It's finally arrived, the second (and hopefully final) transfer day! This time I didn't have acupuncture scheduled before hand, so I decided not to overfill my bladder, like last time. I arrived 30 minutes early (as requested) and was pulled back for my blood draw and then put into a different room to change into my transfer gown, hat, and booties.
This time, being a little more experienced, I wore a dress. So I would only have to remove my underwear prior to transfer, which was a lot quicker and I felt way more decent under my gown😛👍🏼

After slamming water for the next 20 minutes, it was finally time to go back. Since I was not overly full this time, the walk was so much better...well everything really was!
This time it was our actual doctor performing the transfer, his bedside manner is just so much better. He was talking the entire time, but not awkward, just the right amount. He was able to find the location for the transfer so much quicker than the last doctor!
Also no more Austin Powers yelling when they were ready!🤣 It was just a calm, "we are ready." A woman came from behind the door carrying a thin tube and called out who the embryos belonged to (my sisters name) and then who they were being transfered in to (my name) then handed them to the doctor, who then put the tube into the catheter type tube he already had inserted and within a few seconds we could see the little white bubble in my uterus. He said we will confirm both embryos are inside that bubble in a minute.
He gave the tube back to the woman who brought it, she went back through the door and within a few seconds she responded, "clear". Which meant yes, no embryos were left in the tube, and both were in fact contained in that little air bubble on screen!
So crazy how amazing this whole process is. You can take a frozen embryo, dethaw it, and place it in another human...and it has the possibility of growing into a human!
So after the quick procedure, I went back to a recovery room and experienced some acupuncture to help relieve stress and increase circulation.
It takes approximately 24-72 hours for these little guys to implant🤞🏼...hoping this time it works! I'm supposed to relax and take it easy for the rest of the day, so that's the plan. I'm working from home the rest of the day and have a road trip planned to Southern Utah for a wedding tomorrow. That should be relaxing, right? 😊
