Well, today was the day! Our egg retrieval. As instructed, last night I stopped eating and drinking at 10pm. We were to show up at the clinic at 9. They took dh back for his contribution first. I unintentionally told him to have fun. Most awkward thing I've said in that office so far. They also have a new "men at work" sign to hang on the door. Cue snickers.
Next was my turn. My favorite nurse took me back to go over instructions for after. I changed into my paper gown, hat and booties and waited. Finally they moved me to the procedure room, I got my iv and it was time to sleep.
I woke up maybe half an hour later and they moved me to recovery. My nurse left to find out how many eggs we got. It seemed like a lifetime before she came back. We got 14 eggs!! More than we anticipated! The re poked his head in, seemed happy with himself and said he'll call me tomorrow w a fert report. They are planning to do an icsi split if we have at least mature eggs. We are also planning for a 5day transfer as long as things look okay.
Overall, I feel good. A little sore, but nothing like I expected. I've been hanging out watching movies all day anyways. I start pio shots and crinone tomorrow. Oh boy!
