U of I is a great place. Everyone is so nice, helpful, friendly....everything you hope for when you're scared and unsure. I was taken back to the procedure room and the nurses were joking with me (trying to relax me I'm sure) about how tall I am, how great my socks were (Go Steelers!) and how much they loved my hair. I'm a sucker for flattery and soon enough I was relaxed and ready to go (I'm sure the drugs helped as well). Dr. Duran did my retrieval which I was very happy about since he did our initial consultation and we really really like him.

Tomorrow we will get our embryo report and with Steve and I being the overachievers that we are, we are expecting no less from our little embryos. The transfer will either be on Day 3 (Sunday) or Day 5 (Tuesday). Fingers crossed for day 5!!
Thank you for all of the well wishes and prayers- we appreciate it more than you know.

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear things went so well! Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way for a great report tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWow, great numbers!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the numbers on the Fert report!!!!
I don't know if I can hope any harder or cross any more fingers and toes but I'm gonna try. I love you so much and I am really pulling for you guys! So proud. So overwhelmed. And so hopeful. Love you.
ReplyDeleteYay! Congrats on a great retrieval! I'll just think of those as Hawkeye socks since I'm a Seahawks fan. :)
ReplyDeleteStill, awesome socks!
Excellent report! Love the socks! Praying for you and your embryos!
ReplyDeleteGood report, glad to hear things went well.
ReplyDeleteThe socks and Christa's comments triggered a memory of reading somewhere that you are in the quad cities somewhere and that your U of I is University of Iowa in Iowa City. I had to check back on some of your old posts to be sure though.
I spent 4 years there for graduate school in the little speech and hearing center right next to the hospital near the parking garages. I also did several rotations through the Otolaryngology department in that hospital. One of my really good friends still works there. What a great facility to be able to go to!!!
If they still have it, go enjoy a little chocolate cream/mousse cake (for me) in the big cafeteria next time you find yourself there.
Great numbers! Cheering for you!
ReplyDeleteGreat numbers, and glad it went well! 8 of mine were mature also, so maybe it's a lucky number!
ReplyDeleteWooHoo!!! So happy for your good lil embabies :)
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic!!! Glad everything went so well.
ReplyDeleteHere in Naperville we're all hoping that the Baby Palace will soon encase the most wonderful additions to your family.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! I have never been through the IVF process myself. But do have friends who have. I will pray for a perfect lil outcome!
ReplyDeleteCheers to new friends!
