Retrieval, driving, walking, climbing and long needles!!

Believe it or not... This is all in one day!!   Wednesday morning  was retrieval day for the donor.... Which meant one last time for Dennis and his cup to have a date!    Everything had to be there by 8 ish while the retrival was happening.   Found out later 19 were retrieved.   Three quarters of those are fertilized via ICSI...I think I described this in earlier posts.  Now we wait to see what fertilizes.

From ther we set out on a four hour drive to the Sequoia Narional park via Three Rivers.  It is a long drive but something I have always wanted to see.   The drive was so diverse..starting with more mountains and amazing views, then to flat and HOT with mountains in the background.  We ended up putting up the top and turning the AC on.  A stretch was dry and kind of boring but then we a ta rented to see fruit farms like oranges and lemons.

The park itself  is huge.  Fourty five minutes of twisting and turning and we were at the main area.  We saw huge sequoia trees, climbed 400ish steps up morro rock for an unbelievable view and saw General Sherman biggest sequoia known.  These tree are something to see!!!  We did a lot of walking and climbing up and down today....but it was all worth it.

On our way home...we stopped for some local fruit...oranges and plums and made the drive back.

So...needles.  Tonight was out start to daily intramuscular progesterone injections ...yes into my butt.  Fine...estrogen has been going okay.  But we found out the clinic wants like1.5 inch ins...freaking huge.  Wasn't too bad going in...just the fluid injecting is weird ...them it aches like when you work out.   Fun fun!!
