Infertility

ER done, some weird side effects

Hi Ladies!

Got home around 2:00 or some from ER, really in a lot of pain! Using a heating pad right now. Going to take a vicadin later. I thought the anesthesia was supposed to go through my IV, but they put something up my nostrils and I mean, my sinuses are all screwed up, my eyes have watered and I have been sneezing and nose runny/stuffy ever since. Basically, I'm miserable! How 'bout anyone else. I really didn't think I would have this much pain. I don't know if I should have or not but I took a benadryl. Hasn't helped a whole lot. Guess that got my eggs and gave me a cold, who knows!!

Update on the retrieval itself. They only got 7 eggs. Be honest, is that good? I was disappointed. I was hoping for a least 10 or more. I read other posts were ladies have closer to 15/20 eggs. Little worried.

So, what about you ladies, this much pain, other side effects? Chances of having embryos out of 7 eggs?? Thanks ladies!

  • Sheesh!  I hope you are feeling better soon!  Make sure you are staying hydrated and eating well. 

    IDK what your DX is, but we had 7 eggs retrieved as well at my last ER.  Anything between 6 and 12 is considered average at my clinic.  You can definitely have hope for embryos!  I hope your fert. report comes back great!

    All welcome!
  • Remember that just because people have 15-20 eggs does not mean that they are all of good quality. A good friend of mine had a ton of eggs retrieved, but none of them made it. I would rather have 7 good quality eggs. Believe me, it is easier for me to give others encouragement then to believe the same for myself. I will also keep my FX for a good fert report. I am ready to see some BFPs from our group.

    New RE. First & Hopefully Last IVF November 2013.
  • I'm sorry you're not feeling well!! Rest up and like others said, stay hydrated. I had a good amount of cramping after mine. They gave me Tylenol with codeine so that just made me tired which was fine with me! I'm 29 and we got 10 which I was disappointed with after reading what others were getting. Everyone is so different and doing this for so many different reasons. Like others have said it's the quality that's more important than quantity and as cliche as it is my RE always says, "it only takes one." Sometimes I want to punch him when he says that :D but I suppose it's true. Hang in there and I hope all goes well with ET! Are you doing a 3 or 5 day transfer?
    2013- 2 IVF cycles with PGD to prevent genetic disorder from being passed on. Both BFFN :(

  • Thanks so much ladies! Don't know for sure yet when transfer will be, that's if we have one this go 'round. My progesterone level was high before trigger so we may have to freeze and to FET.
  • ThoseThreeWords, just curious, how long did you have the sinus irritation, I feel bad enough without that! It's like having a cold which can make one pretty miserable. Glad to hear someone else had some similar issues.
  • Seven is good! I only had 6 and 3 made it to freeze. I think the quality over the quantity is the way you want to look at it. Your body was working hard to make 7 perfect eggs. Good luck on the fert report tomorrow. Hope you feel better. I was just really sore after but only took Tylenol for pain.

  • Aw sorry you don't feel well!  I was in the worse pain myself after my ER - hated it!  I can only imagine what its like to also have sinus issues on top of your pain!  Try to relax with a heating pad and drink some hot tea.  I had an oxygen mask but I know they sometimes use oxygen tubes through the nose.  So it might have been that!  Stay hydrated and drink lots of gatorade!

    Fingers crossed for a good fertility report!
