Andrea Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi. I am going to be gone for a bit. I will check the boards quickly when I can and I will try to read e-mails. I am scheduled Mon for the surgical egg retreival for IVF. If that goes well, I have the embryo transfer on Thurs and a full week of strict bed rest,hence limited computer time. Last time I cheated with my laptop, this time I won't b/c I am only doing this in-vitro one more time after this and I need to be super strict Also we are starting a 40 day trial at work on Monday that i was just assigned to second chair since someone just gave two weeks notice. The whole in-vitro will make it hard, but se la vi, they know I have to do what I have to do If the case doesn't settle on the "eve of trial", I will be working a lot and possibly in Court without computer access during the day. Meanwhile, my mom sees the oncologist on Monday. And my dad is going for a heart test on Monday. Never dull moments Stay well everyone!

Nancy B Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Good grief Andrea, way too much going on. How do you do all this? Must be because you are young!. I want to wish you good luck with your procedure and I will also be thinking and praying for good results for your Mom and Dad also. Take care.

karen335 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Andrea, Wishing you luck with the INV. Have friends who froze 6 eggs. This INV can be dangerous. Lot's of Hormones. The 1st 3 eggs were implanted, two took and babies did not make it. They were only 26wk term. The good news is the next 3 took and the babies are now 8 months old and beautiful. A boy and a girl... Prayers for you, mom and dad. Prayers, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowflake Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Be super good, Andrea. If someone just gave two weeks, you can use their paralegal too, right? Luck to you, the good kind! Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurielK Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 We'll miss you while you are gone, Andrea. Good luck with the baby thing and the trial. Can we assume that if it goes to trial, it will be a short one? What will you do beginning Thursday??? Best wishes. Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thanks for all the well wishes! My egg retreival yest went well, 12 were retreived. Now they are "cooking" and hopefully I will hear later today that they fertilized ok. Thurs they transfer embryos (like 4) into the uterus, and I am on bed rest for 1 week to help make them stick. It is not proven statistically that bed rest makes a difference, but that is my doc's protocol As for the trial, it settled. Yay!!!! Becky--we could have used a paralegal and anyone else really. It is just one of those things where I was kind of familiar with the case and it was an octopus, 40 day trial estimate. I don't actually "speak" in Court anyway, I am more of a gopher helping in the background, finding the documents the lead atty needs, etc Still waiting for my dad's scan results and my mom's blood results. Her onc visit was fine though yest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen335 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 YEAH! YEAH!! WOOOOOHOOOO, good news always makes me smile... Glad the trial settled early. Now, get some bed rest as ordered by the doctor. We want a boy AND a girl. Not asking for much, just saving time.... Please keep us posted on mom and dad too. Glad mom's onc. appt. went good...
