FET Transfer Day

Just got home what a long day. Was up at 5am out the door 7:30am arrived a little after 9am. Did acupuncture, then drank my liter of water, did blood work up (of course they had issues getting some and poked me three times ugh), then transfer. 

The RE said my two embryo's un-thawed perfect and the lab tech when he brought them in the room said they looked great no issues with them. Everything went well during the transfer didn't get any pictures of the embryo's as being they where frozen they don't expose them to any light but we did get two u/s pictures of them being shot in the uterous. 

After transfer did another hour of acupuncture was so sleepy from the Valium was like doped up. 

Got out of the clinic around 1pm, had to go to the fed-ex place and overnight my blood to Chicago lab (they are rechecking my NK cells and cytokines levels to see if the predisone and lipids lowered my numbers), then went for lunch at our usual spot Gus's Diner and drove home. Now we wait ekkkk!!!!

  Some fun pictures of us waiting before transfer, my acupuncture and after we are done :)
