Countdown!
Jul. 27th, 2014 12:12 amIt's official - we are on the clock for the next phase. Tonight were the final shots (for a couple of days, at least) to flip my ovaries from "Not Yet" to "Now now now!", and tomorrow my MiL is coming to stay with the Emperor while we overnight a couple of hours away. The eggstraction will be Monday morning, oh-so-early, and then depending on the fertilization results, we'll go in Thursday or Saturday for the implantation.
Now is the nervous time of waiting and patience, with so many points of potential trouble. I'm hoping for at least 8 good eggs for maximum chances, and at least half of those to fertilize and grow into healthy blobs. What comes of that step gets implanted. Theoretically we could have more than 3, in which case we'd freeze them, but that didn't happen in the previous rounds. After that is the dreaded two week wait, with the pregnancy test scheduled for the day after I get back from Vividcon. I am so glad to have that to distract me, even if it means I won't be drinking.
Even with a positive pregnancy test, I'm still not totally in the clear; I won't be breathing easy until the end of the first trimester.
Body, we can do this!
