Embryo Transfer

OK, so from the retrieval they froze 4 and left 5 eggs out to grow for a day 5 transfer. When we arrived last Wednesday we met with the embryologist (did you ever know you could be an embryologist when you were in school; my husband and I honestly didn't even know the job existed) so he came in and said the eggs were not as good and left. OK, my husband and I stared at each other in ahhh like what just happened luckily the doctor came in right after and could tell we were confused and a little taken back. He explained that out of the 5 remaining 2 of them were still growing just A LOT slower then he was anticipating and then 1 more  was growing slower than other 2. So out of the 5 embryo's they decided it would be best to transfer the best 3 embryo's in hopes of at least 1 of them attaching to the endometrial lining. The lining must be at least a 10 and mine was a 14; so the fact that the eggs were not as fast growing shouldn't and hopefully won't be a problem! YEAH some better news right.
So you have to lay on the table and I mean it is a table with a thin pad about 1/2" that makes it look comfy (but it is not really that comfy) and your legs are in stirrups and not the kind you put your heels in the kind you have to put your legs in (so sexy)! We could see on the ultrasound monitor the eggs as they put them in, it was the coolest thing ever watching the eggs one by one fall into your uterus. So the way they fall also I guess somewhat dictates how well they will do and if they fall forward that is a really GREAT sign that the eggs are still good and just needed their natural home (ME) They took a picture of them once they were all put in and gave it to us, it is cool to see the specs on our photo! NOW WE WAIT!!!!!
