My egg retrieval was this past Thursday. I didn't feel a thing and was put to sleep so the day was full of lots of laying around and sleeping. They did tell me before I left that they retrieved 24 eggs from my ovaries that morning. I returned to work the next day, which wasn't my best idea because I was dying by the end of the day in pain. My Friday night consisted of one of my besties cooking me dinner and watching a movie on the couch. My nurse called early Friday morning and informed me that out of the 24 retrieved eggs 6 of them were immature leaving 18 for them to fertilize and progress. After injecting the sperm and watching them for the day, 12 of the eggs had fertilized and were progressing nicely. The other embryos didn't make it. They called again this morning and informed me that 11 of the 12 eggs were still progressing nicely and want me to come in on Tuesday morning for my transfer. As the day approaches I get a little bit more confident and anxious. I'm hoping to have them transfer 2 embryos on Tuesday, but that will be determined when I get there on Tuesday and talk with my doctor. What they do not transfer will be frozen for later use if we need them. I will keep everyone updated how the process goes on Tuesday....
Until next time....
