Thank you so much! I seriously freaked out for nothing. It was, by far, the easiest part of this whole thing because I was knocked out! I just have some cramping, but that's not bad considering what I had myself thinking it would be like! I must have been saying some pretty hysterical stuff before I was completely out. I woke up to them saying how funny I was as I was going under. I kinda don't want to know what I said! I'm known for saying some very inappropriate things when under the influence of meds! Like, when I had my cervical cancer removed, I woke up screaming that my "p**** is on fire!" over and over in the recovery room, surrounded by TONS of other patients waiting to come back or recovering, also. Yep, I have NO filter on that stuff!!
The got 22 eggs!!!! They had been counting about 16-17 at each monitoring appointment, so the hidden ones were a welcome surprise! We had a great time joking with the nurses before hand and my favorite nurse was in the room during the procedure. Or so I think. She said she'd be there, but I was knocked out the entire time, so she could have lied and I'd never have known! It's a smaller practice, so they get to know us very well and are some of the kindest people I've ever met. I'm on a lot of vicodin now (2 of them to be exact!) and I'm off to take a nap, but thank you for all of your kindness over the last couple of weeks. I've been a mess and I'm so glad you all put up with me!
I can't wait to hear how your ER went bklyninri!!

ER was easy on my end too! In some ways a much needed nap
I can't believe how quick the whole process was. From what the nurse said she is pretty sure they only retrieved 9. I have lower AMH and they were watching about that many in terms of size with a few other smaller ones. I had slow growth so I guess I should just be thankful that they got as many as they did. Feeling fine, just crampy.
Glad to hear all went well with yours beachy! Not sure how many days they will take for transfer. Hoping some of these are viable!

Wonderful news! I'm sure your quality was great!! That's way more important than a huge number of eggs. Plus, with a lower AMH, that's pretty wonderful!! I'm glad all went well! Take it easy and nap away the rest of your day! I'm on nap 5 or so already

Thanks! I am starting to feel very crampy now. Hoping this isn't the beginning of ohss. They didn't mention being concerned. Not sure what to expect to this could all be normal. Just took some tylenol and heading to bed. Hope you get a good report tomorrow!
My nurse said cramping the first couple days after is very normal! Have you sneezed yet? If not, don't!! It wasn't very pleasant!! She said the big bloat could start anytime though. I can't wait to hear your feet report tomorrow, too!!! Sleep well!
