Just our luck!!!

At 2:00am this morning, Luis wakes me and says do you hear that noise? I said what noise? He says it sounds like water dripping! He gets up to look at our vanity area and both faucets are off, then he walks into where the toilet is and steps into a pile a water! He said our tank cracked and was leaking water!

I went to get some towels and I hear drip, drip drip. I quickly grabbed him to tell him its leaking downstairs. Thank God Luis had put in recessed lighting so the water went straight through our tile upstairs down through the pot holes splashing on to our couch and ottoman. They were soaked:( One good thing about it dripping on both of those, is that it protected our beautiful wood flooring!!! Can you even imagine how horrible that would be? He drained the tank and took out the pot hole casings and put buckets down. It finally stopped but now we have to replace the toilet and pray that there is no water damage! Seriously??? The timing could not be worse!

Egg retrieval CHECK!!!

So I had my egg retrieval yesterday. It went well. They retrieved 12 eggs total. Out of the 12 eggs 9 were good enough to inject. Out of those 9 eggs 7 fertilized!!! Most likely my embryo transfer will still be on Saturday 7/30 so I will know more that morning:)
As far as today goes, I am in a lot of pain. My ovaries are still very large so I am feeling a lot of pressure. This will go away, sooner than later I hope!

Egg Retrieval set

So now I have been going to see Dr. Werlin daily. Today during my appointment he told me that  my Egg Retrieval would be Wednesday. I go in again tomorrow morning for bloodwork. Wednesday I check into the surgery center at 8:15 am. The actual surgery is at 9:15 am. I always end up having a 3 day transfer which would put me at Saturday July 30th:) I will post quantity details when I get home Wednesday. Tonight I take my HCG trigger shot at 10:15 pm sharp with my last shot of Ganirelix so only two tonight! Wooo hoooo! Sure beats the 4 injections I have been getting every night. Stay tuned:)

Monday & Wednesday appointments

Monday and Wednesday appointments pretty much the same. I have about 7 follicles on my left and 7-8 on my right. Follicles are potential eggs. Today the largest was a 12mm which would explain my ovary pain. They are expanding nice and big to house these follies. Still getting mirgraines:( Next appointment is Friday.
