Retrieval

Egg retrieval was this morning.  M texted me at about 9 to say they had a preliminary count of 13.  I didn't realize that they did that last time too-- preliminary count of 9, and then they looked under the microscope and found 13 total.  Well, this time when they did the final count they found (drumroll) 18!  Sperm count was also super-high at 140 mil, so WOOHOO!  Can't ask for better than that.

13 is our lucky number, so I'll revise the mature egg guess to 13.  :)

18 retrieved
13 mature
9 fertilized
7 Day 3
5 Day 5 - transfer 2
2 to freeze on Day 6

Making cycle predictions is my new favorite pasttime.

M seems to think they may not call with the fertility report tomorrow, but they'd better!  Last time, I updated the blog at 11:00 am with the fertility report, so I'll start looking for it about then.  I'll actually be in the car headed towards Houston at that time.  There's a surrogacy get-together in Sugar Land sponsored by an agency I've never worked with, so it's time to do some networking!

They have our transfer tentatively scheduled for Monday at 12:30, but I feel pretty confident Barb will call that morning to cancel.  Again, looking back at the blog, it looks like she called at about 10 last time.  I hope it's not later than that, because if I need to get to Houston, I'd need to get on the road!
