Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Retrieval Updates – Twitter

December 10, 2008 — 11:21 pm

Replacing the twitter feed with the posts from that day and the day following.

We have 2 embryos!!!!! 9:12 AM Dec 12th from mobile web

I am so scared that one isn’t going to fertilize. 7:47 PM Dec 11th from TwitterFox

Eating a complete meal not such a great idea right now. Oh so uncomfortable. Bleh. 7:18 PM Dec 11th from TwitterFox

Dr mentioned another research paper he read which has something else to try next time – using a different type of drugs. There’s still hope. 4:32 PM Dec 11th from TwitterFox

Dr. Just called to let me know the initial evaluation of my eggs… only one is mature enough to ICSI. I’m disappointed, but not surprized. 3:45 PM Dec 11th from TwitterFox

And the winner was: 38 eggs!! 9:54 AM Dec 11th from mobile web

Had nightmares all night that they wouldn’t let me do the retrieval. But I feel better so it really was a stomach ache! 6:05 AM Dec 11th from TwitterFox

    I just wanted to encourage you…my parents tried for 5 years before they ever had a baby…they went to the docter and tryed everything. Then one day, they just prayed and gave their fertility up to the Lord. Soon after, they found out they were expecting twins!!! 15 years later, they have a total of 8 children:) God is good!
    May you be blessed~

    Okay, I was damn close with 36. 38 is a lot. Are you feeling okay? Take it easy tonight.

  13. Karen says:

    Holy cow, Natalie. 38 is unreal! I hope you are doing well tonight. They’re only going to ICSI one but will they try natural fertilization with the rest? Maybe there’s a couple of come-from-behind eggs there.

  14. KC says:

    Ok, so if only one is mature enough to ICSI what happens to the others? are they just too immature and cannot fertilize at all or will/can they continue to grow at all? you are on my mind…i have been waiting to hear about your eggs. the next hurdle is for that egg to turn into a beautiful embryo. i will be waiting on pins and needles ((((HUGS))))

  15. Lyanna says:

    Jenna, I think that is possibly the worst comment I’ve read in a long time on this blog. Could you please go and “spread the word” somewhere else?

  16. N says:
