DejaVu

This morning went down almost exactly the same as it did in June. Same place, same faces, same drill. The only thing different was the magazines and there was an awesome recipe for chocolate and peanut butter cookies that I memorized while waiting in my little room with my blue cap, robe and dressing gown on. I'll make them sometime this week I think when I'm feeling alittle more up to it. Anyway, an egg collection is not always a great experience for alot of women and I've read alot of terrible stories, but for me I've been lucky. It went pretty good last time and this time wasn't any different. In fact ... There are a few things I love about going in for an egg collection :) 1. The toastie warm blanket they give you while you wait your turn. 2. The drugs (I love that I'm out like a light and then two seconds later I'm waking up in recovery) And 3. The juice and cookies the give you afterwards. But good stuff aside, the outcome is all you really care about and this morning it was no different from last time. They found another 7 eggs for us to play with :) and we are hoping and praying that these little eggs are the last lot I need to have sucked out of me cause as much as I love the warm blanket and the drugs and the juice and cookies ... I plan on being pregnant in 2 weeks time :) So fingers crossed these little eggs are better than the last lot and that at least one will have what it takes to go the distance. All going well, transfer will be on Wednesday and in the meantime I'm going to do my best not to worry too much about how many will or won't turn into embryos worth using.
