egg retrieval - check

We can check that off our list! The retrieval went well today. It was like being at a resort compared to the old doctor. I told Dr. K that I was going to name my babies after him. He probably thinks I'm insane. Oh well :) I mean it! He will totally deserve it!

We got 8 eggs today! WOOT WOOT!!! That's a lot for this ol' girl's ovaries!!! I am very pleased with that.

They will call me tomorrow with a fertilization report. And, I think we'll transfer on Thursday.

It is a beautiful day today, and I slept it all away, but I am sure my little eggs and R's sperm were wide awake and gettin' things done!!!

The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness, for His names sake.
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for though art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Great! My husband and I have done 2 IVF's and both have been unsuccessful. We will be going back to the doctor and gearing up for our frozen transfer. Hopefully things will work out or we will be on the road to IVF #3! Praying for good results!
