so far...

23 eggs of usable size retrieved
e2 7800
OHSS mild right now, got albumin in the IV at retrieval to try and prevent any worsening of the hyperstim.

i think i'd have had better follicle : egg ratio if i weren't so hyperstimmed. i am not sure if there's any factual basis to that though, have to look it up. it's done now, there can only be lessons learned for next time.

fingers crossed that all 23 fertilize and go on to make me and my hubby proud parents of our own soccer team plus second and third string backups.

23 eggs is still pretty damn impressive! That was quite a load you were carrying around.

Fingers crossed for a fantastic fert report!

23 eggs sounds like heaven to me. Across all of my IVFs, the total we got was 15 (4, then 5, then 6). You are a rock star!

I hope to do my happy dance tomorrow when you post the fertilization report and we begin planning for the soccer festivities.

Great news for the retrieval. Make sure to take really good care of yourself and let the clinic know if those OHSS symptoms worsent.
