Hey everyone...I am so crabby and cranky, the past few days have been horrid. I got really sick and couldn't keep anything down for 2 days and forget about sleep, there was no way to find comfort. So anyway I call out of work for two days due to the constant vomiting and I get told that if that behavior keeps up that they will have to find a replacement for me. I told them at the interview (I have had the job 1 month) that I was going to be doing IVF and that in the month of June there would be days that I may not be able to work and days I would definately need off, they were fine with it, supportive even...so why the change? They weren't left short-handed.
So that's the work thing, now the IVF thing. We had the retrieval and out of my many ridiculous follies we harvested 14 mature eggs. When I woke up and asked how many eggs I started sobbing when DH said 14. It took a few minutes to calm me and they said that because there were so many they were able to simply pick the best of the crop. I am still miffed that I wasn't told before the retrieval...
Out of the 14 eggs, 9 fertilized and we go tomorrow morning for the transfer of the 3 best. I can't wait to hear how they are doing. DH thinks the embies are lonely.
So I have some posts to catch up on now, I just had to get that out of my system.
Helen- Thankyou for the information. Atleast I will know if my embryos are strong by making it though the freezing process. How are you feeling?
kp1212- I wanted to thankyou for your kind words.
I have to vent right now... I went in for my day 9 bloods and ultrasound at 8:45am. They were supposed to give me a call back. It is now 9:40pm and nothing. I really hate when they do this. Now, hopefully I can reach an ivf nurse before they go in for retrivals and transfers. This really ***** and it is very frustrating.
Hang in there girl! My fingers and toes are crossed for you.

I remember the embryologist saying that freezing at the egg stage and at the blast stage has the highest chances of survival through thawing.
So sorry you have to wait a full cycle for transfer. That sounds really stressful. I hope it works though.
Thankyou Helen,
The smaller are less than 6, so I'm not holding my breath. I just wanted more this cycle because I'm not doing a transfer this month. We are actually going to freeze all the embryos and do the transfer next month. I'm worring about the thawing process,just because I was told that some follicles don't make it through that.
