Retrieval

I'm just chilling here at home with my dog and my computer...and a little bit of football.  I couldn't ask for a better Sunday morning!  :)

I feel pretty good.  I've got some mild cramping and I find myself walking somewhat gingerly, but it's nothing major.

We got back from the RE's office about about an hour ago.  As far as I can tell, the retrieval was smooth...and they got 14 eggs.

If things go well, the plan is to do biopsies on Friday and a day 6 transfer on Saturday morning.  Of course, I know that things can change in a flash and I could back in the office for a 3 or 5 day transfer depending on how things progress over the next couple of days.

At this point, I've done all I can do, so I'm just going to take care of myself, check out the ICLW blogs, and enjoy the quiet house.

    Your cycle has been going awesome so far! I am sorry about the OHSS risk, but hopefully things will calm down very soon in there. I had a mild version on both of the ART cycles which resulted in a positive test. My advise would be to rest as mucha as you can, kinda' partial bedrest and have lot's of fluids. I remember drinking lot's of tomato juice. I will keep my fingers crossed for a great fertilization report, good biopsy results and beautiful embryos. A day 6 transfer sounds like a great plan, that gives you a little extra time to rest up for ET.
    Thanks for stopping by my blog and happy ICLW!

    14 eggs is great! I had 26 at my retrieval and ended up with super severe OHSS (and was hospitalized).

    I can't wait to read about how many fertilized and how the transfer goes :)
