Our transfer is complete! We transferred our 2 day6 blasts yesterday.
Now we wait and hope and pray that they snuggle in really tight....for a good nine months!!
I have put myself on 'slight bedrest'. My RE does not believe it's necessary, but I will do anything I can to help these little ones stay around. We went out to lunch after transfer yesterday, B.dubs, yum!! And then came home. I took a quick shower and got in bed. I have only been back downstairs 2x - to get my meds and to make breakfast. Otherwise I have just been getting up to use the bathroom.
Tomorrow my dad comes to visit. This is shaping up to be a REALLY GOOD week!!
Keep us in your thoughts, please!!

Transfer Scheduled
We are on for tomorrow at 1pm. We have to be there at 12:30, with a full bladder (for me, of course!).
I wish I could be only positive, but I am scared. This is where things went wrong with the first cycle (as you know we didn't even make it to this point w/the 2nd), so even though the embies have made it this far I am nervous for them. I told A that he is driving (because I was driving to the last one) and if the phone rings, he is answering it (because I answered last time and it was bad news). Supersitious, I know, but I think of it more as protecting myself.
C'mon, my little embies, you can do this. Soon you will be "home", and hopefully growing and thriving!

OMG, I am so hungry!
And my a$$ hurts!! That would be from the PIO and estrogen injects - 2 in one side last night, boo - but it's all worth it because it means...........we were given the go-ahead!! We are on for this cycle.
Transfer is scheduled for this upcoming Tuesday, so my new request would be this: If you pray, please pray that our embryos thaw well and start thriving again. I just want to give them a chance, I just want to give our babies a chance. I truly hope that God gives us that opportunity.
I started my Hepa.rin injects yesterday too. Those are kind of painful and the make my belly bruise worse than my Lu.pron ever did. I already have one small bruise and two red injection marks. Fun, stuff, this all is!
Other good news....my dad will be here Thursday. I am amazed that I will get to be "pregnant" while one of my parents is in town. :)
This is going to be a good week. It will.
It will.
And with that, I am STARVING...off to find something to eat. :)

Umm....::waves hi::
It's been awhile I know. I actually can't believe how long it's been. Sorry that I haven't updated in awhile.
Quick synopsis of my life since Dec. 30th:
First things first - Happy New Year, albeit a little late!!
FET progress: Last BCP was 1/3, first u/s was 1/12 - went great, we were given the go-ahead to start estrogen injects, which we did that night. 2nd u/s was today. Not so great. It looks like my left ovary is gearing up for something, which we DON'T want to happen. :( We did another estrogen inject tonight and I go in for b/w on Thursday to check my progesterone levels. Praying that they are nice and low and lefty is playing tricks on us. If not, the cycle will be cancelled and I will be devastated.
I do realize how important it is for my body to be working correctly and for my progesterone to be low, and I don't want to move forward if everything isn't perfect, but the ups and downs and the hopes and disappointments of these cycles kill me. So, if you don't mind, cross your fingers (toes, eyes, whatever) for us and send up a little prayer that everything comes back ok.
Cruise: Two words - COLD/FUN!! It was a blast. So chilly and windy and even sometimes rainy, but worth it. It was great to see my friend A! I talked more than I have in a long time (which is saying something!). We flew into Ft. Lau.derdale on Thursday, stayed the night at a hotel there, drove to Mi.ami the next day, cruised around a bit, then went to the ship. Saturday we were supposed to visit their Cay, but it was too rough to tender in, so we skipped it. It was ok, it wasn't beach weather anyway. That night we arrived in Nass.au. We didn't get off the ship until the next day for our excursion - we got to swim/kiss/hug/play with sea lions! It was such a cool experience. I highly recommend it! (It was maybe in the 60's and cloudy and windy - until we got to the destination, then it cleared up a bit and we were protected from the wind, so that helped - so it wasn't the best weather we could have hoped for, but in the end it was great). On Monday we got off the ship, traveled back to Ft. Lau.derdale and had lunch with my grandparents and then flew our separate ways. Short, but tiring, fun trip. :)
We lost power yesterday, due to the heavy rains, for a few hours. I was just starting to get nervous about when it would come back on (because we had just gone grocery shopping the day before) when it started back up. Yay! I was able to fix dinner without having to light the stovetop/oven, so that was good too.
In happier thoughts...my dad is coming to visit us next week. I am so excited to see him. I started working on the spare room today (cleaning, reorganizing the closet - just 'cause, and making up the bed) and I will work on the rest of the house in the next few days. Hopefully I will be on bed rest after transfer Tuesday and into Wednesday, so I want to get done before that happens. It will be cool to know that I will be (see, I am trying to be positive and believe all will be fine with this cycle) pregnant while he is in town.
I actually googled my due date for this cycle (something I haven't done for the other two) and I will (see?!?) be due Oct. 14, 2010 (for a singleton, earlier for twins :)). I am currently 1w5d pregnant, lol!
So anyway, I will try to be better, if for no other reason than to have my FET info documented. Be back soon!!
