Post transfer update!

Transfer went perfectly. They thawed two embryos since we have a surplus just in case one didn't survive the thawing process. The dr said we had the option of putting both back in but it increases the odds of twins too much for chad and I to be comfortable with given my small uterus. His advice was to go for one. At first I was torn to be honest. I thought they would have to throw the 2nd one out if we chose to go w/just one but thankfully they can re-freeze them. Don't know how much that'll cost me but I want every embryo to have a full chance at life if I can help it. 
We put back the one which the doctor said was of excellent quality. He gave us science specifics about the "grade" but it didn't make any sense to me and I can't relay it anyhoo. Odds are in our favor for that little sucker to implant. The "shell" looked like he wanted it to. 
The sonogram pic has a bright flash in the lower mid left quadrant. That's the moment the embryo was placed in my uterus. The crazy looking mass of cells is the embryo. Evidently the uglier they look the better they are. 
Feeling great (I'm high on Valium). Ready for the next 5 days of stillness and dreaming.
