Lucky seven

Back home from retrieval.

Amazingly, out of 8 follicles we got 7 eggs. We won't know until tomorrow how many are mature. (And my RE noted that if any are immature and mature overnight, we could end up with a Day 6 transfer instead of Day 5.)

My NK and TH1:TH2 came back completely normal, so no Intralipid today. If we transfer and get a BFP, then my next Intralipid will happen then. Lovenox starts back up tonight and progesterone (in ethyl oleate) starts Monday.

Retrieval was smooth. Had an anesthesiologist I like (I've had 3 different ones), IV was easy, no nausea. Slept a little longer than usual post retrieval, but otherwise very normal and easy. They all know I have to be flat for IV going in and out, so we have our routine down.

Thanks for your well wishes, everyone!

    I didn't even know that the eggs could mature after the retrieval. That's interesting.

    Seven sounds like a good number.

    Hope you get lots of nice looking embryos.
