August 23rd--- FET #1

Today was that highly anticipated day....my FET was finally here!

With sore bum from the PIO, Jim and I headed out to the RE's office. I was nervous because I worried they wouldn't survive, any of them, and we'd have nothing to show for. We took Grumpy with us but he waited in the car.


When we got there they took us back pretty quick which was good because I already had to pee and I had another hour or so left to hold it. Then came the funny part. Since Jim got to go into the transfer room with me, he had to put on the surgical gowns too. His was like a space suit/jumpsuit and he was having trouble putting it on so I was laughing so hard....which didn't help the fact I had to pee!! Jim wouldn't let me take his picture but he insisted on taking mine despite me not wanting it taken.....so we call this "Silence of the Lambs"...


Once the nurses came back into the room, they took my vitals and then left us to wait for the RE to pop in and say hello before going off to the transfer. When Dr. Oz came in he gave us the good news and bad news. Our bad news was that one of the first two they thawed didn't make it so they had to thaw a third. The good news was that those two were thawed perfectly and actually the third one looked the best out of all three. One has an 80% survival rate and the other one had a 100% survival rate. Not too bad I guess!

On we went to the transfer. It was only then that I learned that I have not been putting the Endometrin in far enough. I'm starting to think back on all my AF before beta and wonder if I made that happen. I'm also wondering is it even necessary now for me to be on the PIO?? Well, no sense changing things up now I'm keeping it as is and just shoving that tab up the who ha a little further today.

So without further ado, here are Grumpy (left) and Bashful (right) we are hopeful that one or both will decide to stick around. We tried threatening them.....we told them if at least one didn't we were thawing all their brothers and sisters in storage. We're twisted, I know, LOL but you need to have some kind of humor to get through all this crap.

After the transfer we went and got......life insurance. LMAO. I'm seriously laughing about the irony of today. The insurance agent was like strangely in tune that we were doing IVF , unless Jim mentioned it but I doubt it, and he was rambling all about his grandson was an IVF baby and so and so had an IVF baby. I was like, I'm sorry what? I just want to get a policy, LOL

Anywho, we came home and had some Chinese food. My friend, who recently got pregnant, had a matching fortune with her husband before her beta so we thought we'd see if we could at least get some reassurance through the cookie maybe not matching but something. Nope....told me I have an appreciation for art and music. Thank you oh wise fortune cookie, my life is complete knowing that now since I hadn't known it before, haha.

After Chinese food it was nap time. I'm not putting myself on actual bedrest but who would pass up an opportunity to take a 2 hour nap in the middle of a Friday afternoon right??

So here I am.....almost 7hourspFET and yeah...kinda want to POAS already. That's bad I know, I can't help it. Its a curse.
