PUPO

I'm officially pregnant until proven otherwise.  We had our embryo transfer today.  I was nervous all of last night and this morning.  I was POSITIVE that none of our embryos had made it.  We didn't get a call from the clinic telling us to stay home, so we headed in an hour and fifteen minutes early for acupuncture.

I enjoyed the acupuncture prior to the ET as it really helped me relax.  I know that's not the only reason for it prior to ET, but it sure helped me.  We then went back and met with our RE.  He came in and told us he had really good news and a conundrum.  The good news was that we had 3 grade-4 embryos (lab grades 0-5, with 5 being the best and hardly giving 5's out) and 2 that were below a 3.  He was hesitant to only put back 2 as my prognosis is medium-low with a pregnancy with 2.  However, if we put back 3 our prognosis almost doubles for a take home baby.  The percentage of triplets goes up, but if we were willing to take the risk, we would be more likely to have a baby. We opted to put back 3.  We signed paperwork, got pictures of our embryos and waited for the transfer.

We went back to the OR and they set up everything.  We saw our babies on the screen and then they brought them in and transferred them to me.  I then was taken back to our recovery room and had acupuncture again.  The acupuncture after wasn't quite as relaxing, but that was mostly due to side effects I was having from the meds they gave me to relax my uterus.

After the transfer we grabbed some lunch to take home and now I am all tucked into my bed and resting.  Oh, and we had a lovely surprise when we returned home.  Some dear friends had sent us a basket of daisies (my favorite) and a lovely note.
