We went for the retrieval on Monday and one egg was taken.  Unfortunately the egg didn't fertilize and died.  After meeting with the doctor today, we are going right into the next cycle.  Yes, a let down, but given the odds, we want to keep trying.  The thought of donor eggs was discussed, however, decided to try one more time with mine.  Emotionally, it is rather difficult to take, but given my hard inner-self work, this is only a minor set back.  We will meet with the nurse next week, on the day my mom arrives, to schedule the new meds.  The doctor wants to do a more aggressive treatment, (Joe is bracing himself), HA!  Around the 22nd I will start the meds again, and thank the Goddess, it is more aggressive but also abbreviated.  YAY!
