Pretending it is a Normal Day

I made the mistake of pretending today(the day after egg retrieval) was a normal day. We went into the clinic, early, to get "randomized" for the progesterone study. I noticed I wasn't feeling 100%, so we took the elevator, and then, I felt all fluttery when going to get blood drawn.

Annoyed aside: The b/w tech put in the needle and said, "How are you doing?" and I said, "actually, this sort of hurts. It is uncomfortable."(usually it hurts for a second and then is fine) and she replied, "I am uncomfortable too." and did nothing. WTF?

After all that(I got randomized to do crinone, not the experimental ring) we went to have breakfast, which I ate half of. Then we shopped at the co-op and that is when I started to think, "Maybe pretending that all I need to do is walk slow isn't going to cut it."

Anyway, I came home and took a nap and then went to the pool and took it very very easy. No helping friend with their kids, no bringing of much food to share, etc. I did get treated to nice salads and even received a beautiful present of ramps(something I've been looking for everywhere.) It was nice to sit and be mellow. My friend's almost 3 yr old kept bringing me my water bottle. I wonder if he could tell I was under the weather?

OK, for those who want to know. The Fertilization Report:
Of our 14 eggs they did ICSI on 8 and 7 are growing. (yay)
They did natural fertilization on the other 6, and one is growing. (also Yay, but you can see why we haven't gotten pregnant in 2 1/2 yrs!)
So that makes it a grand total of 8 growing. (we were told anything over half is good)
I hope tomorrow to have good news. We were warned not to expect all 8 to make it.

I really appreciate all of the wonderful, positive comments. Thank you all!
