The big day

This was the day that we have been working on for a month. The shots, pills, blood draws and sonongrams all led up to this. We had our implantation. We went in last fri to retrieve the eggs and it has been very stressful waiting for today. Would the eggs make it, would they get to the cell amount that they needed to? All 4 of them reproduced and so we took the 3 best to put back in. Now it's just a waiting game to see how they handle being put back in. We do a pregnancy test next fri and at that point we know if we are moving ahead.
My mom and Doug both went and were very excited as well about the whole process. Mom from both the clinical and the fact that her daughter may finally get pregnant.
We met Stacey for lunch afterwards at Red Robin and then I came home and crawled back into bed until I couldn't stand it anymore.

One more shot

The time has finally arrived. We go in Fri for the retrieval. Yeah. We had our final sonogram this morning and some of the follicles have finally gotten to where they are supposed to be. Some of the others are showing potential growth as well, so we will have to wait and see what the dr finds.
My last shot is the HCG. I have to do that at 8:30 tonite and then start taking lots of pills for infection and swelling.

Numbers

Good news from the Dr. My E2 has gone up to where it is suppposed to be. It started at 83.5. should have been closer to 100, then to 138, then exploded to 331 and the call today told me it is 790. The number should have been 800 today for what they expect and it is almost there. I just start slow and then boom. Also at the sono today we saw 7 follicles. Good but could be better. I have to go into get another set of blood work and another sono tomorrow morning and we will see what day my retrieval will be. The nurse today said probably on fri but we will wait and see. Yeah. The shots aren't too bad but I am so bruised and sick of giving them everyday. My mom said to just remember this stuff and if we do get pregnant and are blessed with a child then we can hold this over their head forever.
Went to the graduation extravanza today on campus. They have all of the information correct so I am set for Fri. May 13 at 2 pm. That is if everything goes well in classes. Yeah. What a great year this has been so far.

Update

Well it's supposedly a week until retrieval. According to our initial calendar we are set for Thur March 10. I just hope that my body has done what it is supposed to do. I have gone for 2 sets of bloodwork and one sonogram. The first bloodwork came back 83.5, they like to see 100. This upset me a little. When I went in for the sonogram, I expected to see follicles popping up but there were only a few and they were faint. The blood work came back 138, so I am climbing, I just hope enough. We go in for another set of blood work and sono tomorrow. We will see what is happening then.
On another very exciting note, I got an email from Phi Kappa Phi. Because I have rocked in grad school and kept a 4.0 to this point I have been invited to join. Only the top 10% of grad school get in. How cool is that? First I was invited to join Golden Key because of grades and now this. I am going to get to wear cords to graduation. I am going to look good.
Graduation has been set. It will be Fri May 13 at 2pm. Yea. Not too far down the road. Next monday I have to go to the graduation extravaganza to check and make sure diploma details are right and to order my cap and gown. It's so close.
