancy scrapbook and journal, perhaps

Looking forward to hearing your good news ;D

This is my first ivf so I don't quite know what to expect here but... I have been so, so, so crabby the past two days. Then today, I had a couple of crying fits over nothing important at all. One was over being so crabby, lol. The other was over laundry, I think. I can't even remember now. I am so moody, I can hardly stand myself. I ate fruit loops this morning and just put the bag away a little while ago (tonight) because I couldn't go near it. The smell was positively nauseating. Same thing with tacos. Ate them and then was absolutely gagging at the smell of them. Is this stuff just from all the shots? My boobs have gone from a 36B to a 38C in just a couple of days too. (Ouch!) It's like everything in me has gone mad since the embryo transfer. Doc upped my progesterone shots to twice daily, starting today. And tomorrow I'm to apply a Climera (estrogen, I think) patch too.

I've had pretty severe PMS in the past (when I was younger). But this is like PMS times a bazillion. I'm sad, I'm angry, I'm cursing, I'm stomping, I'm crying. I feel totally crazy right now. Please tell me this is all from the meds and I am NOT having a nervous breakdown, lol.

I know the meds can affect you physically and mentally. At least for me, I also think my emotions were all over the place because IVF can be such an intense experience and the the 2ww can seem so incredibly long! I hope you start feeling a little better. Good Luck!

How are you hanging in there? It's getting really close to your Beta, right? What do you think?
