It's a cold one this 20th day of Jan. After enjoying a great evening with the Ogawa's, we checked in this morning to the clinic at 0630 for our retrieval surgery. After patiently waiting an hour and 45 minutes, things finally got rolling and Gena was first into the operating room. It was a short procedure (less than 25 minutes from the time they walked her in until the time they wheeled her out and into the recovery room. Our number of "follies" had fluctuated between a low of 12 and a high of 17 (at our last sonogram)...after the procedure, the doctor informed us that they retrieved 10 eggs; Chad's numbers came back with a count of 24M and 100% for motility and progression....all of which means the embryologists will be fertilizing them via ICSI (pictured above left) ate this morning. We will get a phone call tomorrow with the number that were successfully fertilized and what time we will show on Thursday for the transfer. 10 is a good number...though tomorrow's number of successfully fertilized eggs will be the more meaningful number...it truly is all in God's hands. Gena did very well during the procedure and will be resting today. Tonight, we'll start the one-a-day progesterone shots for two weeks (and hope for an additional 4 weeks of shots, because that will mean we are pregnant.) Thank you for your continued support and prayers for us and our friends Sparky and Gina. We'll post another update tomorrow after the clinic calls Love from DC Chad, Gena, Nash, and Teebo
