Let the dividing begin!

Well, egg retrieval is over! We managed to get 6 eggs off the right ovary and just before calling it quits they found 1 follicle on the left ovary!!! Reminder: I had me left ovary removed in 2009 after trauma that developed during my last pregnancy. I didn't know that could even happen, but was told on a rare occasion it does. I don't know why, but that golden egg has given me a little hope. I mean, if an egg can develop out of something that was supposed to be completely removed then it goes to show that miracles can happen. Maybe my body doesn't hate me as much as I thought.

Started a Medrol (steroid) and z-pack to reduce any reactions or infections. Tomorrow I will start endometrium suppositories x3 a day, which will help with the liking of the uterus and get ready for implantation.

I will get a call tomorrow with the fertilization report, which typically is 60%. So maybe we will get lucky and have 4 fertilize. Then Friday we will get an update on how they are graded (good-poor) and looking at Sunday between 10-2 for the egg transfer. We decided to take Tootsie with us for this part, since last time it was such a powerful and emotional experience. Why not let your 6 year old in the room when you conceive? Bet not many parents want to explain that situation, I figure it may be a good time to start being open and honest with how things work. Then again, it may be the biggest blunder yet and I will regret it. Either way, I feel at the moment that she is mature enough to handle it. After all if she can give me my shots, she can learn why I had to do them.

I want to thank all my friends and family for the texts and phone calls. You all mean the world toe and I can't thank you enough!!!!!
