My Lady of the Lantern

----A Call in progress---- Bleem Blaam Bleem Blaaam Goo Goog Goo Ga Goo Goo Goo Bloy Blimy Bleem Bleem Bleema Goo Goog Goo Ga Gaa Goo Goo Bleemy Blimy Bleem Bleem Bleema . . . . . . . . . And he said that we may even try with donor oocyte. Donor oocyte? Oh means, hubby's sperm, and somebody's else's eggs? Yeah. Why? The baby won't have my genes. . . . . ----Call ended---- This has to be the f##k#ing Eiffel Tower of loose commenting....He had no right of giving an option, I as a patient did not ask. And he had no right to be saying it like this to somebody else (the caller) rather than to me / hubby. Once upon a time, I contacted him for an end June-July appointment. I did not make the appointment finally (thanks to my thesis). But I do not want my options to EVER be coming to me like this. EVER. ^WiseGuy^ Image Courtesy: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqwqBrxBn3CH-uCQbNtiOhAgF-eXOrCJ8CY3uhiGwcCjesGRNdEHvJFXRmf_M-ZLxDG3Cs7_y_C2d9BhiB2ES1zc0-3...

My doc SMSed me today with the ICSI and IVF results. Breaking News : Out of the 13 oocytes, 9 have been fertilized - 8 through ICSI and 1 through IVF Doc is satisfied with the results.

I have been started with Progesterone(200 mg) from today. Wish me luck! I may not be able to blog tomorrow or even day after tomorrow but I hope that you will send your blessings my way because I am really hoping for all the good luck I could garner from the cosmos! ^WiseGuy^

Okay, so one really hungry babe made it to the hosp today. I think I have become too comfortable at the center. We reached there pretty early in the morning (around 8 o'clock) and except for the cleaning staff and OT Technicians there was just one more couple there. The TV in the reception lobby is controlled by the staff sitting at the counter. In their absence, the chemist turned on the TV and guess who got to play with the remote? Me! The first item on the schedule was oocyte harvest. Forget the numbers of the follicle size in my yesterday's post. Overall 17 eggs got picked. Post-selection, 13 were retained. I recovered well from the anaesthesia. I remember how shitty I felt after my D&C. Today was good. But I was told, that when I 'came out', I was crying and asking DH to promise me to let me name my babies (What? Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in action?).
