ER went really well, I was surprised by the outcome.
The nurse said they grade the eggs 1-4, with 1 being immature, 4 being overmature, and 2-3 being the "players," with 3's being the best.
So, imagine my surprise when she said not only did they retrieve 19 eggs, but they were all grade 3!
I've still got to get through fertilization, but I'm really excited and pleased for now. This is a big improvement over last time. We are cautiously optimistic for a 5dt on Wednesday.
I'm feeling much better this time as well, not nearly as groggy or tired, but I am sure there will be a nap in my near future just the same. I'm off to get a snack and take it easy now, and I'll check back in later.
