Embryo Transfer

Ok, I am all back from my whirlwind morning. I had acupuncture at 10, embryo transfer at 11 and then another acupuncture session at 12. I am feeling good and hopeful. The transfer itself was really simple, took perhaps 2minutes. Basically they did an external ultrasound just to check how my uterus was laying (they wanted it basically in a straight line so its easier to get the catheter in). They then went over the embryo report. We had 3 grade 1 blastocysts, 1 grade 1 early blast, and 1 grade 1 morula. The remaining ones were still slow to grow and not good candidates for freezing. They double checked that I want to transfer 2 and that I wanted to freeze the other 3. Tomorrow they will be freezing the 3 that I didn't use giving us a good option for our next attempt. After we told them we want 2 placed back, it was "load and go" time. They loaded the 2 best ones (pictured below) into a catheter and inserted it into my uterus. They were watching the catheter progress on the ultrasound until it was near the back of the uterus. They then injected the embryos out and you could see two little flashes of light on the screen. They then double checked the catheter to make sure that both were inserted and I was done.
