6 embies growin' in the lab...

Yesterday we retrieved 9 eggs. Dr. J was surprised because all of them came from my right ovary. The left ovary had a few follicles but nothing was in any of them. So righty was definitely dominant and Dr. J said that was "fascinating". I guess you have to be an RE to find that really entertaining...

The hospital called this morning and of the 9 eggs retrieved 6 are showing signs of fertilization today. I wish it was more but as long as I have something to transfer on Friday I won't complain. Grow little embies, grow!

I had a strange dream about my Aunt Sally last night. She died almost 10 years ago. In the dream she was so excited to see Mike and I (she never met Mike). It was such an odd dream and when I woke up I had to think for a few minutes to figure out why it was so odd. She's dead. And in the dream she felt so alive -- so real.

A part of me believes in reincarnation. Could it be?

The day that Aunt Sally died was also the same day that "my car" showed up in town. When I was 15 I was determined that I was going to have a purple Cavalier. That is the car I wanted. Badly. I knew I was only going to get one if one happened to show up used at the local car dealership as it is the only place that Grandpa would do business.

On the day that Aunt Sally died a large truck carrying 10-15 cars was parked by the local car dealership. On the truck was "my car" that I received for my birthday a few weeks later. (I still wish I hadn't gotten a new car when I turned 21. I wish I still had my good ole trusty Cavalier.) A large part me thinks that Aunt Sally had something to do with it. Could she have something special to do with our embryos too?
