Well my egg retrieval was yesterday morning. It took more time to get prepped then it did to actually retrieve the eggs. Going into this I knew that I don't have many follicles, but I still hoped that by some miracle they would get more eggs. Unfortunately that didn't happen, we only got 4 eggs. I have to say that the process was more painful then expected. I don't believe that the medications worked on me at all. Afterwards you are left feeling like someone kicked you several times in the gut.
I was pretty depressed all day yesterday, worried that we won't have any eggs progress. I think what is making me so stressed is knowing from my fertility forms how many eggs the average people get and how so many don't progress. It's not uncommon for someone to go from 30 eggs to only having less then 10 embryos. I'm just hoping to have two survive at this point. I know it isn't realistic to hope for something to freeze.
So today I got my fertilization report, three fertilized. I'm happy with this as I know it could have been worse. Praying for a good update again tomorrow. Come on embries grow, grow, grow.
