Retrieval Day

Today was the big day! Scott and I got the the Dr's office this morning around 8 and Scott went staight back to do his thing and I got dressed in my beautiful gown, booties and hat. Frances got me all set up with an IV and went over what would happen and then we just waited on Dr Malizia. Once she got there we walked into the IVF room and they got me all set up. Dr. Malizia used a transvaginal sonogram to locate the follicles and she then inserted a needle into the follicle and withdrew the egg. In total she was able to retrieve 13 eggs! The embreologist took the eggs once we were done and begane injecting Scotts buddies into each of the eggs. They walked me back into the recovery room and I stayed there sipping on Sprite for about 45 minutes and then Scott and I were headed back home. Karen will call in the morning and let us know how many eggs fertilized and when we will do the transfer. Everyone keep up the prayers that baby bruner is on its way!
