Embryo update

Today is day three and the embryologist called with our second update. She said at this point they like the embryos have 6 to 10 cells. She said "yours are doing really really well" of the 17 we have, 14 of them are at that point :)
Will will get a last update in three days, on how many they will freeze.

Embryos

We started with 22 eggs, when the embryologist came to talk to us yesterday he explained that Dr. Schoolcraft wanted to do a proceedure where you inject the sperm into the egg on half, and let the other half fertilize on there own.
On the first half, out of 11 we had 9 mature and 8 that fertilized. On the second group we had 10 mature and nine that fertilized. That gives us a total of 17 embryos!  We will get a day 3 update and they will freeze at day five which is the blast stage.

Retrieval

Retrieval went well. Iv went in pretty smooth! It only took her once, thats a first for me! It was pretty excruciating pain when I woke up, im so thankful for pain meds and heating pads!
We got 22 eggs, not sure how many are mature yet. We will have an update tomorrow.
I am pushing hyper stimulating,  Estrogen is above 4000 right now so lots of liquids and sodium and hope for the best.

Part one trigger

Its almost midnight and im waiting a few minutes for the first half of the trigger shot, (next one will be at noon). Its funny what anxiety it caused, knowing i HAD to wake up at midnight to do this.  Even though my alarm was set, I've looked at the clock 5 times since 1120. Its funny how our bodies work! I so hope I can fall back to sleep! !

Retrieval date

Retrieval is friday at 11. I will have to wait 6-8 weeks for transfer. Like she said it is for my own good, it would be awful to transfer and then hyper stimulate and  id rather have a no stress pregnancy this time. Ill try to be patient !
Thanks for all the support this week!

Good to go!

As long as levels are where the need to be, the trigger shot will be sometime tonight and retrieval will be friday. I have at least 15 follicles on each side that are ranging from 18-21mm. (That's a picture below)
I am so thankful to be off today and in comfy pants!! Im excited for Friday and super ready to be done with the blood draws! (Although there are several more to come)

Moving right along

Making progress, but not quite there yet. Still no for sure date yet, looking like friday for retrieval . We will see what levels look like  tomorrow ...
