IVF #2: Day 18 Egg Retrieval

I was thinking of canceling this cycle. I was worried we would get less eggs than last time. Boy, is this cycle the opposite of last time...I would love for the end result to be the opposite too!

We had ER on Tuesday, I wasn't even excited; more like dreading bad news. I woke up and made them tell me 3 times before I believed them 19. Nineteen. NINETEEN EGGS!!!

Holy moly!! I was definitely more soar this time too, but it is worth it.
