Getting ready to meet the embies tomorrow

We're going in for the transfer tomorrow.  I've relaxed all day.  Am going for acupuncture before and after the transfer.  3 eggs fertilized and we're transferring all 4.  I'm 42, so they recommend we do all four.  Inhale, exhale, visualize...ahhh....

It's such a mixed emotional bag...looking forward to it, but don't want to get too attached, but don't want to be completely detached either...you know?  And at my clinic, they hand you a photograph of the embies as you are lying on the table.

I meant to say that 7 were retrieved, 3 did not fertilize, and 4 did fertilize!

Thanks for the good wishes!

not sure how you got 4 embies from 3 eggs....
but good luck and just try to relax.
the acupuncture was definitely helpful for me to relax and since my first IVF worked, maybe that helped too :)
good luck!
