27
That’s how many eggs Dr. Z plucked from my follicles this morning.
But Watson! You only had 24 freaking follies. What the HELL?
I guess I had some ‘sleeper follicles’ that Dr. Z had not seen on the ultrasound.
(I’m hoping they’re not like sleeper ce.ll.s. And that’s all I’ll say about that.)
Everything went well, but I’m staying on fluid restriction for ten more days. PIO starts Tuesday, which gives me two blissful, shot-free days. Woo hoo.
I will post tomorrow with more details and the fert report when I hear back. Keep your fingers crossed we get some good ones out of this batch!
And the video has been edited into three different chapters. Because I tend to do things full-ass, instead of half-ass, if you must know. And so the premier of The World’s Most Embarrassing Video is almost done, I should be able to post it tomorrow and I will include the link here, my pretties.
Thank you for your well-wishes, I know it helped!!

Dr. Z’s office just called: of the 27 eggs they got yesterday 22 matured, and 19 of those fertilized. The nurse told me it was a good, solid 85% and I can live with that.
So now it’s on to PGD and a day 5 transfer on Friday.
Wow!!! 27!! You rock! Grow embroyos grow! Keeping my entire body cross!
Holy Over-achieving Ovaries, Batman! Congrats on your highly successful egg haul. Can’t wait to hear the next update!!
Oh good lord. Of course, I can say this and still feel smug because I got 34. In any case, I’m looking forward to that fertilisation report. It seems under-responding is not your problem!

27? Blimey.
I await developments with bated breath and fingers crossed.
Bea, thats truly amazing, and I am so excited for your transfer… also looking forward to some popcorn and coke video material!
Holy crapoly – 27!!! Amazingggggg!!!!!!
Yay ovaries! Waiting with everything crossed for tomorrow.
Wowie wow wow! You are just an egg machine! There’s got to be some great ones in there! Good luck!
27?? Molto impressive. V good. Excellent. Now on to 100% fertilisation, yes?
You don’t need a bigger basket – you just need another one. Remember, don’t put them all in one basket! 🙂
Congrats on being an egg farm – I can’t wait to read the fert report!!!
Woohoo! That’s fantastic! My fingers are crossed hard for you.
Holy crap, that’s awesome! I eagerly await your fert report!
Great news! No sleepers! Thinking good thoughts for you.
Wow. Great news!
Woohoo you are super follicle girl!
Oh my gosh, this is awesome! You are in GREAT shape!
Rock ON!
Yahoo girl! 27!! And a great fert report too. You must be very excited!! Enjoy the 2 days off.
oh my god that’s FANTASTIC! just AWESOME! how exciting!!! 19 to work with, hurray!!
i know you already are, so i hate to be a pest, but do keep a serious eye on the fluids and OHSS, mine showed up 5 days after transfer.
and thanks so much for your comment on my blog. it’s been weird trying to accept it and enjoy it (and risk getting my hopes up), but all the congratulatory comments have really helped me get in the moment and enjoy it. i can’t wait to return the favor!!!
You GO girl with that fert report – that’s FANTASTIC!!!!
Here’s hoping for some beautiful embryos to transfer on Friday! 🙂
Amazing!!
Sounds good, Watson…
Bea
How the hell did your ovaries hold all those follicles?! Congratulations. Those embies must be having a party in the incubator. Take it easy this week.
OMG, That’s fabulous…holy cow that’s a lot of embies…I am so FRIGGIN excited for you…..
*hug*
Holy Follicles, Watson! I’m crossing everything for you!!!
Great news and great fert report to boot!
That’s freakin’ awesome, Watson. I’m interested to hear how the PGD goes, since that may be in our future, too. Though I doubt I will be such a high-egg-achiever like you, my dear – you set a damn high bar.
Crossing all available appendages that you have a passel-load to transfer and freeze.
Wow! Lots of beautiful, fertilized eggs!!! You go girl. I hope they keep on growing, and you have lots of lovely day 5 blasts to choose from 🙂
