ER is done!

Just got home and settled on the couch! We got 15 eggs and I'm thrilled with that number!!! I almost fainted when they were doing my IV (I'm a fainter) but other than that it wasn't too bad. Hoping I can deal with the pain with Tylenol and avoid the heavy meds. They did prescribe me some Cabergoline but I was so drugged up I didn't think to ask what the deal was. Does anyone know if this is simply to prevent OHSS?
Cant wait to hear from the others having their ER today!!!!

TTC #2 March - August 2015 = all BFNs
Prep for FET #1: Aug 2015: found "mass" in uterus on saline sonogram; scheduled a hysteroscopy to remove.
Sept 2015: Hysteroscopy: mass turned out to be scar tissue(?), all removed. Recheck saline sonogram 2 weeks later showed "stuff" still in uterus (more scar tissue? remnants from surgery? Will see if clears with a period). Recheck saline sonogram 1 week later: all clear! Start Lupron and Estrace. Follow up u/s 2 weeks later: uterine lining only 5mm, add in patches. Follow up u/s 1 week later: uterine lining = 4.3mm (argh!), stop estrace and patches and start estradiol injections twice/week. Follow up u/s 2 weeks later: uterine lining = 5mm
Instructed to keep on estradiol injections and recheck in 5 days = lining still at 5mm. Need to make a decision - go for it? Or toss in the towel w/ this cycle and start all over again next year with a new protocol. Decided to go for it as we had 17 frosties; what have we got to lose??

So I definitely had to break down and take some pain meds... I almost fainted earlier from the pain when I got up to go to the bathroom. Not fun. Haha.
15 eggs! Fabulous!! I thought I was being a wuss because I went for the pain meds! I'm super sore! The 2hr ride home sucked since I was so nauseous. I was so glad to get home. Rest up and hopefully we'll be up and running tomorrow!

I had my ER this morning as well. They to 16 and I definitely needed to take the Tylenol meds like clockwork. Every 4 hours the pain begins.
I am a firm believer in a prayer answering God. Many blessings to you.
YAY!!! Another ER buddy!
So excited to get our feet reports tomorrow!
I'm taking oxycodone... The Tylenol didn't work!
I don't post much but I think this message board is a great source of information and support. The Tylenol keeps wearing off but I have nothing stronger. I only Sleep for a few hours at a time and I am so tired. I am debating going into work this morning but I don't want to be a wuss. Other people seem able to go in the next day.
how have you experienced it throughout the night?
Yeah I didn't sleep so great last night so I've already had my first nap of the day! I'm blessed to be self employed so I'm just getting up and working a little at the time today.
