Egg Retrieval

The ER went well, they retrieved 14 eggs and managed to drain most of my cyst. The fluid in the cyst was too thick to get all of it out. I immediately felt the difference in my backache, it is so nice to feel relief.

Andrew has been very sweet to me and I love him to bits. He made me chuckle a lot before they took me in, he was very quick giving his sample so we made a few jokes about it. "They had porn!" He was thrilled with that, hahaha.

Once they took me back I got all propped up and as I laid back I just started bawling heavy sobs, lots of emotions, hormones, the drugs. The nurses were very nice and kept telling me I'd be OK. They rushed the anesthetist to knock me out so I'd feel better... I fell asleep crying and woke up crying for Andrew. The staff was absolutely amazing.

The cramps was the worst part really, I am staying medicated with the Vicoden for now. The RE gave me a prescription of something to help combat OHSS and we went to fill it before going home....that was a total nightmare. 3 different pharmacies, then a mix up with the insurance, 2 hours waiting for it to be filled, a desperate call to my RE on Call to get it sorted. The insurance was denying the prescription saying 'it was too soon'... umm WHAT!? I was in tears at the pharmacy too, just so worn out... I couldn't talk straight to anyone. Its been a very long day.

I am starting to feel better now, just anxious to hear how many fertilized. The RE said the transfer is scheduled for Friday and they would let us know if anything changes.

So there you have it!
