PUPO!

Hi friends!  Sorry for my delay...  We had 10 eggs fertilize!  We decided to transfer 2 embryos and we had 3 to freeze!

 

I am officially 3dp5dt!!  (3 days past a 5 day transfer) which means I am PUPO!  Pregnant unless proven otherwise.  Woohoo!  I had 2 days of bed rest which was nice day 1 and then it grew old.  I cannot thank my bestie named Emily for creating 2 fabulous meals for us while I was on bed rest.  She's a saint!!!  Love her.

 

 

Here are our two embryo-babies. 

Rob says the top one is a boy and the bottom is a girl.  They are both 6-7AA embryos (top grade!) yeah! 

 

The above photo makes me PUPO!  Can you see the little embryo's in my uterus?  Little blobs on the far left!  This is the closest I have ever been to pregnant.  Please stick little babies!

XOXO!!!

 

 

 

Finally, Egg Retrieval!

Today went well as expected!  Let me start by saying that this cycle has been completely different.  Less shots, less dosages and less days.  My Estrodiol levels were much lower than the last cancelled cycle.  I think I barely got to 3,000 at retrieval and last cycle was over 10,000. 

This morning was early.  We got up at 4am to start our almost 2 hour drive and I was nervous.  When we arrived, they were ready for us and my favorite nurse was taking care of me.  Tiffany.  I love her.  She was the only nurse that consoled me when my last cycle was cancelled. 

Everything went fast.  I was given an IV with yummy cocktails and before I knew it, I was back in the recovery chair.  It was over.  They retrieved 22 eggs!!!  Thank you ovaries for being so cooperative.

When I got in the car, Rob said "we are making 22 babies!" WOAH!  That's plenty of follicles.

When I got home, I slept most of the day.  I was exhausted from the medications. 

Tomorrow I will learn the fertilization rate.  Come on big numbers!  Tomorrow also starts the day of progesterone shots with the big needle in the butt.  YOUCH! 

Stay tuned for tomorrow's report!

Monday, I will be PUPO!  Gosh, that sounds incredible.
