First, I have to say that I did one of the most bonehead things EVER before going to the appointment. I knew that I had to drink 24 oz of water before I arrived, but after taking 2 valium (because I felt that 1 wouldn't be enough), I had a difficult time making good decisions. So, I drank two 16 ounce bottles of water instead. *sigh*
I told the nurse that I had to relieve myself before I exploded, she told me to go ahead and count to 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi, 3 mississippi... then hold. So I did that. No problem! Then I felt like I had to compensate for the missing pee by drinking three more bottles of water.
Ok?
Screw Mississippi. I had to piss soooo bad that the doctor had to stop the entire transfer to let me go 3 Mississippi before I exploded. I couldn't even walk... I was in SOOO much pain. I counted to maybe 4 or 5 and prayed that I would make it the rest of the procedure.
Ok, so if you've been through a ton of ultrasounds, you kind of know what's what. I remember looking at the screen and noticing that my bladder looked like a huge hot air balloon on it's side, so every time the dr tried to insert the speculum, I wanted to scream.
Unfortunately, the entire transfer experience was excruciating because I wanted to over compensate for not having exactly 24 ounces of water in my bladder. So I suggest those of you going in to your transfer, make sure you don't drink too much water. They can see your uterus JUST FINE without 64 ounces. Like dh said... I had a 40 plus a Tall Boy in my bladder. xD
PUPO
I was told before the transfer (I think, because I was totally LOADED from my one extra valium) that I had 5 embies, and the 3 best embies were grade 2 at 6-8 cells. The other two were going to be checked to see if they would make it to 5 days, and if so, then they would be frozen. I'll find out tomorrow if we will have frosties!
We were given the option to cancel our implant and wait to see if our 3 day embies made it to 5 day blasts, but then we ran the risk of losing all of them. So we decide to proceed with our transfer of 3 day embies. We were warned that we could have twins or triplets! I'm praying at least one of those little guys makes it.
Bed-rest, Movies & Bean Burrito
For the rest of the day, I was still in lots of pain. Not sure if it was from the actual transfer, irritated bladder, pain from the retrieval, or all of the above, but I was just totally uncomfortable. Not to mention BLOATED. I seriously look 5 months pregnant already. I kept pushing on my belly like "What is THIS!?" So naturally I thought the best thing to eat was a bean burrito. God, that valium must have controlled my brain longer than I had thought. That room was seriously flammable.
I stayed in bed and watched Puss in Boots (OoOoOOh!), Kung Foo Panda 2 and Final Destination 5. That helped so much to keep my mind off of things. I didn't fall asleep until 2am and had the weirdest dreams. Like I beat up an old lady for taking my parking space. :0/

Still feeling some pain, cramping and I'm really uncomfortable. Not to mention that the PIO shots seriously SUCK... And I still look 5 months pregnant. Maybe I should just get used to looking like this.
I hope so... :)
