Egg retrieval was yesterday. I wrote a card for the donor thanking her... that was an interesting experience. It made it so real putting all my thoughts into words and realizing what she did for us.
If the situation was reversed, I don't think I could donate my eggs. Yet she did it. I just think it is amazingly generous!
So they retrieved 21 eggs. I got the call a couple of hours ago that 17 of those were mature and 11 fertilized.
Right now, across town, we have 11 little embryos growing!
This is the first time I have gotten this far in the process, and it feels like the night before Christmas. I am so excited and have butterflies and life is just rich with hope and possibilities!
If all goes well on Monday I will be pregnant for the first time in my 38 years. That thought is so overwhelming!!!!
