MOST HORRIFIC EMBRYO TRANSFER EVER

Same doc has done the last three, and has always found it a bit of fidgety job, so when I realised it was a dif doc yesterday, I was quite chuffed. (Don't want to name names - but it was the top banana!)

Anyway, I told doc that I've needed the longer speculum, as 1st doc said I had a long cervix, that was fine. After two attempts, two examinations, one including proding my belly at the same time, which almost made me pee, the doc asked the nurse for an implement. She handed it to doc, and came round to the side of the bed and took hold of my arm, stroked my arm and told me it might nip.

NIP holy cr*p!! Apparently it was pinching a bit of my skin out of the way to make it easier to get the catheter up!! Dh was holding one hand and the nurse was holding the other, with me repeating, oh god, oh god oh god!! Nurse asked how my bladder was, I told her it was full, so doc told me to go to the loo. Caught sight of myself in the mirror, I was totally purple!! So, same again when I went back, with doc apologising saying fourth time lucky, and, it's a bit barbaric!! Not so painful second time round, but still major discomfort.

So, two embies on board, and hopefully 2nd doc has done something 1st doc should have done, and I sincerely hope after all that (nearly 25 mins of poking and proding) we get our BFP!!
