Poked and Prodded February 24, 2010
That’s how I always feel after ER, and rightly so, I guess. Poor ovaries.
This morning went well, though. It was a little odd, because while this was obviously not my first time at this, it was my first time without any hand holding. Adam was of course not invited to the party, so he and Dan did a few things in the surrounding area while I was in the office. It was ok being on my own, though.
Before I even got my IV, I got to talk to one of the lab workers. She said that they had already thawed our sperm and that it looked good. I told her I was nervous about the thaw, and she said that they were too given the situation, but that it looked like we should have enough for all of my eggs.
ER went fine. My preliminary egg report was “at least 10.” I’ll take that, for sure.
Now we wait for the fertilization report tomorrow. We’ve always had decent fert rates in the past, but I know not to get complacent when it comes to this stuff. So, we’ll just cross our fingers and hope for the best until we find out otherwise.

Oh, I hope the sperm thaw went as good as she made it sound. Sounds like you have something to be excited about!
So glad that the thaw looks good! I am sure you are on pins and needles waiting for tomorrow…at least 10 eggs sounds great though. Funny how that happens. I was always surprised at how my egg count when up when I got my fert reports.
Crossing my fingers for you!
Amanda, I haven’t checked in on you since last spring and for some inexplicable reason I did today and saw this. WOW! All is crossed for you. Exciting…
Carrie from IVFC way back when
10 is a fabulous number! And “at least” means you might have a lovely surprise waiting for you tomorrow!
Fingers crossed!
Good Luck!!! I am thinking of you. Hope you get a great report tomorrow!!! :) Fingers & toes crossed for you guys!
Thinking of you guys, hope fertilization goes well!
Sounds good so far. Hoping for a good fert report today. Take it easy if you can!
Hi! I followed your journey to Adam 3 years + back, and always stopped by every once in a while to check on you after that. Just clicked on to your blog after a long time, and wow, have things changed :-)
Fingers crossed that all goes well with this cycle.
Fingers crossed for you that everything turns out well.
