Egg Retreival

Our egg retrieval was yesterday, boy am I glad that is over.  Our time was at 1pm and we were supposed to arrive at 12:30.  So we get there, get all ready, and then the anesthesiologist was AN HOUR late, I was livid. But trying to be calm.  He got there at about 2pm, put me into a wonderful sleep and they took out my eggs. I had 26 follicles but 18 of them had eggs in them.  They then fertilized them and will call me later today with how many were able to be fertilized.  I have been sick all day waiting for the call. 

The procedure went well - I woke up super loopy and Al got some great footage of me saying weird things! I wasn't able to eat or drink all day before it, so after the surgery they gave me some apple juice and then we stopped by Red Mango and I had a few bites of that.  And then the awfulness kicked in and I got SO sick.  I don't know if it was from not eating all day and then eating sugary foods, or from the meds, anesthesia  or what, but last night was not fun.  I was nauseous and throwing up all night.  Maddie and Jordan were so nice to stop by with treats, flowers and magazines and then Alan's parents brought us soup from Zupas and also chicken broth, crackers, ginger ale, etc. They were life savers.  My doctor called me in Zofran at about 9pm since I will still so sick so Al went to pick that up and I took it which helped so much - I was finally able to sleep which was good.  I woke up a few times in the night but now I feel okay. Still a little queasy but after a shower and soup I am starting to feel better.  Just nervous for the call about my eggs. 

Thanks to all of you for everything you've done - texts, emails, meals, flowers, etc. I can't thank you enough! And I'll tell you one thing, right now I would never do IVF again! Way too much emotional pain, physical pain, anxiety, etc. I don't think I can handle it again! :) I'll update on the egg situation tomorrow!

A little nervous before the retrieval :)
