Putting it back in - 3 embryos safe and sound and back with mammy!

Well here I am post transfer - it's late at night and I can't sleep. Woke up with cramps and then got up and have been typing ever since. So - a little bit about today - Firstly, I went to visit my sister and her new baby in hospital. My mam joked that this will be me in a few months time. I've decided as my partner is really busy to stay with my mam in the 3/4 days post transfer to avail of mammy dinners and get lots of tlc!! So anyhow I was there with my sister and suddenly realised I needed to drink at least 2 litres of water before my transfer - they insist on a full bladder. Apparently this pushes up the uterus and helps the whole procedure. So I start drinking like crazy. Then it turns out, my appointment is one hour late. I'm sitting in the waiting room reading magazines but so excrutiately bursting to go to the loo, it's not funny. When they finally call me into the theatre, I'm seriously ready to burst. The nurse asks me if I'd like to go a little bit - but I decide against that as a little bit would just mean opening the floodgates and this little dam was about to give way! She asks me will I last another 20 minutes? And I nod, afraid to sit down or laugh or do anything. When I get into theatre, they go through my embryos which have been selected for transfer - they have decided that 3 is the number - although they are all of top quality (or grade as they call it). The embryologist says that they've done really really well. I'm kind of surprised as the doctor had said 2, if the quality was good, but I guess they feel it might increase my chances. So I trust them. Anyhow, I get to see my exploding bladder and uterus on the scan screen! "wow" says the nurse, your bladder is huge! The whole procedure was so uncomfortable although not too bad as I had gone through 2 iui's and had known what to expect. The transfer is really like a smear - with a full bladder! lol.

So went back home and have now been in bed all day, watched videos and had some mammy home cooking. What more can a girl ask for. I feel sorry for my partner who worked until 10pm tonight. The expression "make hay while the sun shines" actually did from the reality that farmers have to live with and my partner is literally there doing that. If they can get two good days without rain, they can finally get some food for the animals in this Winter. They've been waiting all Summer for this! Well folks, I'm going to go and try and get some rest. It being almost 4am in the morning. Positive thinking and sticky vibes - lets hope my little embies are floating peacefully towards their beds for some rest. xxx cherrygo
