3dp3dt

We had our transfer on 8/12 and it was a 3dt. I was really upset by this because I had my head so wrapped around the idea that the only way we'd be successful is by having a 5dt. But after reading some information, I found that they do a 3dt as long as you have a clear "winner" at 3 days. So we put back 2 embies: one 8 cell and one 7 cell both perfect quality and I am just so hopeful. I'm trying not to get ahead of myself here but I really feel like this will be it.

Here are the details:
Well, like I said since I thought it was going to be a 5dt, I waited until the last minute to call Jamie home from work so there was a bit of a frantic rush to get the the acupuncture appointment on time. But we got there and I had my pre-transfer treatment. She put needles in my legs, my head, my ears, and my belly and she used the heat lamp (note to self: must buy heat lampt o warm constantly cold feet). Then after 20 minutes it was off to East Coast.

The trasnfer was upstairs in the OR which I thought was weird, but what did I know. Dr. Pena met with us before hand and told us that e'd be transferring 2 embryos of perfect quality. Then he gave us a picture of them and did another transfer before mine. I just think it's so cool that we have a picture of our potential babies before they even were inside of me. It's just so werid.

They then wheeled me into the OR, full bladder and all, and Jamie sat right beside me. He was great through the whole thing. On the ultrasound screen I could see the embryos actually drop into my uterus which was so cool. They were in there, safe and sound. Now hopefully they'll snuggle in for the next nine months.

** A little side note: I secretly hope for twins. I don't want to tell anyone that though because I don't want to fall too hard if this doesn't work, but I just always thought I'd have twins.**

So after the transfer, we went back for my post-transfer treatment which was so relaxing. It was a nie time for me to sit back and reflect on everything that has happened in this last year. It's been a rough one and I'm so anxious for some good news. The weird thing is though, that even if it's not good news, I still think I'll be ok. I know that I am strong enough to tackle whatever challeneges come my way and I know we'll be able to get through them.

Here's to a week of waiting :)
