Good News!

I had a pretty good night last night. Went to bed around 8 with the help of a vicodin for the pain and woke up around 3 to use the restroom and again at 7 for the same reason. I lost 4 lbs overnight so I feel like my risk for OHSS is going down as I am not retaining fluid.

The nurse called to check on me this morning and was relived that I was feeling good. She handed the phone to the embryologist who let us know that out of the 25 eggs retrieved, 18 were mature and 14 fertilized! So currently we've got 14 embryos chillin in petri dishes :) They are pretty sure that some of the embies will make it to blast stage and that our transfer will be on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to getting the report on Sunday to let us know how they are doing. 

Here are two graphics for you non-experienced IVFers (meaning pretty much everyone I know!)

Overall, I'm a bit bored laying in bed and not looking forward to three more days of bed rest next week. All my family is headed up to my uncle's lake house in Michigan to celebrate my Grandpa's 75th birthday. I'm sad to be missing out on a fun weekend but know that being here is for the best :) I think Jay and I may go see a movie tonight to help pass time. Calls, emails, and texts have all been greatly appreciated!
