And they're off!

My nurse just called while I was sleeping with great news. She said out of my 16 eggs ALL were mature and that 12 of them have fertilized! She said that is a great report! I realize all 12 won't continue to grow but I am very pleased with the initial number. She also said that it is totally understandable for me to feel like crap and that I should just take it easy and rest. I just called Dh and told him he is a daddy to 12 embies! Please pray that my little embies continue to grow nice and strong!

A dozen eggs! FAB - U - LUS.

Take it easy and rest up.
You never know, they may all grow, all of mine that fertilized (8 out of 10) did grow, so it's possible :)

Sorry you are feeling so much pain, sometimes it takes me a week or even two for the swelling to go down and things to feel normal again. But, hey, it has to be worth it for 12 embryos!? Great news!

I'll be thinking of you and willing those little cells to divide and conquer, so you don't have to do this again.
