Embryo Update

JoJo Thursday, October 24, 2013 9 comments
Got the call this morning. Apparently I was one off yesterday. They actually retrieved 25 not 24. Out of 25 17 were matured and out of 17, 15 fertilized. Were off to a good start hoping that they keep growing. I will get another update on Saturday to see how many made it to day 3 and with the appt time for Monday's transfer. 

My pain/uncomfortable feeling has resided but still lingering. Didn't sleep very well yesterday. If it wasn't pain on my pelvis area it was on my shoulders or between my rib cage. I don't know why my shoulders ached but it was a strange throbbing feeling. Got my first P shot this morning and it wasn't as bad as I imagined but I certainly felt it compared to the trigger shot, which was also done intramuscular. 

On the upside of things my mother surprised me this morning with a lovely breakfast. Which made my tummy extremely happy. 


Btw, has anyone taken Medrol? I have to take these for 7 days to prevent inflammation and aid implantation. Not fond of them...they tend to melt right away so u have that strange after taste in ur mouth. Yuck!!

    That is a great fert report!! You're off to such a good start. That breakfast looks fantastic...what a sweet mom you have. I've never taken Medrol and hope someone here can give you some insight.

    Yes, I hate Medrol too! It's disgusting. I throw it in my mouth and pour the water in and swallow as quickly as possible. I think that I only have 2 more days to take that pill!

    I am glad that the pain is residing. :) 15 eggs fertilized is so good! Congrats! :)
