The Trial Transfer

First step in the IVF process for me was to get the mapping of my uterus.  It is also called a trial transfer.  This is done so the doctors can record the measurements of my uterus and know how far the catheter must go in and what turns it may need to take to get the embryos in the right place on the transfer.  I had to have a full bladder because it helps the uterus to show up better on ultrasound.  I will actually have to do that again on the transfer day.  I think the worse part of the whole thing was the full bladder, I felt like I couldn't hold it anymore, and that I was gonna flood the whole room.  Thank God I was a big girl and made it through the procedure without wetting myself :)  You have to drink 32 oz of fluid 30 minutes prior to the procedure.  Anyhow, not too big of a deal.  My next step is to get my labs done.  HIV, Hep B, Hep  C, and some others.  It is a routine thing.  Then I call my nurse on day 1.
