Egg retrieval was today. Had to get up at 4:45 am. So tired! Everything went well. The nurse found a vein right away for the IV. I wished her luck on finding a vein. I also mentioned how last time they had so much trouble and it was extremely painful. She tried my left hand first and found nothing. She switched to my right side and found it right away. I barely felt it.
Went back around 9:15. I woke up right away while I was still on the table. I remember getting on the bed and being wheeled back to my room. Eric was still upstairs doing his thang. The whole procedure lasted about 20 minutes. Had some water and crackers. Thank god. I was so thirsty from not being able to drink anything.
They got 9 eggs. There would have been more but the follies were in a weird spot and the Dr. didn't want to risk anything trying to get to them. I'm very happy and thankful for 9. :)
Overall, the experience was much better than last time. I wasn't as sore afterwards. I did take a darvocet on the way home followed by another when I got home. I slept for about 4 hours then took some tylenol.
Now we just wait for the fert report.
*Last time they got 7 eggs, 5 were mature and only 3 fertilized.
