After a week of suffering, the next chapter in the journey starts today as I went to collect the Progynova prescription to prepare my womb lining the upcoming thaw cycle.

I can't believe I need to go through all that Medisave paperwork all over again.

I also finally had a chance to see the report for the embryo extraction. Not quite what I expected...

The Numbers

36 - Eggs harvested
26 - Injected
14 - Fertilized
7 - Still alive by Day 2
4 - Freezed the day I was supposed to do the transfer but in too much pain
4 - Blastocyst (3 working + 1 non-working embryo; just for the heck of it)

By Day 5 and 6, all the blasted eggs stopped working...

So after all that OHSS trauma, we only have 4 little embryos frozen and asleep. I thought maybe there were more than 10 waiting for us. I didn't expect less than 5.

I felt drained and completely exhausted for the rest of the day...
