A Personal Record January 24, 2006

We got 28 eggs at ER this morning. That’s more than double the amount we’ve gotten in any previous cycle, and it sure beats the 7 we got last cycle. Obviously they won’t all be mature, but it’s a good start. I’m pretty sore but am faring ok as long as I keep popping Tylenol.

I am back home now and am very glad about that fact. It’s so freaking good to be home.

I’ll get the fertilization phone call sometime tomorrow. Until then I’ll be sucking down Gatorade like it’s going out of style.

Wow. I hope you get some great embryos out of that batch. And good luck on the OHSS. Don’t know much about it but it sure sounds painful.
