8 eggs!


The retrieval went very well and we were able to retrieve 8 eggs!! This is great news and is the most we've ever gotten! (The last two times we only got 7.)

We were a little thrown when we arrived and learned that our regular doctor was out of town so one of his partners would be performing the retrieval. Fortunately, his partner is wonderful and made us feel at ease prior to the procedure.  Again, the most traumatic part is always the IV but they've gotten to know me so well they give me a Valium beforehand ;) This definitely helps ease my anxiety and speeds up the process!

 Now we need to hope and pray that they all fertilize and grow strong over the next few days. 

 Off to bed to sleep off my anesthesia!
