It’s been about 12 hours since my egg retrieval and I’ve felt so crappy today that I’m just now feeling up to writing about it. I think I’m going to keep this short (and not so sweet) because I don’t have much energy.
Anxious (even the second time around).
Sore (as to be expected).
Naps (as in several).
Vomit (that’s a new one).
Pain (all too familiar).
Disappointment (only 7 eggs this time).
Tomorrow morning we get our first fertilization report and all I can hope for from our lucky seven is that they were all mature and have fertilized. We don’t have much room for error and to lose any along the way. If we do, our odds are going to come crashing down.
As will my hope.
Strong (doing my best).

i’m reading the blog at alittlepregnant.com . the posts are from 2003 and up, but it’s about her rounds of IVFs, etc. told with good old fashioned sarcastic humor and a whole lot of reality. i’m gearing up mentally for our 2nd cycle (assuming i ever get my period this cycle) and reading it is good for me. i hope you get good news tomorrow.
Take it easy & fingers crossed for 100% fertilisation rate x
It does not sound good with the vomiting. I think you should check with them, because there is always that risk of hyperstimulation. Make sure to drink lots of water.
I’m hopeful for your 7 eggs! I had 8 myself and we ended up with 6 good embryos, so sometimes it’s not only about big numbers. Don’t let go of hope!!
Hope you’ll feel better soon. Take extra good care of yourself now!
Fingers crossed for great fertilisation results!
