I started the day off nice and casual. Listened to my Circle Bloom audio, had a nice hot shower, breakfast and then acupuncture. I met my husband at the clinic for our appointment - both of us were quite nervous/excited, when we held hands we were both clammy.
Firstly the embryologist came into see us. She said that all 4 embryos had made it to blastocyst stage - wow, we were ecstatic! I was sure they were going to say we only had 1 or 2 left but all 4 - amazing!!! I asked later on about the grade of the one they were putting back today and its a 4AA - the best grade possible, she called it text book!!! This made me cry - I did it, I actually made a good embryo (ok so they helped us a little but still hee hee). I had been told that we could get a photo of our embie so I asked - they said they no longer like to do this due to the added risks of having to move the embie more so we were fine with not adding further risk. They then said that we would see if on a TV screen before its transferred back into me.
So the specialist came in - was the same one from the collection so I was stoked again, he is so good and explains everything along the way and makes me feel so at ease. Just what I need :)
Anyways he gave a quick check of my fufu for infection and as he was doing this the tv screen came on - firstly it showed our petri-dish with my name on it to prove its the right one, and then we saw it - our precious wee embie. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen!!! We were both mesmerised by it - science sure is amazing!! I had earlier said to my husband to take a photo of the screen but he was so busy looking he forgot ha ha. Its all good, I can let him away with it ;)
Anyways, basically our wee embie looked like this:
Isn't that just incredible!!!!
Next the embryologist brought in our catheter with the embryo in it, it was inserted into me and then when finished it was taken away to be checked to make sure it was out which it was. Job done. After a 5min lie down I was out of there!!!
In regards to the freezing of any spare, they are leaving them one more day to culture and give them the best possible chance to survive a thaw but looking like will have 1 or 2. Again, so so happy!!!
So afterwards I went off for another acupuncture session, had a nice long lunch with a good friend and now im at home with the pets chilling.
So FANTASTIC day, couldn't have wished for anything better at this stage of the game. Now all we need is for this precious wee embie to get all snug in me for the next 9months or so!!! For now I am blissfully PUPO - pregnant until proven otherwise x
