Easter Sunday/Transfer

April 4th




Happy Easter !! Totally didn’t sleep at all! Woke up at 3 and tossed and turned after that. We got up at 6:15 am to get ready to go to the doctor. We get there at 8:15 and that is when I started to consume water. I had to drink a bottle of water to make sure I had a full bladder while they did the transfer. Nurse came in and gave Mikie and me our coverings we had to wear while they did the transfer. At this point I take my 800mg Ibuprofen and 1 valium. Dr. Haddad came in to speak with us before the transfer. He said the two we were transferring looked good. They are going to give the 3rd one another day to grow because it wasn’t ready to be frozen yet. He said there was a 30% chance the 3rd would be frozen. Sort of disappointment about the 3rd but still so positive that the 2 we are transferring today were going to take! The valium starts to kick in so the nurse walks Mikie and I to the “operating room”. As I am getting settled on the table the nurse gives Mikie the picture of our 2 embryos! So very neat to be able to see what they look like before they were put inside! The procedure is guided by ultrasound so we got to see everything! 1st he cleaned my cervix off then used a trail catheter to make sure he was going exactly where he wanted to inside my uterus. I feel no pain at all…the only discomfort is the nurse pressing the ultrasound on my stomach because I had a full bladder! Then Dr. Haddad placed the catheter in my uterus and pushed the embryos in! He shot them in with an air bubble. Mikie held my hand the whole time. It was such a surreal moment for us. Once it was done we got a picture of the ultrasound showing the air bubble and the 2 embryos right underneath!!! Then I was wheeled to recovery while I stayed for about 30 minutes. Again, the worst part was that I had to pee!!!!! Once recovery was done I was wheeled out to the car and that is when bed rest started! I was pretty loopy at this point from the valium. We went home and I got comfortable and took a little nap. A bit later my mom came by with tons of magazines, candy and bbq for us! My sister came by with my precious niece also. Then Jess tried to burn the house down by microwaving Lauren’s food in a medal coffee cup…… Sorry Jess, I had to write this in here! Amy, Justin, Maci and Kinsley brought us over some Easter cupcakes that were delish! I pretty much chilled the rest of the day and will do the same tomorrow and Tuesday! As far as medications…I finished the Medrol today and still continue the shots of Progesterone at 50mg. I will go in on Wednesday for bloodwork to check my Estrogen and Progesterone levels to see if I need to increase or add any more medications.

Today was such a wonderful experience for Mikie and I. I find it amazing that God chose this Easter Sunday for us. Our Savior has risen. A new beginning! We are so blessed and so grateful and so thankful that words just can not describe. God is so good and is taking such good care of us!
