Out of 16 eggs retrieved, 11 were ICSIed (I assume that means 5 were not mature), and of those, 9 fertilized. I wish it were more, but that's not too shabby for a (cough), almost 37 year old. Last time we had 8 fertilize and I had one to freeze. Now the question is whether it will be a 3 day transfer (Sunday) or a 5 day transfer (Tuesday). I'm guessing Sunday, but who knows.
Tomorrow I will go to work and make sub plans for Monday, Tuesday, AND Wednesday, just so I am prepared. It is really a pain to tell someone how to do your job all day! My plans are usually at least three pages, typed.
Meanwhile at the ranch, I am hating the doxycycline or the Medrol. I'm not sure which I hate more, probably the Medrol (which, even for the millisecond it is on my tongue, tastes like what I can only imagine cow dung might taste like). And it makes me nauseous.
I am still sore a bit when I am up and about. I was really tired after work today, but twenty noisy kids will do that to a person.
I got the OK from the nurse to do the PIO shots in the evening! She was like, "if you really want to, it should be fine". It sounded like the reason they prefer for you to do them in the morning is because you are up and active and it has more time to work through your system before you're in bed. It's just such a pain to do them in the morning though. It's one extra thing to do before rushing out of the door, and the husband, bless his heart, doesn't see the urgency to get me out the door. Plus, if I want to sleep in on the weekend, and I don't mean just an extra hour, I should be able to! Especially if I'm all busy making a human being! So, I start this evening.

Nine is a great number! Hoping they all keep dividing and growing! Have a great weekend and prepare to be PUPO soon!
Congrats on the 9!
FWIW, I do PIO at night. I think that's what my RE said to do...
Nine is divine!!! (sorry, couldn't resist!) Can you believe you are so close to transfer? Scary & exciting at the same time, huh?. My positive thoughts are with you & your embies.. grow babies!!! :)
That's a great number! I'm crossing my fingers for a 5dt for you!!!
Great fert report!
I hate sub plans! So not fair- other jobs don't have to do that.
I did my PIO at night and it was fine.
I can't wait to hear about transfer.
Woo-hoo! Tell those ovaries that we KNEW they could do it!
9 is really good!! Praying those babies keep dividing!! :)
((hugs))
9 is awesome!! Best of luck to your little embabies. Keeping everything crossed over here. :)
Yea for 9! Thinking of you!
Sweet! Nine is a great number! Hoping they are working hard at dividing. :D Writing lesson plans does completely blow. Mine are usually two typed pages though! :D
Yay!
Fingers crossed that this is IT for you guys.
Hugs!
Nine is a good round number & it is better than 50%.
Good Luck for transfer,whether it be day 3 or 5.
Nine eggs is amazing! That is wonderful. Now you just need to get one to stick. I hope and pray this is your cycle. Its your turn dang it!
*fingers crossed and hugs*
wonderful numbers!! use a heating pad after the PIO, really helps.
Wow! 9 is great!! It feels like a lucky baby weekend!! I go in for IUI #5 in am! Hope to have a July baby with you! Well not With you but with you Ha!! Good Luck and baby dust!!
Wow, 9 is brilliant - congratulations, and good luck for the transfer. I love your comment about the car jack - that's exactly what it's like!
Great news! This is so much farther than you expected to make it.
PJ, you already have little lives growing. Be proud.
Great fert report! Congrats!
Yay for a great fert report!
Sending lots of growing vibes for the embies!
Wow, so *that's* what it's like to have a clinic that listens to you... weird. You just ask a question, offer explanation, and they are flexible? Amazing...
I started out doing mine at night, but moved earlier and earlier each day (more recently so I could have them done when the clinic is open).
NINE! WOW! That is SO awesome! I'll be eagerly waiting to hear whether they end up doing a day 3 or day 5 transfer (and each additional step along the way as well, of course!).
