Let There Be Eggs!

They retrieved 19 eggs this morning.  Everything went well and I'm very happy with that number.  26 didn't work last time so lets hope these are a good quality 19!

I'm still kinda dizzy and goofed up so I'm going to step away from the computer, but I wanted to make sure I posted an update!

Oh yeah - they told me their generator is enough that everything would have been a go today even if power didn't go back on.  Hopefully that is not information I will ever need to know again!

And oh yeah again - I guess we're all too loopy afterwards to give a solid account of the retrieval process, but they really effing hurt.  Sedation is not a complete putter-outter, my friends.  You can feel some of that shit and needles through the va-jay-jay cannot be described as... pressure.  I for one remember bits and pieces.  I had a female attending today so I think that helped a lot.  It was not as bad as last time.

      Not really. We're adding ICSI and I had a lap and hysteroscopy last month so we're helping that a good endo cleaning helps as well. My protocol was the same, but I feel like I responded much better. My E2 stalled out last time and this time it didn't.

    19 sounds great...the most I ever got was 9!!!! And I am so sorry you actually felt some of that...for both of my retrievals...I don't remember anything at all and had no pain or discomfort afterwards. You need to tell them to give you more of the juice!
