Retrieval went fine. The grand total is 6 eggs. I was hoping for more, but am still happy with the 6. Hopefully they are of great quality and we get some nice embies to transfer on Wednesday.
My RE (Dr. Chat) did the retrieval, so it was nice to see such a familiar face. Afterwards he gushed about how picture-perfect the retrieval was so at least I get an A+ for the mechanics. :-)
I've been reading everyone else's blogs, but have been slacking on commenting lately. I'll plan to catch up tonight. Just know that I've been following everyone and thinking about you a lot!
Thanks again for all of your wishes for good luck. Hopefully they worked this time!

Looking good Leah!
Sorry i've been AWOL. Just a bit tied up in real life.
I'd be over the moon with 6 eggs! Your cycle's sounding great - looking forward to a great fert report!
xx
So glad to hear it went well! I was thinking about you all morning. I can't wait to see the report tomorrow!! Get some good relaxing in!
Ok, this is getting downright bizarre. 6 eggs for me, too!
I will be thinking very happy thoughts for you!!!!!!!
Glad to hear that all is well and six sounds great! Can't wait to hear the fertilization report tomorrow!
Oh Leah--you know I am just sending the best hopes and prayers your way! Im checking in religiously for your reports!
Let's go little eggs! Hoping for high mature and fert numbers!
Never got that many myself. So, I think 6 is fantastic (I understand though that we always hope for more, there is just something comforting in numbers in IVF). Hoping the best!
Congrats on having the retrieval behind you. Looking forward to a great fert report. good luck!
Good news on the retrieval! Glad is went smoothly! Can't wait to hear about the fertilization report!
Yeah yeah yeah!!!! Fingers crossed!
Great work! Can't wait to hear your next great update :) xo
Yay! Six embies is very good!!!! I hope they all get busy with the swimmers and do their THANG! Just think they're probably getting down right now! Did you see my infertility tattoo I got? I posted a photo of it on my blog for 9/2! It's my first tattoo and I'm very excited about it! :)

Excellent news sweetie!! 6 is a good number :) Can't wait for the fert report, hoping and praying that those eggies make strong embies and that they make you that much wanted baby/babies!!
Thinking of you!
Well done you! I was in the 6 egg club too so lets hope it's a lucky number for both of us. Good luck for the fert report Leah.
I think that it's a great number. Crossing the corssables for you!!!!
Sorry I wasn't here earlier- the in-laws came into town and I got sick...
GL and I can't wait to see the transfer update!
Where are you Leah? It is 9:30 my time (pacific) and no results yet? Ug! I hope you have all 6 growing right now
