Update: Follicle Watch 2010 (and PIP)

babygirlpriestbabygirlpriest
in TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

Yesterday's ER was a smashing success - 11 eggs retrieved!!

Well, at least it was a smashing success for ME. I was hoping for 8 so feel really good about that number. In recovery I kept asking (and forgetting) how many eggs they got. Every time she said "Eleven." I'd start crying... then a minute later I wondered why I was crying and if it was because they didn't get any eggs.

Finally she wrote the number on my hand to help me remember.

Oh - and random but in recovery my bff who was told "no chance in hell you'll conceive on your own" texted me - PREGNANT!

Now waiting on pins and needles for the fertilization report.

    Wootie! Woo! I am thrilled for you! This story has me cracking up. At least you were asking this while under instead of blabbing some deepmdark secret. Wink Just a couple of days! Wishing you and your eggs the best! I wil tell you a funny anestisia story. About two years ago I had to have some dental work, I am terrified of dentists and being awake. They left me sitting in the room for an hour listening to other surgeries that I was having a panic attack. I don't remember being sedated, but when it was all over I was screaming I was still awake and totally freaking out. Yes, the entire place, including the lobby could hear me. Sorry for the big paragraph, iPad will not honor the return button

    Well, nurse just called... 8 were mature and 5 fertilized.

    Not as great as I'd like since we have to do PGS and a 5dt. I was hoping to have several left over to freeze but the reality is, unless somehow they all pass the PGS test, we'll be lucky to have 1 or 2.

    Bend over, because I'm about to shoot puppies and rainbows up your a$$... I still think this is great news! What if they all pass?! Why do you think only 1 or 2 would pass?

    I'm still extremely excited for you!

    I've been pregnant 3 times, all three had genetic issues. The reason we're doing IVF is because we need the screening to make sure only healthy embryos are returned.

    I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to find out all five are healthy, we just had really shiity luck, and all the money we spent on IVF was a waste... but I'm kinda a pessimist about this. And the reality is, we have a better chance of having NONE return healthy than all of them.

    Still, the puppies and rainbows feel all kinds of refreshing on my bum...
