{IVF Egg Retrieval Update}


Update Time! We started IVF and did our first egg retrieval yesterday. We ended up with 11 eggs, of which 10 were mature. Of those 10, 7 had normal fertilization. Those little 7 embryos will sit all nice and cozy in an incubator and hopefully the cells start splitting and multiplying like crazy. On Thursday we will get another report from the embryologists and find out how they are doing. Depending on the report, we will most likely go in to the clinic and I'll receive the eggs (hopefully 2 strong and healthy ones) back via transfer on Saturday. Any remaining after that will be preserved and frozen. I am feeling okay today after the procedure, but not great. This is normal and should last for about a week or so I'm told. We are hanging in there and happy! :)
