We did it! Transfer day was great (as far as I can tell). We got to the office just as my acupuncturist was arriving. MM was more nervous last night and this morning than I was. I've actually been remarkably calm all week. I really feel like this is going to work. This is huge coming from me, consistently the more pessimistic one throughout the whole process. Anyway, Laurel gave me a treatment before we met with the Doc to go over the embryologist report. The fertilization rate was a little low (7/12). She thought some of the eggs were probably a little immature. Here's what happened to the 7 that fertilized:
One Grade I that had started compacting (still not sure what that means, but it's a good thing)
One 8 celled Grade II
One 6 celled Grade II
Two 5 celled Grade II
One 4 celled Grade II
One 4 celled grade III
She gave us pictures of the top two performers (the Grade I and the 8 celled Grade II) which she then proceeded to transfer into my uterus. Then Laurel returned for a post-transfer treatment. Pretty amazing. We're freezing the others in case this doesn't work.
As far as I can tell we couldn't have asked for much better. Now the waiting begins! I'm trying to plan some nice treats for myself over the next two weeks. I really hope this calm, positive attitude holds out a little longer. It's nice not to be so anxious. I'll try to post a pic of the little embryos that are not inside of me later. I can't believe we really did it. Big stuff.

I am praying for you girl. The not so anxiousness could mean that you have given it to God. I know that is what I am working on. He has ALL control. This is a very exciting month for you and I can't wait to hear. Keep staying positive. I am very impressed!

You did it!!!!!!!! OK, I really hope this will be the quickest, most peaceful 2 weeks of your life. The anticipation is almost too much :) You will be constantly on my mind!
Love you!
Luna, to clarify, we decided to go back to my first RE since the protocol was essentially the same (Dr. C actually trained her) she's more local we would go back to her for the IVF. She was very accommodating with the acupuncturist.
GREAT NEWS!!! I am so excited for you! I hope this next two weeks go by quickly! I will keep sending good thoughts your way!
That is wonderful! I too am glad that you are feeling peaceful right now. Enjoy your treats.
