Yay! and Yay!

Yay! #1: Today was the embryo transfer! Everything went fantastically smooth. We transferred two embryos and just before the transfer we we got to see the little guys up close on a screen. We watched as the embryologist changed the medium they were in and then she sucked them up in a tube and handed them to dr. F. With in seconds they were placed inside my uterus and we were able to see on the screen exactly where they were. Modern technology is more than incredible! The entire procedure took maybe 5 minutes. Now its 2ww (two week wait) which is probably the longest most torturous time for any woman who is seeking to get pregnant! On the positive side though the statistics for two embryo's transferred are:80% singleton pregnancy and 20% twins. Those are good odds if you ask me!

Yay! #2: We found out today that 10 eggs fertilized, not 7. I have been trying not to stress about the quality of the embryo's because sometimes that means absolutely nothing. So, I haven't asked exactly how good they look. But Dr. F assures me that 7 (not including the two best ones we had transferred) look good and that will most likely get a couple to freeze. Great news!!! It might just save us from having to go through the entire process again in the future!

Thats it for now...just gonna get back to waiting....:)
