It's was a cold Saturday morning (but little traffic due to the weekend) as we reported today for our blood/sono appt. Our BABY Swiss continues to age nicely, and the count is now up to 17 follies according to the sonogram. The average of the lot is 15.5mm, with the specs:
19mm (the Red-Headed one), 18, 18, 18, 18, 17, 17, 16, 16, 15, 15, 14, 14, 13, 13, 10, 10.
We recieved a phone call from the clinic earlier this morning instructing us to take our HCG shot tonight at 2130. So after that shot, Gena will have a couple of days off from shots and then be down to one shot a day. Based on our HCG shot timing, we'll go back tomorrow morning for a blood draw and then Monday morning for the retrieval; that will set up a Thursday transfer.
Overall, we are doing great...eager, hopeful, and humble as we enter this portion of the program. We had a blast spending time with Spark and Gina at their place yesterday evening and then again with them this morning during the Pentagon tour that they took us on. They got a phone call right after we did saying that they would be taking their HCG shot tonight as well...giving them the same retrieval and transfer days....good news all around.
That's all for now...next big update will be on Monday, when we know how many eggs they obtained during retrieval and how many are successfully fertilized.
Until then
Blessings be yours
Chad, Gena, Nash, and Teebo
