So I had my baseline ultrasound yesterday. I have 21 eggs! Yeah! I was so nervous that I would go and they would say I didn't have any and we would have to cancel this cycle. I told the doctor that, and she said not have any?! That's silly, of course you have eggs! I know I know, but I was just expecting the worst. I start my two other shots tomorrow (follicle stimulating hormones) and hopefully a week from Monday I will do the egg retrieval. They hope out of the 21 eggs at least half will mature (10 ish) and half of those will fertilize (5) and half of those will be strong enough to transfer back to me (2-3). We will put one or two in depending on how healthy they are and then freeze any extra. I have had a strong feeling to put two in. I don't know how I would handle twins. It would be extremely overwhelming but very fun too. I am nervous about the 2% chance that each egg can split. That means I have a chance I could have quadruplets if I put two eggs in. Ahh! God would sure have a funny sense of humor if that happened. It's a lot to think about but hopefully we make the right decision. I would be so bummed if we only put one in and it didn't take. I would be kicking myself for not putting two.... On the other hand if I end up with 4 babies I might end up in a crazy hospital.
Yesterday as I was at the doctors office I bent down to take my pants off and I had an electric shock go down my back and into my leg. I found out a few weeks ago I have 2 herniated discs. I know it probably doesn't sound like a good time to try to get pregnant.... Pray this pain goes away and it won't interfere with IVF. I can't imagine having to cancel it and making these weeks of medicine and shots all worth nothing.
