Egg Retrieval Results

I don't have time to write much, but wanted to give the results to anyone out there who might be wondering:

10 eggs retrieved, 6 mature, 6 ICSIed, and - as of this morning - 6 embryos! 

I was hoping that slightly more eggs would be mature but wasn’t expecting 100 percent of the mature eggs to fertilize, so it balances out and we’re right on track for where I was hoping to be!  To compare, at this point last cycle I had ONE embryo, and three more eggs that were being “rescue ICSIed” (two of which would become embryos, but I’m convinced not very good ones).  So I’m thrilled!!!

My retrieval was actually a pretty funny day so I'm planning on writing about it when I get the chance.  Let's just say that it started with porn and ended with getting high on Vicodin.  Who says IVF takes the fun out of baby making?!?!
