FET Day was yesterday/Mixed Emotions

Jena

Hey all, so today was my FET and I felt super excited and nervous at the same time. As I was laying down, the doctors asked me if I was ready. They put the clamp in and then the embryologist came in with the embryo inside of the catheter. The room was so quiet. They faced the monitor towards me so I can view the process of my transfer. I felt so emotional when they pointed out the embryo inside my uterus. I thought it was so beautiful I nearly cried. The nurse printed out the sonogram with our little embryo. I waited till they left the room and bawled my eyes out. I felt a combo of mixed emotions. I felt worried, happy, excited and anxious. The moment they transferred that frozen embryo into my uterus I felt like a mom again. Like...reality just set in. When they gave me that sonogram photo....emotionally I felt attached, I fell in love with something that hasn’t taken complete form. I fell in love with a small dot that is in the process of becoming a sweet baby. For me, this is the rough part of the <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> journey. I call this chapter “ The Waiting Game”. I have to wait about 8 days for a pregnancy test. This is hard because you don’t know if it’s safe to feel excited. But through this journey all I can do is trust God and know that he has the perfect plan. To all of you who are struggling in your thoughts and can’t find peace know that a God is in control. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
