Alright we got the go ahead to do our Trigger shot tonight. This shot is going to do the opposite of what the ganirelix (suppressed ovulation) did. It's called Lupron and it will send in a sense a message to the brain to release the LH hormone to start ovulation. Exactly 36 hours from 8:00pm tonight we will have Egg retrieval. It's scheduled for 8:00am Saturday morning. After the Egg retrieval they will fertilize the eggs with the semen through the ICSI procedure (injection a single sperm into a single egg with a needle). After that we will get updates for five days after fertilization to see how our embryos are growing they will grow in the lab for those five days and then they will freeze how many embryos make it to day 5.
We aren't doing a traditional IVF like I've said in previous posts we are doing a Freeze all cycle which mean after the five day growing stage in the lab they will freeze all the embryos and in about 4-6 weeks we will be transferring 1-2 embryos back into the uterus. I will still have to have the fibroids removed from my uterus sometime after retrieval and before transfer but I'll keep you all updated on that as it comes.
We are staying positive and really can't believe we are doing this it feels so surreal But its happening and we couldn't be happier. Please keep us in your prayers that we have mulitple mature healthy eggs that will fertilize and that we may have multiple embryos make it to freezing and they will stay healthy and make it to transfer day.
Thank you so much for all your love, support, and prayers
