Well, the journey for me began in September when we met the intended parents. Our journey to this point was a long, winding one. We first started the process thinking that the transfer would happen in December. My body didn't cooperate. My uterine lining would not get thick enough. We seem to think it had to do with having the IUD in for a year. We let my body reset itself and began the process again. This time things went smoothly. The transfer was schedule for Thursday, February 2, 2012. The embryologist came in and said they wanted to transfer 3 embryos. I nearly fell off the bed. Thankfully, the doctor came in and said he'd rather wait till day 5 and see how the embryos looked then. We went home disappointed that nothing happened that day. We went back on Saturday, February 4th and were told only 1 embryo was suitable for transfer and it was a grade c. The mood was slightly somber and I remember just praying to God that this little baby made it for his or her intended parents. The transfer was painless and no more intrusive than an annual exam. It went great and I went home and laid in bed--I must admit that I enjoyed a day of bed rest!
I became so anxious, waiting for today to come when the blood work would reveal whether or not the embryo made it. I had little hints that made me feel pregnant--the typical things. I gave in and cheated and took a home pregnancy test on Friday and Sunday. Both showed positive results. Today was my blood work and my beta level is at a 94 and it is official, I am pregnant! Now we just wait for the sonogram in the first week of March! We are so excited!
