Retrieval

I admit, I was skeptical that I'd ever make it to retrieval - but there I was at Ye Olde Fertility Clinic today. And they didn't throw me out for having taken my trigger shot early er, late- they just moved me a bit later in the schedule (not by much). Somehow, I had actually made it to retrieval for IVF#2. I hope I don't have to find out what it's like to get to retrieval #3.

Anyway, SuperDoc got 14 eggs - which is phenomenal.

I also love that he came down to do my retrieval... he wasn't the doctor scheduled to do retrievals today, but he came down to do mine, which I really appreciated. I'm in a fair bit of pain, but they gave me fentanyl, morphine, and vicodin at the clinic, and armed me with a bottle full of vicodin for my house. Now I'm really spacey and exhausted and completely incapable of being witty or interesting, but that's what you get.

Fert report tomorrow. The waiting begins

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.
