Our Transfer Date is Scheduled for
September 23, 2016 @ 5:00p
"We have embryos and soon they will be in the uterus" this sounds so weird coming out of my mouth. Only because we have never been to this point on our own and it's really hard to believe that this is happening for us. But it's reality and we are so excited to do this transfer.
So the process officially started today September 1st which means in only 22 days transfer happens. To get started I had a baseline ultrasound and blood draw today. The ultrasound checked the lining of the uterus and made sure that it was thinned out which it was. The blood draw was to check my estrogen levels which are normal. We paid for the Frozen Embryo Transfer and turned in more consent forms.
The FET consists of mulitple injections of Estradiol Valerate every Friday and Tuesday starting tomorrow until the doctor says to stop. Which is followed by a blood draw on Sept 8th and another blood draw and ultrasound on Sept. 15th to check and make sure the lining of the uterus is looking good for the transfer. If the lining looks good then I will start another injection on Sept. 18th called Progesterone Oil and I'll take that everyday from that day on until they the doctor says to stop. On the Sept. 19th I'll start another Z-pack for five days and have another blood draw. Sept. 20th I'll start a medication called Medrol twice a day for four days. Then Finally the Big Day September 23rd Transfer day on this day they will have thawed & prepped our embryos and will transfer them back into my uterus their new home and I'll start progesterone suppository's that day and everyday until they say to stop.
Then the 3 days following the transfer of our embryos I will have my PRINCESS Days meaning I will be on bed rest and get to relax and do nothing for those days. Jeremy and I will set up our downstairs like a retreat (Just Kidding) but we'll make it comfy for me to spend the next three days there and he will be in charge of everything including dinner Awe! (Just Kidding again) He will try his best.
After my Princess Days we will have a two week wait they say its the hardest two weeks ever because after the two weeks we will know if our embryos took and if we are pregnant. We plan on staying as busy as possible to make the two week wait less stressful and easier. Like we have mentioned before we haven't yet decided if we will be sharing our results right away. This is so scary and exciting for us and we just want to do whats best for us during this very important time in our life. We are so grateful that we have so much support and prayers. When our embryos turn into babies they will have so many people who will love them and can't wait to meet them. We are so excited for the day to come where everyone will be able to meet the baby/babies you all prayed for and helped us have.
This is it!!! Here we go!!! Please Keep us in your prayers that our embryos will stick and grow into healthy babies and that it will be our turn finally to bring a beautiful child into this world and become Parents.
God Bless all of you thank you so much for following and taking this journey with us. We are truly blessed with so many amazing people in our lives. We love and appercaite every one of you.
With Love The Graham Family
