the big day-- part 1

well, tomorrow is the frozen transfer.
i wonder if i'll get any sleep tonight.
i decided to take the rest of the week off work. my doctor doesn't think it helps, but i just have to know i've done everything i possibly could to make this work. (it's probably our last chance.) i have an acupuncture appointment for 10:30 in the morning and the transfer is at 1 o'clock.
i'm so anxious. i can't wait to hear how many have survived all this and are ready to transfer. and the nurse said that since they are 5 day blasts the pregnancy test will be nine days later (instead of the usual 2ww.) wow!
wish us luck, a grand design, and lots of baby dust.

well, aside from the fact that they called me at 9:30 this morning to push my transfer time from 1:30 to 3:30, everything went swimmingly. all four blasts survived, and one didn't even need assisted hatching because it started hatching on its own. that's the best quality one. then there's one that's good quality. one that's okay, and one that's not so good.
the most shocking thing is that my pregnancy test is monday!! how'd that happen?
i asked them several times just to be sure and, yep, it's monday, the 26th!!
they said that the "window of implantation" was anywhere from 12-72 hours. i guess that means that if it hasn't happened by saturday night, it ain't gonna' happen.
i'm so excited!!! hopefully i won't have enough time to feel much of anything else before monday. we'll see.  :-)
