Welcome to our journey... the (not so) easy does it, IUI turned IVF journey. Join us each step of the way. We hope that our experiences help guide others as they go through the same hurdles, pain and expense of infertility and at the same time, making light of situations and celebrating all who have a positive outcome :)

Here eggie eggie egg!
During my egg retrieval, they were only able to harvest eggs from my right ovary. My left ovary was up too high and the needle could not reach. Because of this, they only were able to get 11 eggs, about half of what they expected to get. Nonetheless, out of the 11 eggs, 8 of them fertilized. By day 5, only 3 of those 8 had survived. So we have 3 beautiful fertilized eggs being frozen :) While I initially wasn't excited about the idea of a freeze-all, I am now more understanding of why they are choosing to do it this way. When it comes time for the transfer, I want my body to be completely ready to accept the embryos. Waiting is best...
