It is 10am now so I'm quite confident that everything is fine and the transfer will take place.
As of about 12:40pm I am officially PUPO!! That means pregnant until proven otherwise, haha. Today it went very quick, we arrived just before 12, had a little talk with a nurse who gave me some paperwork and two home pregnancy tests. A little wait in the waiting room with full bladder, hoping for a quick procedure and then going to toilet. All good, another nurse took us both through to the procedure room/mini theatre and sat us down again. Embryologist came and told us news about our embryos. She knew we originally wanted just one put back in but based on the quality of our embryos, she recommended to put 2 back in. On day 5, embryos should be in the stage of blastocyst, no visible cells, just nice little circle. Our embryos were a bit behind, they were compacting morulas, which is normally a stage of development on day 4. That's why they think the pregnancy has more chances with two embryos in without too big risk of having twins.
The transfer itself took just a few minutes and was performed by the same doctor who did my egg collection. I wasn't happy about it as I developed quite strong antipathy for her but this time she was considerably gentler. Maybe because Rick was sitting next to me. We could see everything on the ultrasound monitor but there is not much to it anyway. I kind of thought that I would feel different after, a bit more pregnant if not anything else but no. I feel exactly the same as I did in the morning or yesterday or last week. Hopefully it comes later.
Now we have to wait 10 days (today is day 5, pregnancy test is done on day 15) till we find out whether it worked. Fingers crossed.
