The children were nestled, all snug in their beds

And by children...I mean we transferred 2 of the most beautiful 5 day blastocysts. They are now resting, nestling quietly in my uterus.

We got up early this morning and caught the train to Czech. It was a 2 hour, nice smooth quiet ride. Beautiful country side. I saw fields and fields of sun flowers. I didn't take any pictures tho, we were all too busy talking.

Upon arrival, we stopped an grab some delicious Kebab...don't let the picture scare you...its so yummy.Then we hopped on the tram and headed to the clinic. This is the front enterance to the building.
Inside there are a few different kinds of medical offices. Plastic surgery, oral surgery and Reprofit, our clinic. (which took up 2 floors)

We signed in. The Dr sat down with the 3 of us and went over the embryo's. Out of 63 eggs, they got 32 embryo's. (I know, I'm working with Super Woman) On day 5 she still had 29 embryo's. 4 grade 1, 5 grade 2 and I'm not sure, he just said the other 20 were very good too. (Wasn't exactly speaking my language) All I know is, the Dr was very optimistic. He gave us a 60% chance of it working. I'm hoping luck is on our side.

I was very impressed with the clinic and the staff. It was very nice inside. The staff were all very nice and helpful. Though, only the Dr spoke english.

After meeting with the Dr, we went to the procedure room. I dropped my drawers and got into postions. (no photo's...sorry to disappoint)

The embryologist, was in the next room and showed us the 2 embryo's we were going to transfer, on a screen in our room. Then the nurse used the ultrasound wand to find my uterus. Dr said my lining was like a cushion (Go ME!!!) And the embryologist came in with the goods. We watched the dr place them where he wanted them and VOILA!!!!
I must say...very different from any other conception I've been a part of.

I had to lay flat on my back for a few minutes, then I got up and got dressed. It didn't hurt at all. Felt very similar to a pap smear.

We caught the train back to Vienna and I've been laying around ever since. Dr advised me to "take it easy" aka, bedrest, for 1-2 days.
The clinic gave me this as a parting gift. The dr said I'll know in 13-15 days...but who is he kidding...I'll be peeing on a stick in about a week.
