The Numbers Game

24 - the number of eggs retrieved

20 - the number of eggs viable

11 - the number of eggs fertilized

7 - the number of eggs Class A*

2 - the number of eggs transferred

21 - the first day of summer, and the Solstice

12 - the number of days I''m determined to let pass before I poas.

4 - the number of days this has all seemed somewhat anticlimactic.

5 - the number of days I'm been in an incredibly odd state of ambivalence about this whole process.  I've come to the realization (late, natch) that yeah, while I knew that I wanted a baby no matter what, and that I wanted it to come from my body above all, really, I am so ready to parent that it almost (almost!) doesn't matter where the child comes from.

2 - the number of days the above fact has come as a comfort.

1 - the number of days spent in a hotel - that's right, this time tomorrow I should be home!!

Oro out

*or, as my doctor put it, "gorgeous"

PS: yes, we do have some male factor, namely broken tails and low motility.  Mr Oro had, however, gotten his ex- gf pregnant through, y'know, actual sex, so I've always assumed I was the problem.

Two to inplant, five purdy ones to freeze? That's a great haul.

I am living this surreptitiously through you, y'know. I love the place you're in.

I came here via the Creme de la Creme. Thank you for writing this. It was a new way for me to think about this whole thing.
