Sonogram 2

We went in for a sonogram on Saturday. Everything looked good. The follicles were growing nicely. Kelly is starting to get uncomfortable. Ladies, imagine that time of the month when you ovulate. You can feel a little bloated and crampy just for one egg right? Well, imagine having 20+!! She is feeling unbelievably bloated and quite sensitive in the abdominal area. She's a trooper though.

Now we fast forward to today. Kelly went in for her last sonogram. Great news! We have 15 mature eggs for retrieval. The average is 10 to 12. My wife is such an over achiever. She has to give herself a shot of Ovidrel tonight which is supposed to induce ovulation. Then on Wednesday we go in for the retrieval.

The retrieval is kind of a big deal because they will have to put her under. From that point our eggs are in the hands of the embryologist who will fertilize the eggs and monitor them for about 5 days. We are guessing they will put them back in next Monday or so....we hope.

Everyone please keep Kelly in your thoughts. We are very excited!!!
