1DP5DT

That means 1 day past 5 day transfer. I just got my call from the embryologist and he said we had 2 embryos that weren't looking as good yesterday, but kind of developed a lot overnight and were good to freeze!!! He asked how I was feeling today and I told him I've been very tired, crampy, and had just a bit of spotting this morning and he said those are all fabulous things and could mean the embryos are implanting! He told me some long scientific explanation that often when embryos start to implant your body has an almost allergic reaction to them and that can make you very tired. The body sees them as parasites digging in until they start producing HCG in your system. I kind of stopped listening somewhere around, "well, honestly now I'm kind of concerned that we put both back. Dr. G. hates twins." First of all, I had to laugh because those were the exact last words we heard from Dr. G yesterday. He said, "I hope this works. I believe it will, but, no twins. I hate twins." It's very odd for a doctor in this specialty to hate multiple pregnancies so much. It just cracks me up to hear him say it in his thick German accent. And then you have the embryologist that is so soft spoken and really just wants a good outcome for everyone. You can tell he truly loves his job and this is his calling in life.

So that's all I've got for today. It's going to be a looonnng wait to see if this worked!
