Fresh off the farm to the market!
I am living in this surreal moment right now! I am floating where ever I go because I can grow eggs! I really thought that my fertility was gone back in the 90s when I suffered from endometriosis and fibroid cysts on my ovaries. I remember my doctor once saying that after 25, my ability to have a child would be near to impossible. Well, he was right except for the mere fact that I am a lesbian and my wife can carry my dna to have our third little. Modern technology is amazing! Expensive, but amazing!
I am not sure exactly how many eggs I have. Once it was 8, then 12, then back to 10...maybe now 11? What I do know is that all of them are growing!! We went in for our final u/s and blood work this morning and I have follicles that range from 24mm to 18mm. The doctor, whom we have never seen before said that my 41 year old eggs look GREAT! What an awesome feeling! All that kinda got shot to hell when she looked over at Andrea and asked if we were sisters. I was stunned. I mean Andrea and I look nothing alike! First off, she is five foot and in excellent shape! Lets not forget the fact that she is much paler than I. I kindly smiled, as she handled the u/s probe which was gently inserted inside me, and said that Andrea is in fact my wife and she will be carrying my embryos. The Dr. didn't have much to say after that...argghh! Really?!
Tomorrow is retrieval day and I can't believe that on Friday we will find out how many Embryos my eggs and our donor sperm will create. I pray that they all develop into grade A embies fresh from my ovaries into the belly of my wife! As long as one takes, we are golden!
