Infertility

XP: ER complete!

We got 21 eggs!!   So thrilled with that number, we will find out how many were mature and are fertilized tomorrow.   I was not so impressed with the anesthesiologist.  He couldn't get a vein in my left hand, and it was horribly painful trying to find one and left a nasty bruise.  He succeeded with my right hand but that also hurt a ton.  And I was fully aware of the majority of the procedure, so even though I told him I have an extremely high pain med tolerance, I remember and felt most everything until halfway through when he must have finally increased my meds.   I remember my RE saying she was almost done retrieving when I told her I could feel the needle.

  • That is a great number!  I can't believe it didn't go better - the anesthesia part.  I never remember any of mine.  I am out - or at least it feels that way.

    I hope you get a great fert report.
