I drove down to Seattle on Monday, March 14 and Dad flew in on the Saturday the 19th. I picked him up at the airport and we spent a week together in Seattle, making trips to the clinic every day. The IVF retrieval was on the Tuesday of that week and we got 23 eggs! Everyone at the clinic was extremely happy with that number and so we were too. We heard the following morning that 15 of those had successfully been fertilized. The following Monday we heard that seven of those had survived to be five say old blastocysts and had been biopsied and sent for testing. Hopefully one of those will be a healthy, female....fingers crossed.
Mom was a pincushion for over a week but recovered nicely and was up and about the next day :)
