Egg Retrieval

my experience

I am finally fully recovered from my first egg retrieval.  While the results were a bit depressing, I feel even more confident knowing I made the right decision in moving forward with this process now, rather than later - or not at all.

Before I get into the details, I think it's important to underline, bold and italicize the fact that everyone's body is completely unique to them.  I say this as a reminder to myself as well as I definitely spiraled a bit after receiving word that only 4 of my eggs were mature enough to freeze.  Last month, a reality star (my same age) got 40 mature eggs.  As my doctor said, you only need one good egg.  Quantity does not mean quality.
