Yesterday was our embryo retrieval day! We arrived at the doctor at 8:30 for prep, I put on my gown, the anesthesiologist put an IV in my hand and soon after I was on the table in the retrieval room. They strapped my knees to the table, and next thing I remember was the oxygen mask, and I was out. I woke up in the recovery room, to the doctor talking to us. He told us we got 37 eggs! We had guessed a much lower number, so we were very excited!
Today we got a call from the embryologist, and 30 of those 37 eggs were mature, and 26 fertilized! That means we had 26 embryos as of this morning. Now we just sit and wait until the transfer on Thursday. When we go in, we will find out how many of those 26 continued to divide and how many didn't make it. The embryologist will give them all grades, and we'll most likely transfer the best two, depending on their grades. The remaining embryos will be frozen for future use!
Today I have just been resting and trying to stay hydrated. I've been pretty bloated and sore, from the removal of all those eggs. I'm starting to feel a little better, and hopefully that will continue.
I can't wait to update on Thursday after our retrieval!!!
