I had egg retrieval (ER) on Thurs. They got 38 eggs! Out of the 20 they tried to fertilize 15 made it! We found that out on Friday. They were going to freeze most of them today or tomorrow. And then hopefully egg transfer will be this Tues. It still depends how my body is doing. If I have hyperstimulation then they'll freeze the couple left for transfer and wait until next month.
Right now I'm in the recovery process from ER. I look like I'm about 6 months pg b/c of the bloating and fluid from the popped follicles. Yesterday was pretty rough, but today I'm starting to feel a little better. I think I'm past the worst of it! Now I just keep drinking lots of water and hope that I don't get OHSS. And I wait for the Dr.'s report and assessment on Mon. to find out if this week is ET or not. I hope so!
I started my progesterone injections tonight. DH has to give them to me. I was very nervous, but it wasn't too bad. I better get used to them b/c I have to do them 2x a day for a bit. And it could be up to 9 weeks if I get pg. But that would definitely be worth it.
I'll update more after I have some status about ET.
