We left the house at about 6:10, and made it in plenty of time for the 6:30 check in time. Lady L and J were there when we arrived. We went up to the designated floor, and Lady L and J went in to begin. We were invited in a few minutes later, and got changed into scrubs. There was some down time while Lady L waited for the Valium to kick in (and it did:)). We had a nice chat about the process, how thing have been going to far, and life in general. No awkwardness or anything weird. At about 8:00, they came to wheel lady L to the pre-op area, while her bladder filled even more. At 8:00, we got to the procedure area, and met with our team. The lab lady came in and informed us that both embryos in Tank A survived the thaw, so we still have two to use or donate in the future. We were happy they both survived. All 4 us of were able to watch the transfer, and the ultrasound was very clear. We saw the precious cargo exit the catheter and land in the correct, designated area. I got a little emotional, unexpectedly, but it was just so amazing to see. And it's just so amazing that we are where we are now.
Afterward, Lady L had to hang out on the bed for an hour, and after chatting about the experience, we came home. We have been looking forward to this day for so long now, we are in awe that everything went so well.
Next step, the official blood tests results from the clinic will be in on April 5th, not 6th as I had thought earlier. We are hoping that these next 2 weeks fly by, and of course you know what we are praying for ultimately.
Thanks so much for you prayers, your love, your friendship, and your support.
