Retrieval

We are home from Indy, and I'm enjoying HGTV for the afternoon! Everything went well this morning even though I didn't sleep the greatest last night. I was probably afraid the alarm wouldn't go off. We got to the hospital at 5:45am (4:45 Illinois time), and didn't get called back until 6:30! Thank goodness I didn't have a full bladder. :-)

Once we were in the room, everything went pretty quickly...papers signed, bp and pulse taken, iv inserted...we just were waiting on Dr. J. I was taken back about 7:15, and we were on the road home by 8:30! The retrieval went well. I do remember a little more than last time like the air in my nose and them positioning my legs, but that's okay. They were able to get 12 eggs!! I was pretty pleased with that but also curious about what happened to #13 that was measured on Saturday. This is double the number retrieved during our first IVF, and I think Dr. J was very pleased with that.

I'll get the call tomorrow morning from the lab to see how many fertilized, and then the call from the nurse to see when the transfer is scheduled. Now, we just need prayers for the fertilization and also that my body would be prepared for the transfer and accept the embryos!
