1 in 1000

Our egg retrieval is tomorrow morning at 9:30am.  I cannot believe it is here already.  I am excited and nervous all at the same time.  I will be completely knocked out for the procedure and then on bed rest for the rest of the day.

During my appointment yesterday the IVF coordinator said that my estrogen levels are really high and it looks like we might have to freeze the embryos and wait a month or so before they do the transfer.  When we first talked with the doctor she said it was a 1 in 1000 chance of that would happening.  It looks like I might be that 1.  I am praying that the numbers come down and that we can do the transfer fresh.  I want to do whatever is safest and will give us the most chance of it working so if we have to wait we will but if we have to do the frozen cycle it will cost about $4250 extra.  That is a lot of money.  Thankfully we saved $1000 on our medications for the fresh cycle.

I'm asking for prayers tomorrow for a successful egg retrieval and that it will be complication free.   I appreciate everyone's support through this process.  It has not been an easy one and I know we aren't through it yet but I can't tell you how much everyones kind and supportive words have helped me.  Thank you!
