Extraction Day Excitement

We have been administering a variety of medications for the last 13 days. In that time, Stacy's ovaries have been working overtime to produce as many eggs as possible. We never got a picture from any of our appointments, but I found this one that looks just like what we see on the ultrasound.

Each black object in this image is a follicle and has the potential of holding one microscopic egg. Our Doctor was able to extract 16 eggs from follicles like these growing on Stacy’s ovaries. Our eggs will be fertilized and watched for the next 3 days.
