Transfer update

Well the time has come where it's time to update you all on everything to this point. We had our transfer 4/10/14 we had to be at the office at 11:15am and as soon as I saw the building I started sobbing I was overcome with emotions from scared to happy and excited and all in between we prayed in the car and then headed in we took a picture in the waiting room as our final moments of a family of two would soon be over and we couldn't be happier. They called us back and it was time to change into my hospital attire and empty my bladder they had me drink just enough water to be able to see everything perfect on ultrasound and then I took my Valium our embryologist came in to tell us our embie who we call snow pea made it and handed us our babies first picture! dr came in and prepared everything and told our embryologist it was go time! He put everything in place and counted to 3 and we saw our snow pea go from the catheter to my womb! I started to sob the moment we worked for was here! I laid there for awhile then they wheeled me to the car and we left to check into our hotel room where I would spend the next few days on bed rest/ limited activity. Greg was amazing taking care of me and even went and got dinner from Cheesecake Factory I stuffed my face I was so hungry when I opened my salad though they gave me BBQ sauce instead of dressing I ate it anyways with the BBQ sauce it was good Greg was weirded out and asked if this was one of many to come in the weird things pregnant women ate! The next 9 days I had to keep busy because my mind was going to go crazy waiting to see if our IVF worked. 

The 9 days flew by I was able to keep busy and if not busy I was so sleepy I just slept. This Saturday our 9 day wait was over we headed to la for blood work to find out if our snow pea made it! It was the longest drive of my life!! We got blood drawn then hung around because we didn't want to be in the mountains when they called. Agonizing over the call we decided to head to lunch at claim jumper, as soon as our food came we got the call..... Our nurse had that tone and my heart sank I tried my best to keep it together at the table as she told me our first IVF attempt was NOT A SUCESS... Needless to say our appetite was gone we got the check and left we hardly made it to the car before I broke down! Y poor husband was angry and sad and so was I, I felt I let him down and again it's my fault we were not pregnant. We are struggling but each day will be better we will pick up the pieces and try again! We are sad our little snow pea didn't make it however we will not give up we will beat this! 

I will leave you with some pictures of the past few weeks. We thank you all for all the love and support!

Sticky embryos!

Well as promised our last update till after transfer! Hard to believe it's coming soon, just knowing that makes me emotional. My Dr. Appointment went great today the normal blood draw and ultrasound with Mr. Wandy.....Dr. K said my lining looked great both ovaries are resting like we want,he always is so positive I just love it! I of course ask 10 million questions and he always smiles and answers to where I understand what he is saying which is so awesome. My nurse went over medications and instructions and sent me on my way, later this afternoon she called with blood work results and to tell me tomorrow we will add in another injection and everything looks great!!!!!!

We now have the ok to transfer!!! Our sweet embie is going to be thawed and prepared to be put back in this mommies body where he/she belongs!

I can only imagine I will cry as soon as that moment happens as all our hard work and everything to this point will end and another part of this journey will begin, driving home I had to blast some music to keep my mind off it or I would tear up.
Greg and I ask for all the positive thoughts and prayers as we head into transfer and that our sweet embie sticks!!!! I will update when time comes with all the details. Thank you all for all the love and support! Xoxox

Count down time!

Our Dr. Appointment went great Saturday all my blood work came back great and I am to continue the injections twice a week on Monday nights and Friday nights. I will be going back to see Dr. K Friday morning and from there they will do another blood draw and possibly add in our last injections and Lord willing I will be on that injection till I am 10.5 weeks along I never ever though I would be praying to be on injections! We will find out Friday time and date of Transfer and we will be keeping that a secret because from transfer we will have a two week wait to see if our first attempt at IVF worked or not. I will update for the last time this weekend and share as much as I can but then will not have another update until we decide to share our results!


We ask you to keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming our way as we are nervous and excited about what is to come!!!
