Day 38: Big Day #1

Today is Big Day #1 - Egg Retrieval! We've been waiting for this day for quite sometime. 37 days to be exact. But in a lot of ways the entire 2 years we've been trying has led up to this day.

My blood work from yesterday morning showed a big jump in my estrodiol level. It is now at 4,500 (up from 2,500) the day before. Each mature follicle will produce ~150-300 units of Estradiol, so based on my current level we'd suspect anywhere from 15-30 eggs to be harvested today.

I am about 75% excited going into today's surgery and 25% scared. The scared % took over last night on my drive home from work. The weight of everything we've gone through and will go through all hit me at once and I began to sob...
