We had to be at the clinic for 1.30 and at 11.30 the embryologist called to say it had thawed perfectly and was ready and just sitting waiting for me - at which point I burst into tears down the phone like a total lunatic!! But it's been a long process for us to finally get to this point so I was feeling a bit overwhelmed I think.
Cried again once I got there- lunatic!
Cried again once in the theatre room and got given a photo of our embryo to keep - triple lunatic.
I've not cried for ages about this, in fact my other half has joked that we should keep me on all the meds even when not doing ivf as he says I've been more balance on them than normal! Cheeky git. But he's right! ππ
So for all the tears today I felt like such a wally although obviously all the nurses were amazing! I think I just finally got a bit overwhelmed with it all and I still can't believe it's actually happened and after all the bumps in the road we have finally had our first (and hopefully only needed) embryo transferred. I was crying tears of pure happiness, joy, and mostly relief I think.
We officially started this process 10th October 2013 and we have only just now, today, had our first embryo transfer done. In the meantime I've had to have 5 different surgeries in preparation for this and then finally our ivf cycle, not without its own hiccups and postpones for more surgeries etc. So I can't express the joy and relief of getting to this point AT LAST!!!!!
Hahaha I was the same, I used to find myself rubbing my belly and talking to them as well ππ my other half used to laugh at me.....but then he'd do it as well!! π€£π xx
Thank you so much π I want to now let myself get really excited but at the same time I don't. Still torn with the emotions but time will tell!! I never thought this day would come so even if it doesn't work this time I feel better about everything anyway and moving forwards xxx
Oh wow you've been through a lot. Don't worry about the crying I'm sure they're used to it. I balled in front of my acupuncturist last week and he said it happens all the time π
Wishing you the best of luck for the 2ww and a positive outcome. We've got our frozen transfer on Friday at midday so just a couple of days behind you. Hope you're managing to relax and got some nice things planned xxx
Eeek how exciting!! Good luck with it!! It certainly is an experience ππ being laid up on the bed legs a Kimbo- face height of the poor doctor ππ as we were leaving the clinic and checking we had everything my other half said 'have you left anything?' To which I replied 'only my dignity in the theatre room' ππ
Haha I remember it from last time. Almost have to laugh as the whole thing is so serious in there, but how can it be with our legs like that!!! Will keep in touch!! Xx
Ah its an amazing feeling isn't. Getting all the way to that stage where it actually happens. Before we started treatment I was so naive to the process and just thought if you have IVF then its quite straight forward but as we learnt every cycle is different and if you get to transfer stage then thats an achievement in its self with everything that could potentially go wrong along the way!
Wishing you all the best for the 2WW. Try and stay happy and positiveπ« xx
Thank you so much! Yeah I think that's why I was crying so much! I just couldn't believe we were finally there! Crazy. It's been a particularly crazy couple of years and to finally be at this point is like OH MY GOD! We made it!! ππΌππ so fingers crossed it continues with a health pregnancy π€°πΌ I'll keep everyone updated xxx
Huge congratulations on getting over the hurdles and you know what rock those tears and panda eyes π πΌ
Welcome to the TWW, where your sanity will all but disappear!! Everything crossed for you xxx
