Embryo Transfer

On March 1st, 1993 a young mexican kid who can from immigrant parents was impressionable and still trying to figure out who he was and where he belonged asked a blonde haired girl from a middle class family who was somewhat sheltered and naive to be his girlfriend. It was innocent but yet so unexpected. They were extremly different and came from backgrounds that were so opposite!! What suprised everyone is that it blossumed into one of the most intense and loving relationships ever. And 16 years later on that exact date March 1st, 2009 that they had celebrated as their anniversary for so many years became even more special because 2 embryos that had been artifically matured were implanted in her on that same date. After six years of infertility and never knowing that their love had created anything on this date they knew that those 2 embryos were a symbol of their dedication and determination to each other and to their love. They gowned up and as they wheeled her into the operating room he kissed her hand and she silently said a prayer.

So we made it through embryo transfer. They implanted 2 very strong embryos who are very advanced in stage into my uterus. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Now bedrest and the long two week wait for our pregnancy test. I am so excited that we have completed one whole cycle of IVF. I am shocked that I actually did it and now I am here in bed waiting to see the results. Some say this is the most difficult part. I believe this because your mind wanders and you have so much time to think about it. Mario is taking great care of me. He barely lets me get up but my hips and killing me from the injections and not being able to move around. I have my embryos picture next to me and I keep telling myself that they are in there and trying to settle. My parents came yesterday and made me a huge basket of GOOD LUCK stuff like a shamrock plant and other goodies. I thought it was so special because when I was born in March my aunt and uncle brought my mom a shamrock plant for good luck and it still is in our front yard. My mom made us a yummy dinner and the Christina came today. It was so nice to have her in bed next to me talking and laughing together. She is truly a special friend that I feel so blessed to have in my life. Her stomach is starting to show from her baby boy that is brewing in her that I hope my children will be close to one day SOON!!! Mario's parents are on their way over right now so it has been nice to have company.
