Don't have much to say

I come on here often to check how everyone is doing but don't really have much to say about IF right now. If you're interested in following my cancer blog, please email me at elephantmeg@juno.com and I'll send you the link. I update my cancer blog pretty frequently as to what's happening with my treatments etc.

Know that I'm thinking of you all often and check on you regularly.

Where was I?

Apprantly a man in Florida tried to sell or trade his 6 month old baby on craigs.list. Umm, I'll take it:) But seriously, who does that? Once again, life is not fair and some people should not have children.

I'm off to drink myself into a stupor before starting chemo on Monday...
Have a good one.

Fert Report

Of the 11 eggs retrieved, 5 were mature and 4 fertilized. We have 4 babies on ice!!

Back from ER

They got 11 eggs, 11!!!
I am so happy with that.
The embryologist will call tomorrow morning with the fert report and let me know how many are going to be frozen.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

ER is Tomorrow AM

I am so freaking nervous. I am worried that I am going to ovulate on my own before I get there to get the eggs taken. Oh, I know they've been doing this for years and know what they're doing but I've never been in this place before and don't know if I'll have the chance to ever be here before. I pray for great eggs and strong embies that make it to freeze. They only have to make it 18 hours before they're frozen, just 18 hours.

Andrea gave me a great idea today, since I did my trigger last night, I POAS and got my BFP...ha ha, that will be the only + pregnancy test I'll see for awhile. It was pretty fun though I have to admit even if I knew it wasn't true.

I'll update tomorrow afternoon with how many eggs we get. Until tomorrow....

All Systems GO

I had my u/s today and everything looks awesome! I have 8 follies that are now over 18 and two of those are over 20! RE thinks we should get 8-9 eggs! I am all set to trigger tonight for a 6am retrieval Thursday!

Growing, Growing, Growing

I am so pleased to announce that my follies continue to amaze me at their growth over the last 2 days. All my follies are now over 12, most over 14, and those babies on the left are over 18!! WOOHOO! I filled out all the consent forms today for a Thursday ER. I had to rearrange some other appointments but that's OK, I'm making it work. DH will be at a football camp so I'm driving an hour tomorrow to meet him and have him give me the HCG shot and will get to have dinner with my friend who's 39 weeks pregnant too.

I have an u/s scheduled for tomorrow morning to get a final check on the little beauties growing in my abdomen. He said after the retrieval on Thursday they would fertilize all they could and then freeze them Friday morning. I have a much better chance of more making it to freeze by freezing after 18 hours than if we did it after 3 or 5 days if this was a fresh transfer.

My old RE who said I would never be able to use my own eggs can SUCK IT! Just goes to show that you should never give up and you have to be your own advocate. I'll update with my E2 from today when the nurse calls.

Update: E2 is 911!!
