The last few weeks have been crazy ones. I did all of my invitro injections and they took quite a toll on me. I felt so huge and bloaty at times and sometimes a little sick. I was on the major stim medications while we were at Disneyland last week with my whole family. It was interesting packing a cooler full of drugs and a box of needles and syringes. And before we would head into the parks Jon would do the injections for me. Not exactly how you would picture Disneyland. But besides the daily injections and having to go early one morning for a blood draw, Disneyland was amazing! I love it there! It's so magical for the kids-- they love seeing all characters and riding all the rides. It was so special to have my whole family there this year. We made so many great memories to last a lifetime.
After being on the stim meds for a week I went in for ultrasounds where they would check the size of my follicles in the ovaries, they were growing pretty well which I could totally feel. So they scheduled the egg retrieval-- I had the procedure done yesterday-- they put me under and retrieved 17 eggs. They were hoping for 10-13 so 17 was good news. They then fertilized them and called this morning to tell us that 9/17 were fertilized. That was good news. The plan is to have at least 3 good strong embryos so that Wednesday they can transfer two and we can have one to freeze to use later. We will know 2 weeks after the transfer if we are pregnant! It's so exciting and scary, but we have faith that it will all work out!
