Day 11. SUH-WEET NEWS!!!

i have to say that yesterday and today has been really overwhelming.  i went to my appointment really expecting for the ARNP to say that she has found more polyps, and the ones that had formed since my surgery in january had grown so much that we couldn't continue with this procedure.  i was soo afraid of that...but once she saw everything on the monitor, she said everything looked good.  YAAAY!!!  the saline sonogram itself was not as painful as i had imagined.  the vaginal probe is clearly NEVER fun, and the saline injected into my uterus WAS very uncomfortable, but tolerable.  but then she had to do what they call a "trial transfer", which is basically a test trial of how they will do the embryo transfer in a few weeks.  A soft catheter is threaded all the way up through the uterine cavity to map the cervix and the uterus--to ensure a smooth embryo transfer at the end of the IVF cycle.  so, i got both of those things out of the way in one trip!  here's the fun probe & monitor for those of you who are lucky enough not to have had the pleasure!

i'm sorry i didn't get this posted yesterday!  the closer we get to halloween, the more hectic things become.  thank you all sooo incredibly much for the txt's/emails/phone calls checking on me afterwards yesterday.  i was so apprehensive about the potential news, that i was extremely relieved when i left--minus all the uncomfortable"ness" of it all.  i really really really appreciate the prayers--please keep 'em coming!!!  i have the most amazing family and friends, of which i'm soo incredibly thankful for--you have no idea.  your kind words, txt's, & hugs are helping to keep my glass half full in this overwhelming situation!!!
