The transfer itself went quickly and smoothly and my husband and I were able to go to out for breakfast immediately afterwards. The last time I had a transfer I was required to be on bed rest for two days after the transfer, but they have since relaxed the rules because research indicates that bed rest can cause more stress and some activity can increase blood flow to the uterus.
If you spend any time perusing infertility/IVF forums, you will see the term PUPO, as related to the two week wait after an embryo transfer. PUPO is an acronym for pregnant until proven otherwise and it's one that I've decided to embrace during this two week wait. I'm going to try to take good care of myself and stay positive.
I'm sure it will help that my husband and I leave for West Palm Beach, Florida on Thursday until Tuesday for a rugby tournament. I'm hoping the warmth and sunshine will decrease my stress levels and keep my mind off pregnancy results. I'm also hoping to have another acupuncture session in the next couple days because it's supposed to help with implantation and stress relief.
Below is a picture of my two embryos. Let's just hope and pray one or both of them decide to stick around!
