WOW today was a big step toward having children!
I had my eggs retrieved this morning 845AM and all went well. Mikel also gave a baby making sample while I was in surgery and they put them together in the lab some time today. I was still recovering from anesthesia when the doctor came in to tell us he retrieved 26 eggs. (The average is 16) The eggs retrieved will not all be fertilized for various reasons. One, they are not all at the right maturity stage (too old or too young) Second, as the doctor put it, we don't want to have a little army created for us ... 26 would be a few too many.
They will call us some time tomorrow to let us know how many eggs were fertilized out of the eggs retrieved. Until then we just wait. The transfer of 1-2 embryo will happen either on Wednesday or Saturday and if there are any extra they will be cryopreserved for future babies.
