We got there and the nurses and doctor explained to us that only two of the eleven fertilized embryos were currently big enough for transfer/freezing. This kind of threw me off because I thought with the amount that fertilized we would have more left over to freeze, but I guess that is not the case. We talked about it and decided that we were only going to implant one since the chance of success did not increase with more than one, and because we wanted to have a possible backup in case this one does not take. The doctors will continue to let the embryos grow thru tomorrow, then will let us know next week if any additional embryos grew enough to be frozen as well.
The whole process was very interesting. It was done in an operating room with an ultra sound machine as well as a TV to allow us to watch everything. They even gave us a picture of the embryo they implanted.
We also got to wear some seriously adorable outfits during the process:
They sent me home today with the instructions that I need to relax today and tomorrow, darn =o). Unfortunately my post op instructions specified 'No Housework', sorry Adam! No working out for the next 2 weeks or so, but I can return to work on Monday. We basically get to play the waiting game now. They will have me do a pregnancy test in about a week and a half or two to determine if it took or not. Wish us luck and check back here in a couple of weeks.
Love you all!
