Well Monday is already here and I only have 4 more sleeps till I find out the results. I head to the doctors appointment at 7:45. I hope to know by 8:00AM, do you think that is even possible? How long will it take? Will it be blood work or urine? 4 more sleeps.

So only a few more sleeps....oh boy! Well I'm feeling many things. I'm tired, my breasts are sore some days and yesterday I cried during two songs on the drive home. This can only mean two things,I'm pregnant or I have a really bad period coming on.
Well it's 8pm on a Saturday night and I'm tired heading to bed. Waiting is very hard....still have 10 days to go.
Home sweet home! Got a nice welcome home package when we walked through door. Thank you!
Two weeks is going to be long! Got a call this morning that all three embryos are doing really good. So they will transfer the two embryos today at noon, then wait to see how the third one does and if it makes it to day 5 they will freeze the embryo.
Made it to the clinic at 11:30, met with the nurse and Dr. Min. He said he was sorry for tormenting me the other day. Trevor and I put on our hospital gowns and went into the same room they did the retrieval. We got to see a picture (below) of the two embryos they were putting in. They also showed us on the big screen. Dr. Min said the one on the left looks just like Trevor. Lol! The transfer: they do an ultrasound and use a catheter. Once they have everything on the right spot they do a trial, if that goes good.... In goes the embryos. Took all of 10 minutes, then we had to lay there for 10 minutes. Didn't hurt, was just uncomfortable with pressure and having a full bladder. After that I got to empty my bladder do my pills and now we are waiting here until 1pm. Then..... We can go home! Yay! We will be on the road soon! I'm looking forward to coming home! Pregnancy test; will be on June 1st, I have to arrange this with my family doctor. Today we got the call at 9am..... Kim this time called to let us know that the cells where dividing and they want to do the transfer tomorrow at noon. They want to transfer two embryos tomorrow. We need to make a decision on the third embryo, she doesn't know if it will make it through a freeze so suggested we wait till day 5 to see if it develops any further. If it has we can try and freeze and if it hasnt then RIP.
Tomorrow they will call from nursery and give us an update first thing. We have to be at the clinic for 11:30 with a full bladder. Not a bursting bladder just full. I will continue to take all medication today as usual. Tomorrow I need to make sure I take my prometrium by 8am and then I will take it again after the transfer. Thank you everyone for all your love, support and prayers! We are blessed to have so many great people around us. This morning we woke up at 7:30 to the sound of the phone ringing. It was Debbie calling from the clinic she was letting us know how fertilization went at the egg nursery. They fertilized four eggs and three of them took. So they will watch them today and give us a call tomorrow, we will have to be ready for either tomorrow or Thursday for the transfer. This is so exciting!!!
Love eggs: "make the target", "love notes, whispers, giggles, music, lullabies love mom and dad", "love pj", and "mellow". Breakfast: prometrium, medrol and estrace. Along with my daily vitamins. Lunch; prometrium Dinner: all three again. Last night I woke up a few times and had the craziest dreams.
8:30 - Get ready, no make up or scents 9:15: Arrive at Clinic 9:20: Go over instructions with nurse, she takes us into a back room. Here I have to take off all my clothes and wear only a hospital gown and very nice hospital shoes. The nurse goes over what will happen and gives us instructions for post egg retrieval, as well as the new medication that I will be taking. Good news no needles. 9:40: Meet the nurses - Amber and Amy. So sweet and kind, and both originally from Regina. We also meet the embryologist and she tells me to watch the TV in the room to see the egg. It will appear quickly so she will tell me when to look. 9:45: Dr. Min comes and give me my IV - lost a bit of blood. After this i'm not sure of any time: Trevor gives me a kiss and heads off to get my prescriptions and to do his business.
Pharmacy: The next few drugs I will take before and during pregnancy. Medrol $17.93: I only take this for 4 days to get my body ready. I will take this one with food. 2 tablets with breakfast and 2 tablets with supper. Estrace $35.75 : I will take this one up to my pregnancy test and if I'm pregnant then I will continue to take this pill until 10 weeks or until the clinic instructs us to stop taking. I will take 1 tablet with breakfast and 1 tablet supper. Prometrium $189.62: I will also take this up to my pregnancy test and if pregnant will continue to take until clinic instructs to discontinue. This one is interesting I will take this three times a day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will insert 2 capsules into the vagina. As instructed by the pharmacist it will be a good idea to have some panty liners. Tonight I will start my Medrol with supper but the rest of the prescription drugs will all start tomorrow. Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful moms!
Today is a day of rest, liquids tonight and a Valium before bed. Monday is a big day....can I go to sleep now? iPod - I can bring in my headphones and iPod with me for tomorrow. Anyone know some good songs that I should put on my playlist? The Egg Retrieval Playlist:
