Science Experiment

I am starting to feel like me and my eggs are a science experiment LOL. I met with Dr. D on Wednesday and all the necessary papers have been signed. I think there were more than when I purchased my house. There were a lot. But we decided, well he did and I agreed because after all he is the doctor and I am 37 1/2 years old, that we would do ICSI to rule out any disagreements between my eggs and the donor sperm. We are joining them together whether they like each other or not. And then we are utilizing the assisted hatching technique where they "clean off" the edge of the egg to give it a better chance of attaching to the uterus. So tentative egg retrieval is January 18th. Obviously this depends on CD 1 as I am to quit taking the BC pills on 1/1/10 - Happy New Year!

I have the mock embryo transfer on 12/28 to make sure there are no issues with my uterus. And I have to have more blood work done to make sure the doctor knows the status of my ovaries and make sure I have no diseases that would cause issue.

So here's to hoping that the IVF cycle #1 works! And Happy Holidays!
