Today was just fantastic! At about 9:30 this morning I got a call from the embryologist Alison. She said 13 of our embryos went to blastocyte stage! She said she never sees that and they look just "Beautiful!" This is ultimately twice as many as we were hoping for. So they sent us home with two... and froze 9 today.. two have another day to grow, hopefully to freeze tomorrow. That's 11 in safe keeping for the future! Here are a picture of the two they put in today. Aren't they so cute?!?! Baby's first picture. I cried when I saw them for the first time on the screen.
So My appointment was at 1:15, Aaron came home from work early and drove me. On the way I drank a bottle of water so to have a full bladder for the ultrasounds and procedure. When we got there they brought me and Aaron back to the special secret rooms again. They put me in a gown again with booties. They rolled me into the op room again and turned on the big light to illuminate my lady parts. (lovely) And in about 5 minutes these sweet embryos were inside. Dr. Barbieri said it couldn't have gone better and she is super optimistic.
For the rest of the day and tomorrow, and Wednesday afternoon I am to lay down... only to get up to pee... So here I lay on my bed with my lap top on my chest..
I am so very humbled and grateful for this wonderful experience. To have a possibility of carrying a child after 10 years of trying is miraculous. Needless to say I've done lots of happy crying today. :)
