Okay, so it's been just over four days now since we had our transfer.
I know I'm late with this update!
I got up at 430am on August 13th soo sleepy. I got to the airport for 530 and got in line to get xrayed and everything else. It was SO embarrassing to explain why I had baby bum cream (thanks a lot suppositories! You SUCK!). I got onto the plane, I was half asleep. I know this because it's all pretty foggy still haha.
I got to Montreal, switched planes, still half asleep.
I got to Toronto.
My IF's were waiting at door C. I went to door C. They were NOT there. I texted them. They said they were at door C, and one of them was actually waiting just outside the door. We played this game for twenty minutes, and then finally, I asked for help.
Well.
Found the problem.
We were BOTH at door C.
They were at DEPARTURE...I was at ARRIVAL. Leave it to me!
We went right to the clinic. I was so nervous.
We got there, and we were called in almost right away.
I was told to put on two paper gowns, one on the front, and one on the back. Okiedokie.
I got locker number 7. Lucky 7. Surely this is a sign?
Then I was told to go and sit down for acupuncture. First thought : this is going to be relaxing. She started to put little tiny needles into my body, and it wasn't too bad.
I didn't feel this way all the way through, in fact, I could NOT wait for it to be over. It hurt. So much.
It was over, and done with and I was finally going to transfer. Thank goodness.
I laid down. It was a normal chair, reminded me of a dentists' chair, I was told to put my bum almost on the edge, so I did so. There I waited, with my two VERY nervous IF's for 10 hours.
Okay, it wasn't 10 hours.
It just felt like it.
It was probably 15 minutes.
Then the Dr came in, with the embryologist and a nurse. The nurse awkwardly put my legs up in the holders and told me to scoot down some more. Surely I couldn't scoot down any more. I could and did. They gave us a picture of our embryos, they are such beautiful...balls.

They are a 9 cell and 8 cell 3 day embryos. Very very good quality.
I also got a picture from while they were putting the embryos in, you can't see the embryos per say since they are soo small, but the embryos are in between the air bubbles :)
So the claw looking thing is what was used to put the embryos in, and between my finger and thumb is where the embryos are!
After the transfer, I barely wanted to walk in fear that I would be moving too much.
I didn't realize that I would have acupuncture afterward again. I dreaded it and it felt like she hit every single vein she could. By the end of it I just wanted to tell her not to touch me. I have bruises all up and down both legs and arms as if I was beaten from those tiny needles. NEVER AGAIN. I am all for trying whatever I can to make this transfer work, but I have officially decided that acupuncture is NOT for me.
I've also started to test of course, and this morning I seen what I thought was a shadow of a positive, but I'm still waiting until they're clearly positive to get excited.
4DP3DT *4 Days Past 3 Day Transfer*
Now it's just to keep testing, or to wait, whichever I can talk myself into doing haha. I may not test tomorrow and wait to test until Monday just so that I don't have to deal with another negative though, they're hard to take, and really, now would be quite early to be getting a test. I only have four good tests left so I also don't want to waste them!
I still have about 170 cheapy tests that I got for 18 cents each, so I'm doing those pretty well every time I go pee now, I may just keep up with those until I ssee a positive or until I hit 7DPT (in another 3.75 days). It's so hard to decide. I may just end up going to get more tests haha.
