20 my new favorite number

My retrieval was on Saturday 8/9 and they got 25 eggs and 22 were mature. But here is the best news: 20 of them fertilized!!!!!!!! I am so in shock and so hopeful!!!! It's hard for me to admit hopefulness and happiness because I've just felt so dejected through all of this, but I really think this could be it for us!!! They tentatively set up a 3 day transfer but the doctor seemed conficent that we would be able to do a 5 day transfer on Thursday.

On the needle front... holy PIO!!!! That needle is freaking huge and it scared the crap out of my when Jamie was going to do the first one. It turns out that I am a huge wuss and I totally freaked him out. So much so that he couldn't (or maybe wouldn't do it) so I do them and he helps. I just hope we're doing them correctly.

Ok well keeping our fingers crosed and staying relaxed :)
