Transferred today and I’m like… now what?

We officially transferred today!! It was our first FET with a day 5 4AA euploid embryo and overall everything went really smoothly. The only hiccup was that I apparently took the full bladder instructions a little too seriously and my bladder was too full and they had me release some before the transfer which was an experience.

I was so focused on getting to transfer day that now I’m sitting on my couch like… okay… now what do I do with myself?? It feels so weird that after all the appointments, meds, monitoring, injections, stressing about my lining, etc., the actual transfer happened so quickly and now there’s nothing left to do except take my meds and wait.

We also decided not to tell anyone the exact transfer date. Our close friends/family know we’re doing IVF and knew the transfer would be sometime around now, but they don’t know it was today. My 30th birthday is tomorrow and we have friends coming into town to celebrate this weekend, so it feels extra surreal knowing we’re carrying around this huge secret while everyone else is just celebrating my birthday lol.

I’m not really looking for tips or advice, I think I just needed somewhere to share because I don’t really have anyone else I can talk to about the fact that it actually happened today. I’m excited, hopeful, nervous, emotional, and also kind of just sitting here like… wow that actually just happened.
