The retrieval is done and I'm happy to report he retrieved 10 eggs!  One of them wasn't mature, so cannot be used.  Two were under mature and may mature today, and seven eggs were mature.  Some will not fertilize and some that fertilize will not make it, so he is hoping to having one or two to transfer.  There is a possibility of having some to freeze… we'll just have to wait and see!

Monday the embryologist will look at the embryo and if they aren't looking good, Lee and I will have to come in for the transfer that day as they likely won't make it to day 5.  If they look good on Monday, he will let them go and transfer on day 5 (Wednesday).

The procedure went well and I'm so happy it's over!  I was very nervous this morning and tearful (these hormones are no joke!) and scared in the surgery room.  His MA Elvira is a sweetheart and told me there are a lot of angels watching over me just before I drifted off to sleep.  The Propofol had me pretty drugged and out of it; after napping I still feel groggy, but so far minimal cramping.  I'm going to hang on the couch or lay in bed today and just relax!

Lee's grandmother just got home from the hospital and my father-in-law says she's alert.  She is now on Hospice care and has been taken off her medications as they weren't really helping.  They were pretty upfront at the hospital and said there's tons of tests they could run, but what good would it do?  It's apparent her body is shutting down.

I will update when I hear something from the fertility clinic!  Please keep our little embryos in your prayers, as well as Grammy!

Love,
Chelle

I laughed when I walked by my dresser this morning and thought "the aftermath!"

I snuck a photo of my retrieval sheet
