The clinic called me on Wednesday saying they needed to reschedule the trial transfer. It worked best for me to just do it this morning (Thursday) and for me to go into work late. I actually am covering at another office today so I felt kind of bad, but I only got there 2 hours late and they had only had a few patients, so it worked out well!
The trial transfer was actually more uncomfortable than I was expecting! I was not prepared for it. It was just uncomfortable because I had to have a full bladder and they've got an ultrasound pressing right over the bladder, plus a speculum going up the other way, with a probe.
The reason they do the trial transfer is to check for polyps or anything else that may compromise the integrity of the transfer. Polyps can develop during stims because of all the extra hormones and you can usually not sustain a pregnancy with a polyp.
Everything went great and they cleared me to continue on with the process! Glad I don't need any additional surgery or time to wait for this transfer!
***As a side note, after the fact...the clinic did bill insurance for the trial transfer and it was covered 100%! Not sure if this is the same for all insurances, but Cigna at least did not have any problems. The clinic said doing this was pretty standard so most insurances with fertility benefits should cover it.
