The Wait

My IVF clinic is about an hour away from my house combine that with a winter storm warning. The DH and I decided to leave the house 2 hours early so we got up at 4:30 am!!! We made it there in an hour and a half so that wasn't too bad. Egg retrieval went well. They retrieved 25 eggs! That is more than both my first and second time, so hopefully this time is the charm! I should be more excited, but since I've been in this wonderful world of IVF I realize that it means nothing until we show up for the day of the transfer and they break down the quality of what is left. So we will see. I am hoping that now that the DH's hormone issue is fixed that we will get a much better quality embryo. Please keep your fingers crossed for me! I will find out tomorrow how many out of the 25 they can fertilize so that will be the next step. Overall, I came home took a nap and feel decent, just a little sore. Now the waiting game begins for my embryo transfer!

I'm glad you're feeling well and that you ER was successful! Good luck!! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you!
