My beta is this Wednesday. This has been the slowest 10 days of my life. I have googled so many different possible symptoms, I don't know what to do with myself. I. am. literally. going. crazy.

One Shot Transfer

Yesterday was our embryo transfer. We were scheduled to be there at 12:00. At 10:30, our doctor called us and said that one of our embryos had stopped growing. That conversation made me so nervous for what was to come. We still had one little embryo that had reached blastocyst, which is what we had hoped and prayed for.
Here is a picture of our little embryo that they gave us befor the transfer. Kirby and I said right now it looked like a scalloped potato. So, we decided to nickname it Tater. :) Kirby said we sound so country when we say it.

The transfer itself went pretty quickly. The whole procedure lasted maybe 10 minutes. After the transfer, the doctor told me to lay there for 30 minutes and then we were free to go. We were told to take it easy over the next couple of days. I may or may not be taking it to the extreme, because I have been laying in ned since we got home yesterday. With the exception of getting up to use the bathroom.
At this point we have literally done everything we can to make this a success. Now it's up to God to finish the job. We're just hoping and praying that our little Tater grabs on and sticks!

We have embryos!

Our doctor called us yesterday to update us on our eggs. She said that of the five they retrieved, four of them were mature. Of those that were mature, two were able to fetilize. So right now, we have two little embryos. We have a lot riding on these two little embryos. Our doctor is going to call us tomorrow and let us know if they are still growing. If everthing looks good, our transfer will be Sunday afternoon!Now we just have to sit and wait...
