ER and fert report

ER itself went fine. The last thing I remember is them putting my oxygen mask on and then next they were asking me to shimmy my hiney onto the bed. As soon as they wheeled me out, I started cramping. My body was definitely not pleased with getting everything sucked out of it. I was extremely uncomfortable for about 12 hours, but as it came toward bedtime, things got better. Let me tell you though, using the restroom...not fun.

Today is much better. I did stay home again today (which was good, still sore), and just heard my fert report.

Out of 19 eggs, 18 were mature. All 18 were ICSI'd, and 13 are up and growing.

13 embabies...13 babies...13 possible children sitting in a little dish in an incubator, just waiting for their parents.

God, I can't wait.

They will call tomorrow or Thursday morning and tell me if it will be 3 day or a 5 day transfer (right now, it looks like 5).

I can't wait to be a mom.

Started Stims today

This morning I went in for my baseline ultrasound and E2. One of the nurses was nice enough to administer my follistim for me (DH normally does all my injections). It feels really good to get into the real meat of this process now. Dr. Vu believes we might break 30 on the number of eggs at retrieval. I know they will not all be mature and not all of them will fertilize. However, if we can get a third of those to divide properly, I would be thrilled. We would have two put back in and freeze the other eight, with the hope that four would survive the next defrost.

BTW, looooooooove the follistim needles. I didn't even know anything went in. Freakin' awesome.
