7 Eggs

It was another early morning for us and we were at the clinic by 8:15. The process was pretty easy and the only traumatic part for me was getting the IV. The procedure lasted about 30 minutes and the doctor was able to retrieve 7 eggs. Of those, 5 were mature so that's how many will be fertilized. As the doctor typically hopes to have at least 6 eggs, we contemplated freezing the 5 eggs and banking them for the next time, but decided to move forward with the ones we have. We get the fertilization report tommorow so need lots of good thoughts and prayers for those 5 eggs!! I'm still exhausted from the anesthesia and pain medicine so am heading to bed.
