Suz’s Ramblings…

I’m a few days behind in updating…things have been craptastic at best around here lately.
The retrieval was on Wednesday.  Of the 20+ follicles, 10 were retrievable.  The majority fragmented when the needle was inserted into the follicle.  Lovely, but not really.

There was lots [...]
