The nurse called this morning and said that they actually retrieved 22 eggs, they found 2 more when sorting through the fluid they retrieved with the eggs. 21 of the 22 were mature, meaning that they measured between 15-22mm in size. 16 out of the 22 fertilized so we have 16 eggs that are in the incubator now and we are scheduled for an appointment at 9:00 am Saturday.
The nurse said to stay by the phone Saturday morning because there is a good chance they will cancel that appointment and let them grow until Monday in order to differentiate the best egg from the rest.
So I think Monday will be the big day. I will be on 2 days of bed rest after the procedure, which I plan on enjoying by watching movies and resting. Mom is going to take the little one off our hands for Monday and Tuesday because it is hard to explain to a 4 year old that you can't get out of bed for 2 days. She will enjoy getting to spend time with her Mee Mee too and Mom will get some much needed time off!
Tomorrow Chris gets to start playing nurse and injecting me with progesterone in oil every day for the next 2 weeks, at least. If we get a positive pregnancy test I will continue taking the shots every day for 6 weeks. I can't say I am thrilled about having to take an intramuscular shot with an inch and 1/2 long needle everyday but it will be worth it if this all works out.
We are praying for a successful transfer! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
