Cycle Day 8 & 9 - July 15 & 16, 2009

I was too tired to blog last night...

I am going for another blood test tomorrow morning at 7:30 followed by an ultrasound to see how many eggs I potentially have for IVF this cycle. Last time, I had 5 follicles, but only 4 eggs could be extracted because the last one was too close to an artery. The more eggs we have, the higher the probability of a successful pregnancy. We are hoping to see at least 6 follicles tomorrow...

Both my husband and I are nervous and excited for tomorrow's ultrasound. But what if I have fewer eggs than last time? =( Hopefully not.

I love tea. I went to 3 tea stores today: Steeps Tea Lounge, Teaz Tea Boutique and T, all on W. Broadway, close to Granville. I bought tea from all 3 stores!!! Yum! Jasmine Pearls, Organic Lychee Green, Japan Green Treasure, Dan Lei (White Tea/Peony), Mango and Apple Dream...

Aside from my tea "splurge", I shared/demonstrated a few Asian recipes with my sister: Lemongrass Chicken, Spicy Tofu (Ma Poa), Steamed Egg with Ground Meat and Barbecued Pork. I miss having the Food Network Channel... =( We lost that channel when we switched over to satellite TV.

I started working on my new virtual classroom website for September. Hope to get that up and running within the next few weeks.
