Lauren...Yayyy! 13 is terrific! Usually the rule of thumb that I use for me and my age and issues...is that if I have 13 retrieved that 50% of them make it to 3 days...so 6 or 7 would be the goal and anything above that is even better. 2 yrs ago with Zach's cycle...we got 12 eggs, 10 were mature, 8 fertilized, 3 we put back on day 3, and 2 we lost between day 3 and 5, and the other 3 made it to blast and were frozen on day 5. This is pretty average and typical. This last cycle/last month we got 7 eggs, 6 fertilized, 4 were good, but we went ahead and put the 5th little guy that wasnt going anywhere back in as well. So again, from 7 to 4 and about 50%. Hope this helps on what to expect. HOWEVER...everyone is different. You may have all 13 fertilize and be perfect...but that is extremely rare. Most of the time I've noticed that those who get 30 eggs due to PCOS, end up with only about 10 or so decent ones...so it is not always quantity it is quality, as you have heard everyone say. 13 eggs...is very normal and average. However, when they go in for ER they also often get more or less than what they saw on ultrasound...again very very normal. It's very unusual that they get exactly what they see on ultrasound due to alot of different reasons...so dont be surprised. I dont know why I'm telling you all this...cause I think you already know all this...but eh, good info for anyone else who is new and reading. lol
So I am very upset and worried right now. Bill's nephew's wife's sister (she is my age)...if you can follow that...was watching Zach while we were at retrieval and she had to leave Zach with our nephew...while she took off for the hospital to be with her stupid sister....because she is getting ready to have a c-section right this minute. This mother is only about 5.5 months pregnant...and she is a piece of freakin crap...all of her facebook statuses have been how she is drinking and going to bars every night, etc, etc...and she had no prenatal care and just found out that she is pregnant or she kept it secret, not sure...either way that baby is probably not going to make it. I am sooo pist right now and upset that I could scream. I'm praying sooo hard that this baby makes it...the mother...she can rot in hell.
AFM: Ultrasound went good...the doctor felt that we would be okay afterall...they had to push and push on tha right ovary, but they managed to get 4 eggs out of the right and they even got 2 out of the left! Surprise surprise!! 6 eggs!!! Woohoo!!! The doctor told me that he just happened to be walking by and got a look at one of my eggs on the screen and he said it looked AWESOME...he was really surprised and happy to see that. That really made my day...cause I think that that one is my future baby!!! The not so good news is that they had to put the IV in me 5, yes 5 freakin times!! I am the worse stick there is and I've got bruises appearing all over my hands now. Oh well...other than a little soreness from all the pushing on my tummy that the nurse did...I am doing good. Percocet is my friend. lol I'm about to go get all of us dressed in costume and get ready to go to the costume contest in just a bit and then trick or treat later, too. Praying that I can get through the day without any problems. Thanks for all of your thoughts, prayers, and everything...looks like this cycle is gonna be okay after all.
I'll catch up on more personal tonight. I think I will lay down for 10 minutes.
P.S. Oh and you are not going to believe this...but that stupid crazy cat...jumped up on the bed and hit me in the tummy again! Not even kidding. He knows there is something going on...he has to....he has only done this one other time...and that was the night before my last retrieval!!! Only this time...he sorta hit me, but missed, and didnt get me hard at all this time, Thank God! So weird. I slept on my side all night with a huge pillow blocking my tummy.
