It's official... Dr. Shamma confirmed and scheduled our egg retrieval for Thursday at 11:30 am! Nathan and I are very excited. I'm a little nervous, but mostly excited. I am done with the stimming shots... Yay! I have a trigger shot tonight at 11:30 pm. No shots on Wednesday, then I'll do a few Progesterone shots which are important to creating a healthy and nurturing womb. Women's bodies naturally create Progesterone, but since they pretty much shut all that down with the very first shot... we have to manually inject it otherwise... any transfers wouldn't stand a chance.
While they're harvesting my eggs, Nathan will do his part, and they will be immediately fertilized. Then on Friday, we'll get a call about the status of our zygotes, as they are called. Its all just very exciting... almost overwhelming.
Have questions?? ... Just use the comment option to ask!
Hey Kelly-- when will they ummmmm put the fertilized zygotes back in their warm home??
ReplyDeleteHey Kelly! I love keeping up with this journey through your blog! I've been dying to know how you make the decision re: numbers? I mean, how many eggs to fertilize, how many to implant, etc? Or do the doctors tell you/guide you? In so many ways this has made me realize what a complex and confusing mystery fertility is...God sure did not make this a simple process!
