Transfer complete!

Currently there is a tiny little blastocyst floating around in my uterus, hopefully making itself at home and settling in for the next 9+ months! I had the transfer on Tuesday at around 9:30am. Seven of the eleven eggs that fertilized made it to the five day blastocyst stage, and since Dr. M. thought their quality was good enough, he decided to implant only one and save me the stress of having to consider reduction if he put in two and both embryos took. Of course the chance of getting pregnant with a single embryo transfer is lower than with two, but I think it was the best choice for me given my health concerns. I return to Dr. M's office on February 28th for a pregnancy test (crossing my fingers that it's positive!). Until then, I'll try to stay relaxed but keep my mind occupied so as not to go crazy from the anticipation! It's gonna be a looong week :)

PS: I've added an ultrasound image showing the embryo being placed in my uterus. See that tiny little dot? That's the baby! And this is the very first baby picture!
