So Far...SUCCESS!

Welcome back from the weekend!!!! Mine was amazing, I hope yours was too. :) Enough of the stalling, I know why you are all here.

I survived the rest of  Thursday and Friday, but just barely. On Friday, we had 22 eggs! One was measuring 22, we had a few other 20's and then they were all over from 15's to 19's. I triggered Friday night at 8:45 pm and then sat and waited. I did my best to keep busy on Saturday. Had a hair appointment in the morning and then went to my best friend's son's first Easter Egg hunt. (He was adorable) I did everything I could to avoid my mid-day nap, which I love so much, that way I would be good and tired for the night. I knew I would be excited and a little anxious about the morning.

We were asked to arrive at 7:45 am, WAY to early for a Sunday. Sadly, we missed all the Easter festivities, but I think it was worth it. Before 8:00 am, they had me dressed and ready for my retrieval. I was completely under, it took about 25 minutes and before I knew it, I was back in my room waking up. BEST NAP EVER. :) So they were able to retrieve 20 eggs. Out of the 20, 17 were mature enough for fertilization and out of the 17, 11 fertilized successfully! I don't have ANY past experience to go off, since this was our first round with IVF, but we are very happy with the first part of this procedure. Now, we wait. My MOST favorite thing to do.

Tomorrow I am to check in with my IVF nurse around 8:30 am and they will tell us if we will be a Day 3 (Wednesday, yes that's TOMORROW) or a Day 5 (Friday) transfer. For selfish reasons, we are hoping for a transfer tomorrow because Friday Vance will be in Vegas. :( Not a BIG DEAL, but we would both like for him to be there. So fingers crossed on that one. However, that being said, if a Friday transfer is what our little eggs need, then a Friday transfer is what our little eggs get!!!!

The bloating and heaviness has started to go away, thank GOD! I have to admit, that was pretty brutal. All injections have ceased. Today I started my hatching medications, which just sounds cool. I am hoping those are nice to me as well! Right now I am just excited and so VERY hopeful, which makes me a little worries. Hahah. But I am just going to roll with it, it's all I can do! Vance is is excited too, but now all we can think about are multiples!!!!! That happen to ANYONE else?

I will be in touch tomorrow and thanks for following us on this journey!!!! Hope you all had a Happy Easter.
