1st Report

Ok, here's the breakdown of our 14 little eggies...

6 were icsi'd and all 6 fertilized

7 were done 'conventionally' and 4 fertilized

1 was immature so it was not used

So... we have 10 embabies!!!

Can't wait for the fert. report tomorrow afternoon! Ok, going back to bed now.... xoxo

Retrieval Eve

"I don't know what the future holds...but I know who holds the future."

I've been carrying this quote around with me since last summer after I had my lap and was so down and disappointed. It has carried me through the ups and downs of this year and will continue to carry me through the night tonight as I anxiously await tomorrows egg retrieval.

Praying for sweet dreams, a calm heart, and a successful retrieval tomorrow morning.

They're Groooowing!!!

Ladies, thank you so much for checking on me and allowing me to vent. I sure needed that! The antibiotic is still making me feel yuck, but the good news I've been getting from the dr. has helped.

Since I've posted last I've started daily monitoring appts. They are going great (aside from having yet ANOTHER shot and that dang vag ultrasound)! The ultrasound girl i work with is really cool though and we talk and she tells me what she sees, etc...

On Monday, Day 4 of foll.i.stim and the first day of daily monitoring, she found 2 measurable follicles. One on each side. My estra.diol level also increased from 23 to 116! Dr. K said I could skip Tuesday's appt and keep at the same dose of foll.i.stim.

So today, Day 6, I went back. Are you ready for it.... I went from 2 to 7 follicles!!!!! WHOA! AND they are 'watching' 10 more!!! Yikes! Dr. K says I have 'over achievers' in there and that he is very pleased with how well my body is responding to the meds. oh, and my estradiol number has increased to 323.

Right Ovary: 1.0, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3

Left Ovary: 1.0, 1,2

So... at the moment I have a tentative ER Monday or Tuesday and the ET Friday or Saturday!!! OMG! It's happening so fast! :)
