Shooting Stars

Hello, this is Gregg posting because Cymande is home without internet access due to technical difficulties. This post will be mostly free of IVF jargon because I don't really understand it, but let me start with some. We are PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise.)

Sunday, we arrived at 9 AM for the 3 day transfer. The Russian embryologist presented us with a photo of two grade A embryos that she described as 'textbook.' Our RE explained the procedure and we watched via ultrasound on the big screen. Catheter through the cervial os? Check. Embryos in the catheter? Check. Ready. Set. Go. There was a tiny flash of white microbubbles on the ultrasound and the embryologist exclaimed, "Shooting stars!" She examined the catheter for an embryo that didn't want to leave, but it was clear. So, two embryos in a nice warm uterus. This is the closest we have been to pregnant. Now we wait. We will post the photo as soon as our technical difficulties resolve. PUPO.
