Retrieval Day!


Everything looked great! So today was retrieval Day! We ended up with 4 eggs.  So the eggs and sperm went in the little invocell and I am now incubating them for 5 days! So our next big day is Saturday when we see how many fertilized.  On average it's usually 50% but we will see.

Retrieval was more painful than I thought it would be, but I did have a conscious sedative. One ovary was more behind the uterus so it was harder to get to the follicles. I got to watch her on the ultrasound screen go to follicle and empty it. Pretty neat.

Afterwards I was a little loopy, but Ok. Ben bought me some yummy chicken soup and when I got home I crashed for a while.

Today I cried, today I found out I have a baby in heaven.  And today I choose to trust, trust and hold on to promises I already know. From the beginning we put this in His hands, we have no control over it anyways. Today I was 6.5 weeks and this morning I started bleeding heavier and eventually called the doc and they told me to come on in. They did a vaginal ultrasound, and found I had miscarried. Why do we still have to go through the pain, I don't know but He knows and I continue to choose that he knows what's best for us .   A friend who has gone through infertility and also lost a little one, posted this list a few days ago and it's so good.  "Infertility is a journey. A journey that brings waves of peace then sorrow when least expected.  Truth is what has gotten us through some of these waves:  1. God is good in every situation 🌦 2. His will is all that matters 🎚 3. His ways are higher than mine🏔 4. His plan is better than ...

So had second ultrasound and bloodwork  Monday. Everything looked normal. Little follicles growing slowly like they are supposed to, not crazy fast like last time. Had another ultrasound Thursday,  and some follicles were getting close to size but wanted to let others grow a bit more. Went in Friday for another. Looking good. Retrieval is set for Monday morning! Trigger shot tonight.  A little paranoid today that I'm ovulating early again so going to go in for a check in the morning to just ease my mind . This is no easy road. Emotions and hormones and life just make it crazy. Thankfully I have an awesome hubby who made me a great dinner tonight and helped me relax . Also after praying for peace  God is helping me have peace of mind as well.

So here we are, round two. Last Tues I had my baseline ultrasound and lab work on day one of my cycle.  Everthing looked good. I have been on Lupron for two weeks hopefully making sure my body won't ovulate so early this time . Started my other meds, menopure, Friday night. Grow little follicles. Tomorrow morning I have my second ultrasound and bloodwork. Always lots of emotions involved, you can't help it. Maybe a few more cautions this time, hoping nothing else happens again. It's in God's hands and no matter what, he is in control . So I choose to trust!
