Hi Katie, Here is another photo of your eggs before I froze them and we were really happy with how the eggs looked. We remove the cells surrounding the eggs so we can tell if they are mature. There are 12 eggs in the photo although I ended up freezing 18.
I am still so amazed by all of this! I can't wait to see the pictures of the embryos before they're frozen!
In other news, I'm feeling pretty crappy again today. I am having some of the symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation, but not enough to go to the hospital. Yet. They told me if I have shortness of breath or start throwing up that I need to be seen right away. Hopefully chemo doesn't make me sick. I wont know if I'm sick from that or from hyperstimulation! I guess it can be pretty dangerous, causing blood clots. That's the last thing I need! They told me to take it easy again today which is exactly what I've done. I've slept most of the day. Oh how I can't wait till I can live a normal life again!!
Tomorrow's the big chemo day. I have to be down in Portland at around 8. First I have a blood draw, then an appointment with Dr. Nichols and then chemo. I'm pretty scared, but I just have to keep telling myself it's the only way I'll get better. Mom will be going with me tomorrow. They only allow one person with me, so I decided she'd be the perfect candidate since she's been my #1 caregiver. Joe needs to work and make us money! :) He'll go to the next treatment. This one will last all day, so I didn't want him to miss an entire day of work. Dad has to fly to Arizona tomorrow and Kim and George left for Palm Springs this morning. It feels lonely knowing that they're all gone! At least we're getting back to our normal lives though.
