the wait

Yesterday was a busy. First to the acupuncturist, then to breakfast. Had to be at the office by 11:45. Got checked in took a valium to relax my uterus and drank a bottle of water. Transfer was at 1. It was amazing, we got to see the two fabulous looking embryos before they transfered them, and we got a picture to take home with us. Had to hang around the office for 45 minutes after the transfer and then back to the acupuncturist. We got home around 3:30 and I have been resting on the couch or in bed since. The Dr. has reassured us that the embryos were in great condition, my uterus lining is in great shape and that our chances are really good. So, I should feel good, and I do for the most part, but I still have that little voice in the back of my head saying "don't get your hopes up". I have made a couple of promises to myself - 1. no home pregnancy tests, I'm going to wait for the blood test (5/13 only 8 days away) 2. if for some reason this IVF fails I'm gonna take some time off, a month or two before we try again. The embryologist called today, we didn't have any embryos to freeze. I was a little shocked since we had so many, but it happens especially at the blastocyst stage. Anyway, back to work tomorrow. That should keep my mind busy for the rest of the week while I wait......
