Well I was post poning this.... post, wow that sounded weird but anyway I didn't want to write anything for fear of jinxing something but... we're past our two week wait and things are looking... POSITIVE!
I'm also going to be buying a lot of things that look like these.
The procedure had to be done on a full bladder so prior to going in I had my little Thor moment, going:
only in my car with bottles of water, so still funny but less dramatic and messy.
There's probably sexier ways to conceive.. easier too, if we could do it that way - but right at that moment there was no where else I wanted to be.

And hubby and I are totally doing this....
While thinking about this....
The egg implantation wasn't too scary either. This one was done at the fertility clinic with no anaesthetic, just a comfy chair and dimmed lights. Hubby was nagging me about wearing my daggy slip on shoes - which, yeah, they are a bit daggy but I didn't want to be farting around with laces or fiddly shoes. Besides, no one's there to critique my footwear.
I stayed classy just now and didn't make the fur slipper joke but you're gong to think it now, aren't you?
only in my car with bottles of water, so still funny but less dramatic and messy.
Walking into the waiting room, we were given a photo of the clump of cells becoming our baby. We hadn't expected this and it was a nice surprise. I honestly found myself falling in love with this grey-scale representation of our combined genes.
The whole thing only took like five minutes. They had a screen up where we could watch the actual implantation. To be honest, I was too excited and nervous and I lost track of what was what but I nodded along dutifully like I'd been reading up on this stuff since last semester, and hoped hubby was paying more attention than I was.
Notable moments - OG being in a super happy mood because he had the rest of the day off. Hubby learning what a speculum was, my vagina fighting said speculum off with an audacity that - would this have been a different century, may have encouraged a passionate song based tribute to it's courage and strength against a terrifying mechanical foe.
Finally, I got to relax in the semi darkness for around 5-10 minutes, not moving, just looking into my partners eyes and holding his hand tightly.
