OK - the stress has hit me. I woke up this morning with a pounding heart and a nervous stomach; thankfully I have an appointment this morning and I can be reassured by Doc that things are going well (hopefully).
I think the combined stress of realizing that by the end of the week, God willing, we will be done with a major part of the IVF cycle. But will we have embies? Will we have nothing? As much as I long for this cycle to be over, I can't help but have that nagging feeling, what if? what if? Stop it!
We're also a bit overwhelmed trying to decide what to do with the eggs after retrieval. How many do we attempt to fertilize? Too many, and we end up with more embies than we can attempt to transfer. Too few, and we end up with nothing to transfer. If we do ICSI, we have an increased chance for identical twins and the risks involved. If we do natural, maybe none will fertilize? And that brings us back to how may to attempt to fertilize? One thing is certain - we will HAVE to answer this question by the end of the week.
I am SO thankful that I am only working downtown two days this week. I can handle it. I can handle it! Boy, do I need to go walk on the treadmill and work up a good sweat!
