Infertility

Back from ER (xp-kinda longish)

Well, I survived!

The whole procedure went well, but getting an IV in for the anesthesia was HORRIFIC.

It took half an hour, I have two blown out veins in my right hand (on in my left still from some BW last week) this results in grape sized welts and bruising under my skin. Then they went for the wrist, after digging for a while, still couldn't get it. At this point I am crying because I am so angry that it just wont work, it hurts really bad and uhhhh hello I have massive amounts of hormones in my body! Nurse gave up and made the anesthesiologist do it, after they made me take a Valium. He got it in my forearm then got angry at me when I still had tears running down my face. BOO.

Also I was covered in those warm blankets, most people would really love those, not this sweaty lady! between nervousness and the blankets it prob looked like I was running a marathon, I am so gross. 

I was out cold in like 4 seconds after laying down on the procedure bed tho, so that was nice.

They told me they got 5 eggs, I'm really really hoping that means they got 5 mature eggs and not just 5 total, since some may not be mature then. As of monday I had 7 that were 17mm+ so I'm going to go with 5 mature. Fert report comes tomorrow. I am so nervous/excited for it!!!

    Me either, he was a grumpy older man, I think that is why. He said "the IV is in now, stop crying its over". I wasn't like sobbing or anything, I just couldn't make the tears stop streaming!

  • Ouch - so sorry you has a rough time with the IV.  What an a-hole anesthesiologist for getting mad at you. But yay for 5 eggs!

    For my ER, took them 3 tries to get a good vein. I was not a happy camper either. And those pokes hurt afterwards more than the good vein they got. 

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Aw, I'm SO sorry you went through that :( I had a similar IV experience at one of my d&c's they had two anesthesiologists and two nurses try. Finally the Dr. got it in (my hand after both arms were toast) they told me I was super dehydrated so once they did get the IV in, they had to give me fluids. So not being able to eat/drink for many hours took it's toll on me, wondering if you had a similar problem? 
    Either way, sorry you went through that and he got mad at you. Yikes! Not a great experience for you at all. Rest up and GL with your Fert Report!
