I am PUPO!! (Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise) I have an embryo nestled safe inside.<\/p>\n

I woke up in the middle of the night, anxious. I distracted myself online until I could fall asleep again. Then this morning the anxiety returned… I was starting to think that maybe taking the valium in the morning would be more beneficial than taking it right before transfer, lol. I had a ton of things to do before my appointment, so I just was zipping around town checking them off my list one after another. I was glancing at the clock all morning, checking to see how much time I had left. As the time ticked by without a noise from my cell phone I slowly started to relax.<\/p>\n

When we got to the hospital and checked in I felt a good half of the tension melt away – I mean, they wouldn’t have us suit up if there was no embryo, right? But as we waited and waited for the doctor to arrive I started worrying again. I wished the valium would kick in better.<\/p>\n

But everyone greeted me happily and exclaimed over Sheepie. Finally I was wheeled into the IVF OR – with Sheepie! Yes, they let me bring him in with me! Den sat to my right, Sheepie was clutched to my chest, warm blankets enveloped me. Abdominal ultrasound (with warm gel!), speculum, catheter… catheter…. ummm, catheter does not want to go in. They got a different catheter, one that would bend better, they said. Whew no problems with that one.<\/p>\n

Lab tech came in and gave us the report card. One blastocyst thawed, 1 blastocyst survived thaw, 0 embryos left in freezer. Before we knew it the little embryo was put in, an ultrasound pic was printed off for me, and I was wheeled back to my alcove for a mini nap (30 minutes laying down).<\/p>\n

As I layed there I felt this rush of excitement and glee and relief flood me… all of that emotion I’ve been holding at bay for weeks, too nervous to experience it. But now we know it’s alive, and it’s safe back in me.<\/p>\n

We have a long ways to go, emotionally and physically, before “pregnant”… but right now I’m just savoring this one small accomplishment.<\/p>\n
