Transfer Day

Please forgive me, its been a while since I've posted. We had the transfer and we are now currently patiently waiting until Monday for beta!

 

The actual transfer was a breeze, showed up downtown Chicago at the clinic, met my IM for the 2nd time and she even gave me a transfer gift. Comfy clothes from The Gap! She's so incredibly sweet!

 

So they take us 3 back to the room. Go over some paperwork, make sure we're all on the same page about how many embryos were transferring. As the RE is explaining the embryo she goes on to say "we had 1 healthy MALE embryo." I didn't know if we would find out with all the genetic testing that was done, but we did. It was so exciting to hear it was a little boy. My IM didn't even know! Poor thing, she was almost in shock, she didn't expect her to say male. It certainly makes it even more real.

 

Transfer was done literally in about 5-10 minutes. Its amazing what science is capable of letting us do these days. We were home within an hour or two and I was instructed to be on bed rest for 48 hours. Which I gladly did! :)

 

Now we wait the 10 days for the beta results. Praying for high numbers and that the little guy stuck and made himself comfy!
