5dt: Pretty Much Pregnant

I'm still a bit out of it from the Valium and typing on my side is awkward!

We transferred two "excellent" blasts this morning. It was amazing. The embryologist came in and gave us a picture of the two we were going to transfer, pointed out the placental cells and the fetal cells. And then there was a TV in the room that hooks up to the microscope in the lab! He left, my doctor put the cath in (amongst other, icky things...that 'cleaning' was not fun!), and then we saw the dish with all my embryos, and the two to transfer were circled. We watched on the monitor as the embryologist sucked them into the tube, and then he brought it into the room. I then watched on the ultrasound as they transferred them! I could only see the catheter, but it was still really neat, to see that in my uterus and know my baby blasts were going inside me. The embryologist then checked the tube and we were all clear!

Then I almost died before they let me pee. Seriously, I nearly exploded.

As for our other 10 embryos, 2 have arrested, so they're no-gos. We have 2 good blasts, 2 fair blasts, 1 poor blast, 1 good "early blast" (what does that mean?) and 2 excellent morulas. They will tell us tomorrow evening how many made it to freeze (they freeze on Day 6 at my clinic.)

Beta is 2/3, or 17 days after ER, which I think is way too long. Hence the testing out of trigger and daily HPTs. Still getting a very faint trigger line.

I love my blastocytes.
