Today, we transferred one beautiful high-grade already hatching (!!!!) embryo. Here she is:
Our nurse said she was like a diamond on the screen. ❤
Our beautiful em-baby!
When Dr. H walked into the room he asked if I could hear the cracking? My response was obviously ummm what?
They had a bit of trouble finding my uterus as my ovaries are still a bit swollen and have sort of pushed my uterus around. Once the nurse got the ultrasound positioned correctly, the rest of the process went smoothly. After doing 3 IUIs, I can tell you this man knows how to work a catheter! I felt almost nothing.
Relaxing post transfer – ultrasound shows are beautiful embryo has arrived home.
I got a bit emotional after everyone left the room. It was such an amazing experience to see our beautiful embryo on the screen.
After I peed, we moved to the recovery room for acupuncture and a 1/2 hour lay down. They decided to put me on 15 units of HCG until my Beta. Does anyone know how this affects home pregnancy tests? I know you would want the second line to be extremely dark to ensure it’s not just a false negative. I figure I probably should just wait for the blood test now.
My Beta is scheduled for 12dp5dt – September 17.
We decided to spend another day here tomorrow and fly home on Sunday. Can’t wait to see my fur babies!
Officially pregnant until proven otherwise (PUPO). Wow. This is a great feeling.
Awaiting Autumn 
Best of luck to you both! I hope to hear some positive results soon! Very excited for you ❤

He thought it would help sustain pregnancy since we triggered with Suprefact and only did a low dose of HCG post retrieval. I need to look into it more.
