Eggs fertilized! and HyperStim

Hey all,

Well, I have good news (I think) and bad news.

First the good news (at least I think it's good news). Out of our 19 eggs retrieved, 14 of them were injected. Out of the 14 injected, we have 11 eggs fertilized!! And possibly another 2 that they were unsure about! That is crazy! Anyways, so, this probably means a day 5 transfer, which is on Friday. So, on Friday, probably some of these eggs won't make it to day 5.

Now for the bad news... It seems I'm hyper-stimulated, which basically means fluid is leaking into my abdominal cavity. This is happening due to the excessive amount of eggs and estrogen my body made, and it is supposed to resolve itself. But for now, it is causing shortness of breath, and hard time walking, or laying down. If I sit, I'm fine, however. All day yesterday, I assumed it was gas, but in talking with the nurses, they say I'm definitely hyper-stimmed. So, I will keep monitoring my situation, drink lots of gatorade, and let the doctor know if it gets any worse. I also will probably take some darveset for now to help with the pain, and get as comfortable as possible.

Tomorrow, they won't check the eggs at all, but on Wednesday, they will look at them again. I am supposed to call on Wednesday morning, to see if I have a Wednesday transfer or not. (but 99% chance it will be on Friday).
