"She Works Hard For Her Babies..."

As I'm writing this right now I'm on bed rest with two embryos floating around in my uterus...yea!!!  The implantation went very smoothly this morning.  My nerves were the worst part, by far.  I was awake for the whole thing, which I was sort of freaked out about, but then come to find out, it doesn't hurt at all.  It's just like an annual exam...except the bed you're laying in is tipped almost completely upside down!  Between the ultrasound guy pushing on my belly (with a very full bladder...ouch!) and being tipped so far back that all the blood was rushing to my head, I think it went pretty well.  There was music playing in the procedure room (I thought this only happened on ER and Grey's Anatomy!) and as the doctor was doing his thing down there the Donna Summers song 'She Works Hard For the Money' came on...I was singing it to myself as my future children were being placed in my uterus, and changed the lyrics to "she works hard for her babies..."...I told you infertility is making me lose my mind! ;) 

The doctor met with us before the procedure and showed us the picture of the two embryos that were doing the best -- which is the picture in this blog(!!).  He said they look for embryos between 6-8 cells to implant and the two they implanted are 8 and 7 cells, so things are looking good!  They'll freeze the others if they develop more over the next week (they were only 5, 5, and 4 cells so far).  Adam, aka Mr. Statistics, wanted to know what the percentages of all this working out are.  The doctor said there's no way to tell with me specifically, but said overall, anyone under 35 has a 50-55% success rate.  He said this number decreases to only 15% if you're over 35...so to everyone that said I was 'too young' to be doing this...HA.  ;)  AND...he mentioned that there's a 25% chance of both taking and having twins. As Adam put it, that's like betting the middle third on the roulette table, or how many times pocket aces will get beat in poker.  Only my husband would compare our chances of getting pregnant to a night in Vegas.  ;) 

Bed rest is going well...it's been about 3 hours and I'm bored out of my mind!  I don't really mind bossing my husband around though - that I could get used to ;)  

So for now it's just waiting for May 2nd to roll around.  If that test turns out positive (crossing fingers, toes, and anything else that can possibly cross), we'll go back a week or two later to find out if it's one or twins!  Of course, Adam thinks without a doubt it'll be twins...then again, he loves to gamble and he always thinks he'll be a winner. ;)
