Relieved And Retrieved!

13th September 2008

posted in TTC |

I had four eggs retrieved this morning. We’re not quite sure what happened to the fifth one my doctor spotted on Thursday, but he seemed very hopeful. I was totally freaked out that we lost one along the way but he assured me that things could really work out and that I should not worry at this point.

Tomorrow morning they will let me know how many were fertilized. We are fairly confident that it will be a day three transfer, which puts me at a Tuesday.

The procedure was quick but I am very, very tired and I feel crampy. Tonight I start on progestrone suppositories (yuck) and tomorrow morning I start my shots (ouch).

I know it must be so disappointing to get only 4 after everything you went through. I’m sorry.

I am hoping that the 4 eggs they got turn into grade A embryos!

Can’t wait to hear your fertilization numbers! Hope you got lots of rest. i pretty much did nothing but sleep for two days after my retrieval!

What shot are you on now? I am off all injections and only on the one supp. (three times a day…yuck indeed) and then four other pills!

I’m hoping for high quailty! The PIO shots weren’t too bad last time, but you must makesure the liquid is not too cold and that the plunger goes in slowly. The best thing about PIO is that there is no goop in your undies!
