Well I wasn't quite ready for the egg retrieval today so it's scheduled for tomorrow. The u/s tech was really pleased with my follicles yesterday and I triggered last night. I am more scared and nervous since this will my first IVF and not quite knowing how I am going to feel afterward. DH even told me last night that he is nervous too given our past 2 miscarriages with IUI. Anyway just trying to take it one day at a time and I am glad that all the shots are done with yeah!!! I hope I can just get a good night's sleep tonight.
Sending lots of baby dust!!
Thanks for all the prayers and support it really mean a lot! Since those of you here are the only others who know besides the RE's office and my DH. The egg retrieval went well I had 13 eggs retrieved on Friday the 13th, how lucky is that??? I am pretty sore and crampy still and my heating pad has become my best friend. I didn't sleep well last night as I don't normally sleep on by back and it was way too uncomfortable to try laying on my sides and I didn't even try laying on my stomach. The RE did give me an Rx for hydrocodone so that has helped too.
As for the good news: the office called me back this morning and 12 of the 13 eggs fertilized!!!
The most they will allow us to transfer is 3 so that is the plan since I am older and if it doesn't work this time I am happy that we are going to have some extras. Now we are just waiting to find out the quality of the embryos and whether it will be a 3 or 5 day transfer.
As to your question about the progesterone I am taking the pill form (endometrin) placed you know where morning and night. When I had my IUI's I had the messy suppositories. These ones are much better and I am glad it's not the shot ones as I have been poked enough these past few weeks.
Hope everyone else is doing well and enjoying the Holiday weekend!
So glad to hear that things are going well so far!! I'll be praying for your embies! 13 on the 13th. Lucky indeed

Glad you had a good time! DH and I didn't like Le Cellier either.
AFM ~ DH's Urologist appointment is tomorrow. Praying for some blood work and hopefully ultimately a prescription for something that may help our situation.
