If you were a fly on our wall, you'd think I'm sick. I've done nothing but lay around the house for the sake of the two embryos that were implanted Sunday morning. Doctor's orders... two days of rest.
Yesterday also marked my entry into the emotional roller coaster that is IVF. The embryologist that performed the transfer had a heavy Asian accent and neither me nor the Husband could hardly understand her. She told us, I think, that we had two really nice embryos to transfer, one being very good... and possibly one to freeze tomorrow.
One? What happened to Friday's report that everything was going great? My heart sunk... and then I started to obsess and worry that these two little guys that were being left under by supervision were not going to make it... because let's be honest, I have no idea how to be a normal person and just relax and go with the flow.
Regardless, I had to suck it up and before I knew it, the little guys were safely in my uterus. I think the Husband has a whole new respect for what women go through with gynecological tools...
Then today, while I was laying in the bed feeling sorry for myself, worried that we'd have to go through all the medication and surgery again... the lab called. The embryologist that I had been working with all last week called and said that they were going to freeze 5 embryos today!
Suddenly much of the pressure I had been putting on myself was lifted.... relief. Not that this changes anything really, but for whatever reason, it makes me feel less stressed-- a little less crazy and a lot less overwhelmed.
Continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers... we definitely need them!
