Well, the first test of, possible, four pregnancy tests was Thursday October 22, 2009.
I went in for the 10 minute appointment.
It is amazing how much, on the clinic side, I do not know. They continue to act as though this is the intended mom's baby, and it is, but they forget that it is my pregnancy. I have not been pregnant this way before. I have been pregnant twice but both times it was all God and His natural way. This way, needing the doctors and many medicines to make it happen, leaves me with a lot of questions.
They called her and told her I was pregnant and what I am to do next. Shouldn't they tell me also????
The women that have been in this for a time, know what is needed and when and how. Just like the time I went to learn about my first medicine, when the nurse explained to the intended mother "this is the same protocal as last time", possibly not realizing that this is the first time for me. I have never had no "Protocal" for getting pregnant other than "Baby Dancing". I need to know what to do so that I don't mess this up. I need to know why and when I am doing things. I need to know when I can start doing the things I used to. There are restictions on my physical activities, low excercise...
I just need the clinic to include me in the information. Am I asking to much????

Embryo Transfer
Yesterday was the day!
Yesterday was a day of events. It was pouring down rain and traffic moved at 45 MPH on the intestate that normally runs around 70 MPH. I was ealry and had already drank 96 oz. of water to insure a FULL bladder. The intended nother was a couple of minutes early.
We were lead into a room connected to the lab where the embryo had be kept for several months. I, of course, had the honor of "disrobing" from the waist down. While while in the rest/undressing room I overheard that there was a problem with some of the paperwork. AAAHHH! "If we can't resolve this the transfer can't happen." Here I was half undressed, having been on several medicines, some for a month, tested physically and metally, signed away my rights, and now this might not happed.
The clinic decided they would move ahead. They fixed it and the transfer could go forward.
The procedure was flawless. The embryo perfect and my uterus "pretty" and one the the best they had seen in a long time. I got to see the transfer on the screen, with the translation by the ultrasound tech. It lasted all of a few minutes and after five minutes of laying still I was allowed to use the restroom for what it was intended and put my clothes back on. I was given instructions to "take it easy" for the next ten days until the pregnancy test and we know if it stuck.
I was told I cannot pee, cough, sneeze or laugh the emryo out. That of course did not stop the panic attack I had last night. But, after a good nights sleep I feel better. I am a little light headed this morning, but will blame it on change in medicines, and that changing my hormones.
Please pray for these nest two weeks to go quickly and blessed.
