All aboard!

Our embies are finally out of the freezer and where they belong.  My RE explained that the top one had bounced back and expanded already after the thaw and the one at the bottom was still compacted.  I'm not sure exactly what this means for them, but he didn't seem concerned.  I apparently still don't have the full bladder thing down yet.  I drank a lot of water, but I had also eaten since our transfer was mid-day, so it took a few extra minutes while I drank some more and we waited for my kidneys to do their thing.  They ended up cooperating.


The only other hiccup was after the transfer, the nurse asked me if I wanted to empty my bladder and I said yes.  She promptly assaulted me with a catheter, which was horrific going in, during the emptying, and then again coming out.  Then she instructed me to keep pushing liquids to help keep a UTI at bay, since they couldn't use betadyne or give me anything.  Won't make that mistake again, I would have rather wet my pants.  Chilling out on bedrest for the rest of the day.  Beta is next Friday, May 6th. :)
