~Egg Retrieval Day~

Egg retrieval is OVER, woot woot! Everything went really smooth and the doctor said everything looked good. They retrieved 20 eggs and from those 20 they think about 12 were mature enough to fertilize…I guess we will see tomorrow when the embryologist calls!

Today after the procedure the Dude took me to Red Lobster (my favorite) and for a cupcake at Crave. After that it was straight to the hotel for a 5 hour nap! Tonight I have been bumming around because the pressure of walking makes my ovaries scream “ow”!

I thought I would post a video about the process of IVF for the people who are still a little confused about IVF and what goes on. I found this fun video online, I hope you get something out of it!



The Dude and I are SUPER excited to hear about our little embies tomorrow! Hopefully my eggs did not decline dinner and a movie!

Love to you…

Congrats on ER! I'll be doing this in January, so it is always nice to read about the experience of others. I hope you get a bunch that fertilize and several to freeze!
