sitting, waiting, praying....

17th March - Egg collection day!

I was so nervous, Mike had to go in first and if they could find some sperm I'd go down after. Mike was so calm. I sat in my gown nervously waiting, then Doctor Nick stuck his head around the curtain, he looked at me for a while then a huge smile came on his face and he said 'Easy!... you're next!'
When I woke up we were told that they had 5 eggs, I thought that was good until I heard them saying that the other lady had 7 eggs and another had 9... but I only needed 2 so 5 was still a result.

18th March
It was a restless night, praying that the two would fuse and we would have some good embryos, Mike got the call that we had 4 embryos.. YAY!!

19th March - Embryo transfer day!

The sun was shining and I had a feeling it was going to be a really beautiful day. I was so relaxed and not at all nervous, Doctor Nick was looking very happy. We were told that only 2 embryos had survived but the 2 that had, one was a grade one and one was a good grade two, Dr Nick said that he was really worried when I only had 5 eggs but was amazed by the results. We were shown a picture of them on the screen, I named them bubble and squeak. The transfer was amazing, I could watch it on the monitor and we saw the embryos disappear...' in the bulls eye' as Dr Nick said.
I left the hospital feeling like a little mirracle had just happened.

2 week wait

Now all I can do is wait and pray that implantation takes place and that Bubble and Squeak grow into 2 healthy babies .......
