November 19, 2008 - 2 weeks

Today is egg retrieval day.

That means we are officially 2 weeks PUPO (pregnant until proven otherwise).

The procedure includes taking a long needle and inserting it into my ovaries. The RE will then aspirate each follicle with the hopes of pulling a mature egg out of each follicle.

From there, they will determine how many are mature and of good quality for ICSI. A procedure where they inject one sperm into each egg.

In total they retrieved 10 eggs and after inspection it was determined that we had 8 mature eggs for possible fertilization.

This has been the most mature eggs we've ever had in our previous 4 cycles so we're pretty pleased.

95% fear and 5% hope.
