Today's retrieval went pretty smoothly. I was there by 6:30 a.m. and the procedure started promptly at 7:15 a.m. The valium before was a nice touch and the anesthesia worked wonders. Again, I remember being in the procedure room for like a minute before being completely "out". I remember my doctor saying "Okay Christie, I'm going to put the speculum in" and I didn't even feel it. I woke up and heard my doctor whisper in my ear that she had retrieved 10! I was pleased to hear the double digit number as last time I had 8 retrieved.
The embryologist called at about 2:00 p.m. with the maturation report. Out of the 10, 6 are mature. 3 were immature and 1 was degenerative. So 6 have received an attempted fertilization through icsi this morning.
So now I wait until tomorrow to hear the fertilization report. Please, oh please, let it be good.
Oh and yes, the before and after pictures...
Good morning!!!
2nd time is the real charm, right? :)
Yes, hubby still loves me even though I sleep with my mouth open and look like this!
The love of my life, who holds me afloat in so many ways. Love you hubby!
