We have a blastocyst on board! Meet Olaf. :)
Surprisingly, it looked very different to this picture when we saw it on the live screen before transfer. Even though it was tiny, I could see a really clear Inner Cell Mass - whereas on this image, I don't see it clearly at all. I'm assuming that this image was captured a little earlier in the day and that it had continued growing up until the transfer time, which I hope is a good thing.
It was a nice experience, except for the part where my cervix decided to disappear and play hard to get. We had a different doctor this time around doing the transfer who was lovely, and I think I'll request him for future transfers. It took him six (!) attempts with a speculum to get the ball rolling, but he was very gentle and very thorough.... and most of all, very kind.
Come on Olaf, lucky #8! Please stick. Please, please, please. Let this be a magical start to 2016. :)
Jujujujuju!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Olaf! You have strict instructions to be VERY STICKY and to STICK AROUND FOR 9 MORE MONTHS!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely little thing. Stick good, Olaf!
ReplyDeleteEverything crossed! Stick, Olaf, stick!
ReplyDeleteTeamOlaf!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, speculums are one of my very worst nightmares. Ever. (TMI ALERT! I am extra tiny down there and they have to use pediatric ones and I still cannot handle it. I generally take valium before every appointment because otherwise I will easily have a full-fledged panic attack right there on the table. Ugh.)

ReplyDeleteSending extra sticky, boring, healthy through to a safe delivery vibes your way!
