So, I'm back. I've gotten lots of messages and such from people checking in, etc. Thanks so much to those who have taken the time to call - it means a lot, even if I can't really talk right now.
Physically, I feel fine. The retrieval was really no big deal. The waiting in the morning, until I got the IV, with no food/water was the worst part. I took a percocet on the way home, and everything is nice and chilled out . . .
I'm struggling to stay positive about the count. They were able to retrieve 5 eggs. I feel incredibly disappointed about that. I know it sounds like a good number, but the attrition rate in the lab is high, and right now, we'll be lucky to have a couple to make it to a day 3 transfer. My hopes of making it to a day 5 blastocyst transfer are more or less squashed. So, I guess you could say I'm pretty crushed about that.
I don't think I'd be so devastated if I knew that our insurance is now officially maxed with this one IVF attempt. I don't know how we will move forward if this is unsuccessful, but I can't really let myself think about that right now.
Tomorrow I'll get the fertility report, which means we'll learn how many fertilized and how well they are dividing, etc. So I guess I'll post then.
Thanks for checking in,
-kelly
