Woohoo

Last night was my last hormone injection! Jeremy had to give me two shots last night. The first one at 8:00 was the same cocktail of hormones I've been getting for the past week, but then at 11:00 last night, he had to give me a second and final injection. This was the HcG shot to mature my eggs. It has to be given exactly 36 hours before the egg retrieval. So excited to not be a pin cushion/dart board any longer! We leave for Little Rock this afternoon. We are scheduled for egg retrieval surgery tomorrow morning at 11:00. After the doctors retrieve all my mature eggs, they will then fertilize each one by a process called 'Intracytoplasmic sperm injection' (ICSI for short). Basically they take one sperm and insert it into each egg using a needle finer than a human hair! Amazing isn't it? Then they watch them to see how many eggs become fertilized and how many embryos eventually form. Here's to safe travels and an abundance of eggs!
