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?

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.

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.
