2 short of a dozen




They retrieved 10 ovum today. So now we wait to see how many little blasties will grow. I will call the center Saturday to check on the progress. We are shooting for a 5 day transfer, so maybe Monday.

Funny thing happened.

When super nice Nurse girl came to get me to go to surgery room, she took me to alittle room adjacent to surgery room. (This always happens before I enter the surgery room, i wait in this little room).

So when i walked in today, I sat on the bed, turn around and theres a little baby under the blankets sleeping! Shes in a red jumper, sound asleep with her arms stretched out straight on each side. I was startled, then laughed and was like "Oh a baby..." I asked who's it was, i THINK she said someone that works there, but couldn't get all of it. Wow.... I took it as a good omen man.

After I woke up from the anesthesia, Dr. K came to our room to see us. He told us about the number of ovum collected, that Super S's boys were all good and told me he will give me another IViG infusion today. I asked if it was too soon as I had on Saturday. He said he likes to do this low dose IViG (Immunoglobin G: 50ml- 2,500mg- approx. 2.5grams) usually 3 times, 3 days apart. So I took one Saturday, one today and will take another infusion on transfer day.

So i am taking an antibiotic now for 3 days to combat any infection, resumed my low dose aspirin, continuing my 10mg daily of Prednisolone, and will start Clexane (40mg) injections tomorrow. Also added the super fun Progesterone suppositories (400mg twice daily). Dr. K prefers these over the injections, which i did do last cycle.

And thats it. I am really sore this time, like my ovaries feel like they are exploding bloated still and I have alot of pressure, but its bearable.

Off to rest now. Thanks for all your wonderful comments and for following along, it means the world to me really. It will mean even more in few weeks when you come back and congratulate me on my BFP! Night. xoxoxo
