Done with EC

I had my EC this morning at the North Shore Specialist Day Surgery. By God's grace, we've overcome another hurdle. Our journey has just begun and we're taking it one step at a time.

I was a bit worried going into theatre this morning. My last ultrasound on Friday showed only 2 large follicles so I was pleasantly surprised when I woke up in recovery and saw 10 on my left palm! We praise and we thank God! I'm feeling fine, though a bit sore. But I can still manage even without pain reliever. Hopefully the pain eases a bit tomorrow. Before we left the surgery, we spoke with the scientist. She said that of my 10 oocytes (or eggs), 8 would surely be injected (with sperm) while they have to wait if the other 2 will progress further. I sure hope all of them develop into nice embryos. But as they say, all it takes is 1 -- so 1 strong one will be perfectly fine. :)

We were told that we will be given a daily update on our embryos' progress. I'm a bit anxious about getting the first update tomorrow. Praying that it's going to be a good update. If all things go according to plan, my embryo transfer is scheduled on Saturday, 7 May.
