What a dreaded phone call. I don't think I have ever been more anxious for a call in my entire life. We collected 6 eggs, 4 were injected via ICSI and 3 fertilized.
I am relieved that our parts can come together and they can fertilize- that's good news. I have a lot of questions about why there were only 6 eggs. I am going to to out on a limb and guess since I have PCOS and they were afraid of "overstimulation" that I wasn't put on crazy doses. I feel pretty good considering the retrieval was yesterday. Im still a little bloated and sore but no severe side effects- yet (and hopefully not ever). I feel happy and thankful for 3 embryos but a part of me is still hesitant. We will be doing a 3-day transfer this Saturday November 8th. In this time from Thurs-Sat I will be thinking: will they survive? will they be good quality? will any make it past transfer so we can freeze the rest? I believe they will only freeze day 5 embryos-but I could be wrong.
This whole thing is such a crazy unknown ride. We could get to saturday and have 3 perfect embryos or 1 or none. I am trying to be optimistic but it's hard, and I think natural to worry. I can't do anything now but wait. It's all in gods/science/universes hands. Can we just fast forward till the end of november and I know if we are pregnant or not? lol
Until then, you can find me at home. Fretting. Trying to stay positive.
