So I'm spread legged on the bed, got the speculum inside, got the tube thingy inside my cervix where they shoot the embryo in or whatever they do, Leigh's next to me all excited, nurse is on standby watching and the embryologist is there ready to hand over the embryo....and my cute little Chinese ivf doctor's mobile phone goes off....and this is the tune:
We ALL laughed....Leigh especially. He said to the doctor he never envisioned a Sergio Leone movie as the background to his first child being properly conceived....but somehow it fits! That song will NEVER be the same again.
that's funny! My older brother actually saw Ennio Morricone the other night in concert who composed that song. Best of luck Ziggy, your embryo looks just like you.

Everything with that embryo was fine. It looks exactly as it should...but is a little elongated. The other embryo isn't quite as good as this one but they are giving it another day and should freeze it tomorrow. The third didn't even divide so is useless.
Now I wait until 2 April for my pregnancy test. Come on little baby! STICK...!!!
So cute! I'm glad to hear things went well. I hope the little guy nestles down and makes a nice home in your uterus Good luck!

I'm wondering - did the doctors inject only ( 1 ) embryo or were (3) put in ???
Only one. Australian standards advise against multiple embryos for first timers under 35. They don't want twins....increases pregnancy risks too much. And it doesn't increase pregnancy rates. Two embryos don't equal higher chance of pregnancy. If I realllly wanted to I could have implanted more...ultimately it was my decision....but I'd feel forever guilty if I went against their advice and something bad happened to my baby. So just implanted one embryo.

I understand...
my friend who did this had (3) implanted, thats the max. She lost one and did carry twins to term. The Boys are now 5 yrs old.
soo if my math is correct you'll be in your 8/9th months during your summer? let me know how that works out for ya. :?
She'll be just fine! That's a great time to have a newborn! No snow and cold and ice to drag the little peanut through for those frequent well baby visits! Maxi dresses and sandals for swollen feet! She'll be all good
And Ziggy, my two embryos 'stuck' the first time and are now raising hell in my living room! I have very positive thoughts for you. :thumbup: :thumbup: :-D

Take it easy for a few days to really give it the best chance of getting settled in!!
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
However....I found out the reason I had TEN follicles (eggs sacs) but they only got FIVE eggs.
ONE OF MY MOTHERFUCKING OVARIES DECIDED TO HIDE BEHIND MY UTERUS THAT DAY!!!!! :x :x :x :x :x :x
They tried everything to manipulate my body so it would move but it wouldn't budge. I feel so much anger about it. I'm trying to let it go....anger not good right now. What should have been a nice moment of getting implanted was me spread legged on the bed looking at my bf with a "you wouldn't FUCKING believe it!!!" look and him giving me the "settle down, it's okay" look. haha
You just go through sooo much....$8500 for this one cycle, stress, pain, worry, needles, constant anxiety, heaps of other shit....and everything worked perfectly for the entire treatment process....which after 9 months of failure on Clomid was so nice....and to find that I could have had MORE eggs for future ivf cycles FUCKING PISSES ME OFF!!!
So now I possibly MAY have another embryo for my next baby/another go at this baby -- if the embryo develops enough....or there's also a fucking chance I'll be going through ALL this again in the near future....because that fucking ovary decided to move on that one important day.
Trying to let the anger go....but I'm struggling. Just pisses me off. *thinks happy thoughts*
no anger zig... an embryo is growing inside you... she needs you calm, happy and optimistic.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
