First IVF ER today, ET for Thur!

Aliki · July 2009

This is my first IVF cycle after 4 failed IUIs, so I was fairly nervous about everything.

I triggered on Saturday, and I was feeling very nauseous so I barely ate dinner (a few bites of penne and sauce, but barely). Sunday I was rushing around, and then went to the beach; before realizing that I couldn't eat or drink anything after midnight (with a Mon morning ER), so DH and I rushed to a sushi place that offered all-you-can-eat for $25. Well, since it was all-you-can-eat.... Embarrassed ... I had 6 rolls of sushi (i.e. 36 pieces!!!!!!!) Yeah, I stuffed my face (say it with me ladies, emotional eating is not good for you!)

As I lay, covered in only the hospital gown, this morning at my RE's office, I morbidly thought if I die during this ER due to an overdose or bad reaction to the anesthesia, the only food in my belly for past 48 hours is loads and loads of sushi! Not how I want to leave this world! Hahah!

The procedure went very quickly, I dont' remember any of it (I thought they said you would be in a twilight state? I wasn't conscious at all!) and DH drove me home. They retrieved 14 follies (are they called eggs at this point?) and will let us know tomorrow what the fertilization report is. I'm so nervous!!

ET is scheduled for Thurs. As far as I was aware, from reading these boards, I thought ETs were always either 2 days or 5 days after ER? Why am I scheduled for Thurs?

Cramping has been really bad this evening. Feels like a lot of pressure on my bladder (like a UTI) even though I'm not having problems peeing

Thanks for letting me share with someone! (We haven't told anyone IRL)
