Trial Transfer Complete

Trial transfer was a success! The full bladder part was again rough, but not nearly as rough as the transfer last time so I was thankful for that! It was nice (I suppose?) seeing Dr. O and there didn't seem to be any hard feelings or anything. He said it would be best for me to have an even FULLER bladder for the real transfer, and I know my mouth probably dropped open. That shit is torture! I think I had close to 50 oz of water in an hour. Ouch!

Mark was with me and we laughed at odd things like we always do in waiting rooms and it felt funny to be doing this all over again. We chatted with the nursing staff and my favorite nurse Sarah was still there. She gave me a hug and said she never forgot me and 'my spreadsheets' and that made me laugh. Her face turned to such warmth when she found out I'd left my job to be with Jonah full time. We ran into the embryologist who was commenting on my 'cool neck tattoo' and he remembered us from the previous cycle. I thanked him once again, as his information and guidance is what helped us in our final moments of deciding on whether or not to do an eSET. it's like consulting a gambling expert. heh.

so it was cool to see the ole gang, and everyone made "oh you're here for number two? gluttons for punishment these two!" and those kind of jokes but it was all so sweet cause you could tell they say those same things to many folks. It was just a great feel to it all. I was glad to be back.

Now, all the diagnostics are done! Sweet!

All that's left is for me to order the meds, transfer our frozen little embryo from the long term storage to the clinic and pick a date sometime in September!

T-4 hours until Trial Transfer

So far, so good. We woke up Jonah 2.5 hours early this morning so I could take Mark to work. We figured the early wake up would mean an early nap, which would mean the babysitter would not have a Cranky Jonah on her hands when I dropped him off.

Success! He's already down since 10:30am! Nice. So now I eat my cheetohs and turkey sandwich contemplating what's ahead. The only part I'm not looking forward to is the full bladder but I'm gonna power through it and it will be fine. I'm sure all will go well with the actual trial transfer itself and hell, we'll get to see Dr. O again.

Another one down! Next step? Baseline ultrasound when we're ready to start the cycle! Omg!
