Retrieval

We got 10 - way more than expected. I'm in a lot more pain than I expected to be, but I've got decent pain drugs on board (they even gave me fentanyl, vicodin, and morphine after I woke up). Apparently, they had to manipulate my ovaries a lot to get to them, which explains the pain.

I'm still pretty out of it, but pretty pleased with today's outcome.

Wow- that's great...so glad to hear the good news except for the pain part. Glad you went through with it. Fingers crossed for a good fert report!!!

Wow! 10 is incredible, especially since it looked like you could have half of that.

I hope the pain subsides and I am hoping for a great fert report tomorrow.

I knew it! Well done.

In yesterday's post, you sounded back to being happy, not foolishly optimistic or anything.

Yay for 10! Sorry you're in pain. I had the most pain the day after the retrieval, so I hope that tomorrow won't be too bad for you. The vicodin really helped get me through that day! Glad things went better than expected!

I knew there would be more than the docs thought. There always are. YEAH!! UGH to the pain. I hope you have a heating pad. It saved my life. REST as much as your little world will let you.
