Well Dr. Griffin called today (in the middle of while I was teaching, of course) to let me know the results of the fertilization. He was VERY pleased and so are we!! Of the 17 eggs retrieved yesterday, 13 fertilized and are growing properly. 6 were fertilized using some special method (shouldn't I have written this down? oh well) and all 6 are perfect. Of the remaining 11 that were fertilized more "naturally", 7 made it. He thinks the other four that didn't fertilize properly were probably just immature. So this is exciting!! I go for the transfer on Thursday at 10am. I sure hope my little zygotes grow grow grow!!!
Having to stand a lot at work today definitely was difficult. My poor ovaries HURT!! Now my back hurts too. I was given a script for loritabs and I think I might break down and take one later, just to get a little relief. Tomorrow I'm going to try to sit more, although I don't know how that's going to work out. All in all, despite the discomfort and mild headache (story of my life), I'm in very good spirits and looking forward to getting this done with. Even if it doesn't work out this month I hope I have enough embryos to freeze so that I can just use them next cycle instead of going through all of this.
Fingers Crossed!!!
