Thanks for cheering my on guys. I am so nervous. One second I think this is never going to work and then another second I think that this has to work.

I am supposed to be working (I brought all of my work stuff with me) but I can't concentrate.

I don't know if they will give me a picture. I never got one before. And, since I am not home (I am at a hotel) I don't think I have anywhere to scan it.

Everything went well. It was pretty different than my other transfers. I got there and had acupuncture done. The US tech came in and checked my bladder and said don't drink anymore water! She actually even let me go to the bathroom and showed me how far to fill a cup up so my bladder would still be full but I would be so uncomfortable. The embryologist arrived and told me they had a 2AB blast and a 3AB blast to transfer. Then, the doctor came in and sort of tried feel me out about transferring three and asked whether I would do selective reduction. He told me the chance of triplets was 10% if I transferred 3. In the end, I settled on 2. When he took the blasts out of the incubator it turned out they they had turned into 4ABs, which apparently is good and means they were more expanded. The doctor got excited and he is a straight shooter so I felt great that he was so positive. It was interesting because the doctor took time to pick out the best spot in my uterus. My last Re just kind of shot them in real fast. I had some more acupuncture. And, thank goodness, I did not have to use the bed pan!

Glad to hear you didn't have to use the bed pan. That would have worried me too. Fingers crossed for you. Get lots of rest. I totally understand how hard it is to concentrate on work stuff. I've been so focussed on the anticipation of my first IVF cycle I can hardly think straight. Not to mention I've been battling a cold for like three weeks. Enough already!
Well, I wish you the best of luck.

Ok AJ,

It's your time to rest up when you can, and stay positive. We are here for you, however you can take this time to be very selfish( LOL). Take care of you first, and let everyone else get in where they fit in.
No really, try to not obsess ( YEA RIGHT) ,but just really be good to yourself, and allow others to be good to you. Hey in this world if other people want to be kind it's always a plus(you know). Ok have a good day.

Everything sounds terrific -- now rest up - I agree with everyone this is it! your going to see a BFP!! Positive thoughts! I'm sure they are now settling in saying to themselves -- wow our Mom is really cool - can't wait to make her puke!!!
