We had our first doctor's appointment this morning and everything looks great. I had an ultrasound and all is well. Miran had some blood and other tests. We spent a lot of time in the waiting room and there were at least five other couples there, two were American, one from the UK, one from Ireland, and the others we didn't hear talking so don't know.
We also learned that the retrieved 12 eggs this morning and that 10 were viable. The fertilized those ten this afternoon. At 1:00 tomorrow we can call and they will tell us how many viable embryos we have. It seems highly likely we'll have 5 or 6 - which is exciting. So all plans are set for a transfer on day 5, which means next Saturday. But this is really exciting - they said they average 6-10 eggs retrieved, so we are very optimistic we'll have two really great ones. The doctor said if we transfer two eggs he estimates our odds of pregnancy at 70%.
And I got some additional medication (progesterone) that I'm supposed to take for the next 10 weeks! It is cheaper here so I bought a lot, and it comes in huge boxes, so I think we'll need to buy a new bag to get it home in!
Enjoy the next five days!
ReplyDeletethanks - and we will - see previous post on fun day in Prague for us having fun!
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous! Your stats are ahead of ours so far- we had 11 eggs, 8 viable, and 5 embryos. I think you will definitely get at least 2 great embryos and have a very exciting life in about 40 weeks!

If they retrieved the eggs this morning, does that mean that the donor was in the building?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad your first Dr visit went well! And so far everything seems right on track. Now you can relax and have fun for a few days. Drink plenty of wine in case you aren't able to for awhile . . . .
