Yesterday, I went for my trial transfer. I did not know until I got there and dying to go to the bathroom that I was unable to do so before the procedure. They have to have a full bladder. They then had me sit in the exam room half naked, having a major hot flash, in a boiling hot room for an hour or a little more before a doctor came in. My mother went with me, and I had her cracking up, I guess it was nerves too. I got up and changed my own paper once because I was sweating some kind of awful and had soaked through that paper.
When the doctor came in he explained that they did a practice to know exactly how my uterus was shaped and iron all the kink out because on the real day they want to be able to get the embryos into the catheter and implanted into your uterus in less than a minute. He said that he, the nurse, an embryologist and my husband would be in the room. My husband will have to dress out in scrubs to be with me. He said the embryos you be in an incubator being kept warm and in the dark simulating the womb. He said they would be transferring two embryos and I of course said that was fine with me in lightening speed.
When doing the procedure, he said it went very well and my uterus was nice and it was so easy to insert the catheter. He did a quick measurement and it was over in a flash. It was very quick and was just like having an IUI done so it wasn't anything different from what I have already experienced so it went very smoothly.
After the doctor finished he wanted to go ahead and do my baseline scan of my ovaries then instead of waiting until tomorrow. So after a short wait I went to another sonogram room. The tech was very nice and friendly. I loved her. She said I had a pretty uterus. :) I said, "thank you... I guess." She immediately asked if I had PCOS and I said yes. She said well you have quite a few follicles in your right ovary. I had 23, woohoo!! When she went to look at the left, it was hiding a bit and harder to see but she said I had a lot in there as well. After she got through counting, I didn't think to ask her the total in the left. I am just happy no matter what. It is all going so well. This appointment made me even more excited and made me realize that it is really happening!
My nurse called today, and since I had already done a couple things and my sonogram was good so they didn't need blood work in the morning so I get to leave a little later in the morning. We now go at 10:30 instead of 8:15. I am thankful for the extra sleep because I am so tired. So I will update you on tomorrow's visit and what will be added to my protocol tomorrow.
When I have a firm total on the funds raised yesterday, I will let you know. The part I know already was wonderful and show just how amazing people can be and how blessed we are by God! Please continue to support Rosie's in the future. No words can express my thankfulness. I just have to ask God to bless her sevenfold for the blessing Rose gave me yesterday.
