Re: Ease my mind about ER

  • Yes!!  It is!  You are out for it and you wake up and it's done!! 

    They will start and IV and then you will feel fantastic for about 30 seconds, while the propofal hits.. and you go out!!

    I'm having some mild AF like cramping.. but that's it.  I've been sleeping on and off all day!!

    You will be fine!! You will be a champ!!!  You can do it!

  • You got this in the bag.  Hands. Down.

    It is the unknown that is more scary b/c you haven't been through it before.

  • Totally! Just don't pass up on an extra shot of pain medication on your way out! And don't forget to drink tons of gatorade, eat chicken broth soup, and/or drink V8. Good luck tomorrow!

  • Such a piece of cake I was wide awake for mine. I am here to tell you that a needle through the vaginal wall is nothing but a period like cramp. No pain or needle feeling at all. I hated the damn IV in the hand the most.  You might be sore from enlarged ovaries but it really is a piece of cake.  I was terrified and looking back the pre-jitters were much worse and pointless because it was fast and easy. 

    Keep breathing :)   (I'm serious... I'm a firm believer in guided meditation for relaxation).

     

    EDITED:  I'm sorry, I don't know if you are open to SAIF replies and I should have done a ticker warning.  My apologies.

    This!  Just make sure to drink lots of water afterwards.  You'll be fine!!  I was back at work the next day also.  Just a little tired.

  • The procedure is easy.  After, I was in quite a bit of pain and nauseas from the anesthesia.  You can totally handle it but I just wanted to say that different people's experiences vary. I was sort of surprised about the pain level but maybe that was just me.  Best of luck and you can do this!  :)

    I had an experience very similar to this.  I was surprised as well, since most people I've talked to don't seem to have this type of experience. I think you will do great -- good luck! :)
