I just got home from my egg retrieval. We got 5 eggs! I am so happy! Normally that is not a lot for IVF but I was worried that we might cancel the cycle and not even make it to retrieval so I am thrilled. They are being ICSI'd right now and we should know tomorrow morning how they fertilized. So that's it for today. I'll keep you posted because I am gonna need a lot of help getting through this week!

Re: XP: Done with egg retrieval!
Yay! I'm glad they didn't cancel on you. 5 isn't too bad. I hope they all fertilize

I had to Google ICSI'd: ICSI is an acronym for intracytoplasmic sperm injection - which is a fancy way of saying "inject sperm in the middle of the egg". ICSI is a very effective method to fertilize eggs in the IVF lab after they have been retrieved from the female.
Yeah! There are some clicky polls today to keep you occupied and you missed one funny loldog PIP war last night.

Thanks Peetie! I forget that most people on this board don't know some of the IVF lingo. And I'm glad it's CPW cuz I definitely need to be entertained today while I sit here on the couch.
