Well I could barely sleep on Sunday night. I was worried that we would get a call in the morning that we didn't have any embryos to transfer. I was relieved when we left that the phone hadn't rang.

First of all I have the WORST cold right now....Murphy's Law! My daughter is just getting over it after almost 8 days and I got it on Saturday. It's a horrible hacking cough, runny nose and sneezing. Oh, and I have welts and hives all over my body! I didn't take any cold medicine because I thought I shouldn't have the drugs in my body before the transfer. Well I should have because I was in horrible shape by the time we got to the RE. My biggest fear was pushing out the embryos with all the sneezing and coughing! Is that crazy?

Anyway, out of 3 embryos 2 made it....so we transfered both of them. We were all happy with the idea of transfering 2. If 3 had made it we would have transfered all of them, but that number made dh and I both nervous. They grew to 8 cell overnight and they did assisted hatching on them in the morning. The embryologist said they looked good. The transfer was u/s guided, easy and painless. I laid down for a half hour and we were sent home. The RE told me it was ok to take Robitussin. He said he would rather I get better. I took it twice yesterday and now I feel a little better. I just hope I didn't cough or sneeze out those embryos!

Now I'm on bedrest and poor dh is trying to take care of me and Siena. Both of us are sick and demanding.

The RE's nurse called me at the end of the day yesterday and gave me an update on my b/w from the morning. My estrogen was fine, but the progesterone was lower than they like. It was at 12 and they like it over 40 for good implantation. They upped my suppositories and injections. I just hope it's not too late.

Anyway, back to bed I go. My beta is scheduled for May 23 which would be 14dpxfer. They usually test on day 12, but that lands on a Saturday. Knowing me I'll be testing sooner. We are cautiously optimistic and praying a lot.

Babydust!

Joanne - Sounds like things went really well! I am so happy for you... would you be ok with twins if they both took? I never thought in a million years that both of our totsicles would take, what a suprise!

I caught Garrett's horrible cold and I am on day 6 of hacking, coughing, sneezing, stuffyness and overall miserableness! There isn't a lot you can take when you are pg, I am usually living on Nyquil when I am sick. So I can totally sympathize....

Enjoy bed rest and let us know if you decide to HPT early, for what it's worth I got a BFP on 8dp3dFET with the twins... and my beta was only 56 at day 14. Good luck!

Joanne,

I don't think you could sneeze those embies out if you tried. Good luck with the two embies and I'll be thinking sticky thoughts to keep those little ones planted.
