adding it up

OvCon50 uber-BCPs x 6 weeks = impatient woman

((75 Menopur + 225 Gonal F)x 3 days) + ((150 Menopur + 300 Gonal F) x 8 days) + (Ganirellex x 4 days) = sore abdomen and wild mood swings

5 ultrasounds + 5 blood draws = 13 mature follicles

10,000 units HCG + sub-cutaneous injection = relieved husband, happy ass

1 valium 10mg x back rubs in bed = best night's sleep ever

hospital gown + cap + booties + PIO targets drawn in Sharpie on ass cheeks = sex symbol

good anesthesiologist x not waking mid-surgery = grateful patient

(awesome nurses + fantastic doctor) x modern science = 12 eggs retrieved

(Progesterone + oil) x big f'ing needle = much much whining

2 pound kitten + post-anesthesia nap on the couch = happy, sleepy morning

and

All previous tallies + hope + optimism + luck = a lifetime of love with children of our own

Good numbers! And I'm doing PIO for my next IVF - so I guess I get to look forward to the lovely circles on my butt too, eh? lol

12 eggs. that's an entire carton. I'm so ever lovin' proud of your sore and battered and beaten ovaries! and of you. you are one hell of a champ.
now lets get them all fertilized and settled into that warm warm tummy of yours, that 2 pound kitten can help keep them warm in the nest.
love you
