Ok, I like to be a positive person and donβt dwell too much on the bad news so Iβll get this bit over with quickly - unfortunately only one of our embryos made it to blastocyst so we havenβt got any to freeze which was upsetting BUT weβre just telling ourselves that this little moonbeam that we had transferred was a strong one to cling on until day five and that hopefully means itβll cling on to my womb lining too ππ
So, embryo transfer eh?! If anyone ever wants to torture me for information (and I really hope none of you do) just make me drink a sh*t load of water and then donβt let me go for a wee. I knew I had a small bladder and I go for a million wees a day but OH MY GOSH it was unbearable! Thankfully the sonographer could see I was struggling so she told me to go and let a bit of wee out before the procedure (I was totally proud of myself for having that kind of control by the way). Once Iβd been for my mini-wee we went into the transfer room and the embryologist came and gave us a lovely little silver box which had a lovely little silver USB in it with a lovely little time-lapse of our embryo growing on it, it melted my heart π After that it was knickers off, legs apart, and stick a baby up my chuff, simple as that. I really canβt believe how straight forward it was? I honestly think the wee that I had afterwards lasted longer than the transfer took (seriously, I thought it would never end, it was quite impressive now I think of it).
Anyway, itβs only been two and a bit days and this two week wait malarkey is already driving me INSANE! Was that a twinge? Are my boobs sore? Can I feel tugging or is it just the way Iβm sat? Am I more tired than usual or is it just because Iβve been back in work today after lazing around for six weeks? I feel like Iβve been willing myself to have symptoms, I even made my boyfriend check the colour of my nipples to see what his opinion was (FYI - he thinks they do look a bit darker). In all honesty though I think Iβve been symptom-free so far but given I only had the transfer on Saturday dinner time Iβm telling myself thatβs normal?
Please keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer for us and I promise to do the same for all of you!π€πΌππ»π€πΌππ»
Sending lots of love and positive vibes to you all ππ xxx

Love your message and explanation of the transfer, totally spot on! For my first transfer the consultant made me get off the table as I hadn't drunk enough water, so embarrassing!for the second I over compensated and drank loads I had a different consultant, he didn't even use ultrasound so didn't need all the water and I was bursting! Fingers are crossed for you for a positive result! I think a lot of us can relates so much to your message! X
You are hilarious! I can totally relate to embryo transfer being the worst bit. I cried - not because of pain or emotion of the process, but because I've never needed a wee so much in my entire life! That's amazing about the USB! I have USB envy! All of my extremeties are crossed that the little moon is really comfy in there! X
You do make me chuckle. You need to write a book lol
Im wishing you all the luck in the world for little embie to stay put. I didn't get any symptoms in my 2ww so dont feel negative about it you don't. Im 11 weeks.
Try your hardest not to give in to temptation and test early. I managed it, but it was bloody hard π
