Good news today I am finally ready to take my HCG trigger shot!!! My egg retrieval is scheduled for Wednesday morning. My scan this morning showed 5-6 good follicles, praying they all have eggs in them. So once my eggs are retrieved they will be placed into a dish in an incubator, a couple hours later my husbands sperm will be injected into the dish. There are two methods for IVF the other includes injecting the sperm directly into the eggs. As our issue is low count this is not necessary so we only need the sperm injected into the dish. By Wednesday afternoon we should know how many eggs have fertilized. From there we will get daily updates on how our embryos are developing. Each day the cells should divide and by day 5 we are hoping for 6 to 8 cell embryos. Our goal is to have two placed back in and a couple to freeze. The likelihood is that we won't have anything to freeze given my low reserve of eggs.
So this time next week I should be PUPO (Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise). We return 16 days later to have my beta checked to see if the process was successful. I won't be able to wait that long so I intend on testing on my own home pregnancy tests.
