Stimulation Day 8

Had a little bit of a scare over the weekend. Thought I had ovulated and was all worried that I had ovulated away $22K. Called nurse and she assured me that it was just the higher hormone levels that were causing the ovulation symptoms. Had bloodwork and ultrasound today and all was well. Today we had 8 eggs that met the criteria. Survival of the fittest at it's finest. We started with 20, then went to 14, now we are at 8. And then we just had to wait for the bloodwork to come back. We anxiously waited and at 2:15 got the call that all was good for an early retrieval on Wednesday the 13th! Yikers! Just 2 days away. One last shot of Ganirelix and then HCG tonight. Boy, was that another ordeal. I cried like a baby again. Not sure why that has freaked me out like it has, but Baby Daddy has been super supportive and understanding and helped me through it. Tonight I began looking up all the statistics on how many embryos to implant, the success rates for Day 3 vs. Day 5 transfer, etc. After a few minutes it occured to me that no level of statistical data is going to make this happen. It is in God's hands. I need to let go once again and just trust in the process. All is well...
