And the number of the counting shall be...

One.

"One lousy god damn hit, that's all we got?"
-- Bob Euker

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do.
-- Three Dog Night

"Just one?"
-- Pete Sampras (in one of the most uncomfortable commercials ever made)


We have one egg. There were numerous follicles, but they were mostly filled with endometriomas and so did not have any eggs in them. We were essentially promoting the disease with every shot we took to promote follicle growth. This was our great fear.

Hello, fear.

We will find out later today or tomorrow if our last precious egg manages to fertilize, and if it does, and continues to grow into a healthy little blastocyst, the transfer is Saturday (we clearly do not have enough eggs for PGD). We'll keep you all updated. Meanwhile, I keep this quote in mind:


The odds of being eaten by a lion while walking down Main Street are a million to one against.

One, however, is enough.
