IVF # 2: Egg Retrieval

I'm feeling good.  The retrieval process went well.  I think today was one of the first days in this entire cycle that I didn't feel stressed out or rushed.  I got to sleep in the same bed with my husband last night for the first time in over two weeks.  He brought our dog up for the retrieval so I got to snuggle her as well.  I drank water until the midnight cutoff.  I ate a chocolate bar at 11:30 pm.  Like last time, F and I made bets on the number of eggs we would retrieve today.  Basing my guess on the number of follicles I had on Sunday, I chose 9.  F chose ten.  This morning when I woke up I wanted to change the number to 12 for some reason.  F wouldn't let me make any changes to my number.  If he had, I would have won.

BECAUSE WE GOT FOURTEEN MUTHAF@#KIN EGGS!!!

I think that's a pretty awesome start.

The embryologist should call tomorrow morning with the fertilization report.  After that we won't get any updates about our embryos until the morning of the possible transfer.

I say "possible transfer."  I noticed on the forms I signed this morning that Embryology is saying, "possible freeze all."  It would seem to them that my glass is half empty.
