It was such an awesome experience for me and DH.
Out of our 6 fertilized embies, 5 were 8 cell and 1 was a 4 cell. I forgot to ask about the grading, but the RE said they were great, with very little fragmentation, so I guess that's good. We transferred 2 and the rest were frozen.
DH laughed about his "radioactive" suit, as he called it. It was funny, because he's so tall and that suit was meant for a guy a wee bit shorter. He kept pulling at his crotch. lol.
Anyway, in the sterile room, it was so cool to see a large flat screen with a picture of the 2 embies on it. They guided them in with the ultrasound, and the RE talked us through every little step, so watching it happen was..wow, just something.
We had two REs in there and they gave us hugs when it was over, so that was cool. It was a two hour drive back home, so I stopped off at my acupuncturist to give these little guys every chance I could.
Now I'm home in bed being lazy while DH cleans the litterboxes. I think it's a fair trade.
Now, about this 2ww thing...

I'm not in CA. Sorry about the AE, I changed my real SN about 2 years ago when I was on the Nest, but someone on the Knot "recognized" me and was talking about how cool it was that I was a nestie and she watched me on tv. Yeah, little freaked about that.
