What a whirlwind of emotions this week has been since my egg retrieval! I wish I had a light duty job to keep my mind busy this week...but unfortunately that's not the case, so I have taken the week off until the 22nd!
On the day of the retrieval some friends and I had a bet of the final # to fertilize...whelp guess Mama knows best is suitable in this case...
My husband: 12
Me: 8
My BFF: 6
My hubby's BFF: 4 (didnt appreciate that too much...lol!!)
Day 2 Stats:
All 8 still fertilized
5-6 grade 1-2
4 cells
Tentative transfer day 3 :-( boo! I was really hoping for a Day 5 transfer to give our little embies a fighting chance.
We showed up @ 6:45 am today for my appt with yummy sweet treats from a friends bakery for the staff...which they loved!!! Figured I'd sweeten them up!!
Guess my sweetening up worked, because my Dr. went back to check on my "standby" transfer status...whelp...they were dividing properly!!! 5 of them were 8 cells and the others were 5 cells.
Talk about a huge sigh of relief...I think this was the first time all week I smiled. I have been such a grump (blaming it on the hormones) hehe!! My poor husband probably wished that he had to work this week!!! Owell...he signed up for a hormonal wife by signing the IVF paperwork ;-)
Fortunately the butt crack of dawn appointment wasn't a total waste since I had to have bloodwork done today too!
