in 2 months

the clinic called this morning to give me the update and asked how i was feeling, um, i feel super crappy, bloated, weak, referred pain in my shoulder, really full and just plain terrible. almost all the pain associated with the retrieval is gone, like the soreness, etc, but they think i may be hyperstimulating, sooo, here is the scoop.

we have 13 excellent eggs, which means on a scale of 1-4 (1 being perfect and 4 being lousy) we have 13 eggs graded at a 1-2 level (which they said was great). however, because i am feeling so lousy, we will probably not do the transfer tomorrow. they will freeze the eggs and wait 2 months, until i am back to normal and 100% to attempt a transfer. what will happen is they will do a thaw cycle which includes 2 weeks of the suprefact nasal spray, 2 weeks of estrade (an estrogen pill) and then if everything goes well, they will transfer the eggs.

i feel kind of bummed right now, it has been a long serious process, and with the transfer tomorrow, i would feel like it was kind of done, BUT, the way i am feeling right now, transfering them in 2 months time will be the best thing.

sooo, that is pretty much it, i have an appointment at 8:30 tomorrow morning, and i don't think much will change in how i feel between now and then (they say it will take 1-2 weeks to start feeling better). so here's to the freezer and 2 months from now.

That sounds like it will be the best. You weren't doing to well yesturday and to add possibly getting pregnant and getting sick would be really hard. At least you will have time to rest up and get feeling better. February is a good month. (ha, ha)

Love, Sandra

Sounds like you are doing the right thing by getting better so that you will be the best possible you before they transplant.

Take care of yourself.
