Aspiration!

I had to stay on my medication longer than expected.  My follicles weren't growing like they needed to.  I had to go in every other day for blood work and ultrasound.  On my blood work they were looking for my estrogen level.  They started at 300 but needed to get up to 2400.  On the ultrasound they were looking at my follicles.  They started around 6 but again needed to get up to 21.  So 8 trips later my follicles were finally at 21 and 22!!!  That meant I was ready.  I stopped my meds and had to take a trigger drug called Ovidrel.  It had to be taken at a specific time because 36 hours later would be my aspiration.  The drug is a HcG drug to tell my eggs to drop.  

Tuesday morning we went in for my aspiration!!  We had to get there at 6:45am.  At the Reproductive Medicine Group they have a surgery center right on site.  So they admitted me and by 730 was ready.  They walked me to the OR.  They put me under with an iv and the whole procedure took 20 mins.    They got 6 eggs!    The embryologist then took Steve's sample to put with my eggs.

We left by 9 am.  And I went home to rest.  

Wednesday they called to say all the eggs matured and fertilized!!!!!!

Thursday they called to tell me my transfer would be Friday morning!!!!
