Tick Tock....

goes the clock!  My IVF is going well, it just seems in a way that time is dragging on!  In other ways time is flying by.  Depends on how busy my day has been!

I'm finished with half of my meds and my eggs grew all they would.  They drug out the process just a little longer and stressed "quality over quantity".  I went in for my retrieval on Saturday the 23rd.  I was a little sore afterward but we ended up with 8 eggs.  Everyone else that was there were getting 3 and 4.  I was pretty excited about this.  They told me (as well as everyone else) that fertilization rate was normally about 80%.  They called the next day to let me know my fert rate and it was 100%!  We are very excited about this.  This still does not mean that we are guaranteed anything, but I'm feeling a little better about it. 

My transfer date is scheduled for this Thurs, the 28th.  I have a feeling that the doc will suggest transferring 2, and we will freeze the rest to use later if we wish.  After Thurs I am to take it easy and wait for 2 weeks for a blood test to confirm pregnancy.  I am going to go insane!  I need some suggestions for some good books/movies!!  I'm trying to not get worked up over too much (thought the $382 electric bill I got today didn't help!) but for the most part, I'm doing ok!

So, that's about it for IVF right now.  On another note, my Uncle Jerome is a celebrity.  Check out the article the Benton Evening News did on him:

How cool is that?!


Since time is ticking away in the Fralick household, I have lots that needs to be done.  I don't really feel like it though, maybe I'll just sit in the chair and listen to the clock tick tock......it may be some of the last silent moments in this house this year....hopefully!
