The waiting game

I went back to Taichung about 2 weeks ago for my FET. I went back to the hospital on my Day 11 and was given a bunch of meds, PIO injections and Crinone gel that I needed for my FET. This is my very first FET and my second embryo transfer and I was kinda shocked that I still needed that much medicine, in addition to Progesterone that I had to inject through my butt. I didn't want to go to the hospital on a daily basis just for the injections so I forced my husband to do the injecting for me. He was totally terrified at the thought of poking a huge needle into my butt but he really didn't have a choice.

Day 18, I went back to the hospital for the embryo transfer. We were asked to be in the hospital by 8am. I went straight to the injection room for 3 injections then paid for the procedure, which was a total of 50,000NTD. I then had my ultrasound done, and my lining was at 1.0cm which was good. Also had some blood tests done before staying in the VIP room to wait for my turn.

One thing that was totally different from my first embryo transfer in Mackay was there was a massage right before the procedure. It was a short back massage, maybe around 30 minutes long but it was just something I didn't expect. It felt good though and made relax a little.

After the massage, I found myself waiting in the VIP room again. I was called and was led to the operating room. There were a total of 3 women, including myself in the room. I was the last one of the three. It was a little weird that when the procedure started, Chinese-sounding instrumental music was played as Dr. Lee would do each of the transfer. At this point, I must tell you that I only they were only transferring my one and only embryo, which was not the best quality. Dr. Lee told us that he's looking at a 30% chance of pregnancy given the grade of the embryo that we had. Of course, we were sad that we didn't have a better embryo but I am relieved that it has normal chromosomes, based on the PGS they did.

Today is Day 5 post transfer. I sit in my hotel room wondering what God has in store for me. It is also a Sunday and I was able to catch the livestream of CCF's praise and worship today. It's all about Jesus being our shepherd and how we are completely helpless without Him. We have to trust in Him and depend on Him for everything that we do and we are. Whatever happens, I just know that He has a plan for me.
