ER Report July 22, 2005
I woke up this morning completely paranoid that I had ovulated early. I know the odds of that are slim, but it didn’t matter. You would think that this stuff would get easier the more cycles you do, but I think it gets harder. Five to six eggs were sounding pretty good after I had convinced myself that we could end up with none.
That wasn’t the case, though. We got seven. Would I have loved to have more? Uh, huh, but I guess I’ll just have to take what I can get.
There’s a good chance that they won’t all be mature, and there’s a good chance that not all of the mature ones will fertilize. Starting with seven makes me nervous. I’m just hoping that we’ll have a few to transfer come Monday.
There was a bit of news that lifted my spirits some today, though. I asked my RE to measure my lining again while he was in there, as I was very concerned about the fact that it was measuring on the thin side at 7.5mm on Wednesday. He said he would measure it but that it probably would have compacted because of the increase in progesterone.
After I woke up and found out the number of eggs retrieved I also learned that my lining is now a lovely 10.8mm thick. That definitely made me feel better.
Now, we just have to keep our fingers crossed that we’ll have some embryos to stick back in there on Monday. I should get the fertilization report sometime tomorrow morning. It’s going to be a long 24 hours.

I’ve been told that I have a “perfect” lining at 10 mm, so that is a perfect lining. I’m so, so happy for that. I am crossing my fingers, thinking of you, and waiting on tenderhooks for your fert report.
