Ready, Set....

I just got the confirmation call! On Wednesday morning, we’re going in for the egg retrieval! Finally! I feel like it’s been an eternity since we’ve been able to try. I know that it hasn’t been long at all, but when you’re waiting for something like this it seems like a long time. Good thing because my injections were getting pretty brutal. Last night, after my third injection, I started to feel really bad. Cramping and nausea took over and I ended up going to sleep at 8:45 because I just didn’t want to be awake for it anymore. Tonight will be the last night of injections (yay!!!). Here’s to hoping we NEVER have to do all of this again.

The ultra sound tech and my nurse both said they think I’ll do really well since I have so many “fantastic” follicles. I have about 11 on one side and 14 on the other! I’m expected to do really well.

We’ve decided to freeze our good embryos that we don’t use. A really great part of that is that if we needed them next month or two years from now, we can use them instead of going through ALL of this, again. Science is pretty amazing and I thank God that we’ve come so far and have so many intelligent and hardworking people that have dedicated their lives to helping couples through infertility.  If we don’t use our embryos or decide we don’t need or want them, they will be donated to science.  Science is helping us create a life and hopefully we will help science do something incredible, as well.  

One of the embryos is destined to be our sweet baby. We can’t wait.
