Two more sleeps until we go in for our transfer.
My anxiety level actually dropped significantly yesterday when I made a follow up phone call to the nurse to get an update and have her repeat what she had said the day before. [Yes, I am that person.] When they originally called me Tuesday morning with the "fertilization report", it was early and I was still half asleep and drugged up on pain pills. So, I just wanted to hear it all again and see if there were any new details. I have distant memories of our old clinic calling us a few different times after the egg retrieval to give us an update on our embryos. It always seemed that with each passing day, one would quit growing and then maybe one would lose quality, etc. I was pleasantly surprised and left at ease when she told me that they did not have an update and would not know any more until the morning of the transfer, at which time they would take a look at the embryos and bring them out for the transfer. It makes me happy to know that they are not fidgeting around with them and checking on them regularly but they have them in the lab to grow on their own, as close as possible to the same situation they'd be in if they were in my uterus. So, we will walk in Saturday morning and find out what we have to work with.
The transfer is scheduled for 8am. I have to be there at 7:15, take a Valium to relax the uterus and then chug a bunch of water.
We're praying for good quality embryos to transfer on Saturday morning. Two would be a miracle, even one would be a miracle. Shoot, all of this is one big miracle. Oh my gosh, this is craziness. Lord, get me through these next two days.
