Wake & Pray: It's TRANSFER Day!

Our appointment started at 10AM this morning for blood work in the fertility office. Next step, surgery center downstairs. Thankfully, these 2 places are in the same building on days like today when it’s raining cats & dogs outside- - Thanks Hurricane Barry!

This procedure requires a full bladder so water, water, & more water intake were my goals while waiting to be called back to pre-op. After pre-op Dr.K brought in our little picture of our baby embryos in which I’ve included above. This image is taken inside of their petri dish. We have successfully transferred a A/5AA & A-/4AB. Transferring 2 embryos isn’t common & doc said especially now, but since we did that last time & we got ONE happy, healthy baby out of it then it makes sense that was the route we took again.

I’m sure most of you by now have seen the recent scare with another fertility clinic in the USA (not going to mention name of clinic on here) transferring babies that were NOT those parents’ actual embryos. MAJOR SCARE! At our doctor office though I’m confident without a doubt we have received ours each & every time. They take such great care of us & thoroughly examine every single detail. Once the petri dish is brought into the transfer room EVERY person in the room verifies patients name, etc before anything further happens.

Our waiting game begins now! Our next appointment will include a pregnancy test at the clinic on July 25^th. As of today, I am considered PUPO (Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise) in the fertility world. I will be on modified bedrest until our next appointment. 

Prayers, prayers, prayers for sticky baby dust continues! The next 9 days are going to seem like an eternity, but we cannot be any more thrilled to be on this wonderful journey once again. A huge thank you to everyone who has checked on us or even just sent a simple message to tell me they are praying for us thus far. You are so appreciated more than we could ever express!
