Quality over quantity, right?

Retrieval went fairly well! Minus being a little sleepy I don't feel any worse than I have the past couple days with cramping & bloating.  I still had 7 follies but 2 were too small to have mature eggs ( we anticipated that).  For whatever reason one of the other big follies was empty so we ended up with 4 eggs retrieved.  Of course I was hoping for more, but I am certainly happy with 4! Everyone continues to tell me quality over quantity is the best chance for success.  Easier to say than actually believe.  Our future family rests on these 4 lil eggs getting fertilized.  I'm trying to suppress my thoughts of "maybe they missed one? Did they drop any on the floor?"  I am focusing on relaxing and trying to find comfort in the fact that the rest of this process is out if my hands.  J and I have done everything possible, now it's up to doctors, embryologists, nurses, and mehbe the man upstairs!

I had a super freaky dream last night.... I dreamt I had a huge baby bump and everyone was shocked because I was so early in pregnancy but I got to break the news that i was huge because I was carrying twins!  I didn't tell J about it.... It seemed irrelevant and unimportant as we woke up at buttcrack a.m.  and scrambled out the door this morning.  Apparently I had the same dream during anesthesia because he said I woke up mumbling to him about the same exact thing! I don't remember telling J about my dream in the surgery center but hopefully this is a good omen!!  I remember walking to the OR, hopping on the table, the oxygen mask and monitors while reciting my mantra ... next thing I know I'm waking up behind the preop curtain.  I asked for my surgical cap off, my socks on, and then sleepily slurred to the nurse to make sure they were going to do ICSI on the eggs!  I can't wait to hear the fertilization report tomorrow.  Since we had only 4, I'm willing to bet the odds are pretty high we will do a 3 day transfer on Wednesday.   

I'm really trying to take one day at a time.... However, I am entranced by the POAS (pee on a stick) phenomenon!  I have consulted my calendar to figure out when I will be able to start testing.  I triggered with 10,000 HCG.  The body metabolizes 1,000 units every 24-28 hours.  Of course some bodies are more or less efficient than this.  According to the rule of thumb, a BFP on Monday Aug 13 could be fo rizzle.  My other option is to take a test every morning until I get a negative showing the trigger is out of my system.  A positive after that would be due to bebe!  At the same time, I'm super scared to test early, as in before a blood quantitative HCG by my RE.... What if all my poas's are negative???   Decisions, decisions.  One day at a time...  Let's get some eggs fertilized first.
