This 2ww is going to suck

I'm back to work today after laying in bed for 41 hours straight (minus the 7 short bathroom trips.) My head hurts, I'm tired, and I'm irritable. You'd think that I'd feel refreshed after "relaxing" the past two days. I just feel like I should still be at home, giving the little embryos the best chance at snuggling in. It just sucks to be back in the real world.

All set up with food, drinks, dvds, books, magazines, laptop, etc ... all ready to go!



Me and the kitties (Ignore the no shower look - I spent 41 hours in bed!)




Our little embryos (circled in red) and my huge bladder

2 little embryos have been transferred

After a stressful week of possibly canceling and having to keep increasing estrogen, we finally decided at 1pm yesterday to go forward with the transfer this morning. That led to a whole new stress, and honestly, I was a complete wreck this morning. Didn't sleep, threw up a few times, etc. And then the valium kicked in and I was happy again. :)

I was convinced that we'd get there and neither would have survived the thaw. I was wrong! We transferred in an expanding blast, and then a morula (also good, just not quite a blast yet.) Morula means mulberry in latin, which I liked for some reason.

The worst part of the whole thing was the urge to pee! I didn't have quite a full enough bladder last time so they had me start drinking water earlier today. I thought I was going to pee in the middle of it! Then they used a catheter to drain the bladder afterwards and that was such a wierd feeling. I didn't feel like I was peeing, yet the full bladder feeling was going away. Very odd!

So anyways, now I'm on bedrest with books, dvds, movies, snacks, drinks, and my laptop surrounding me. And we wait for 2 weeks!
