ER Today

And...... They retrieved 24 eggs I wasn't expecting that many. Now time for some rest and chicken noodle soup. My back is killing me for some reason. I could use some vibes for a great fert report tomorrow. I'm so nervous about fertilization with out the use of ICSI.

Good luck to everyone else.

Yea! Fingers crossed for a great fert report!

I was also worried about ICSI vs. conventional fertilization, but we did half and half and it turns out not only did more of our conventional eggs fertilize than the ones we used ICSI for, the conventional ones were also the better quality ones too which we transferred.

Good luck!
