ER Update

This morning I arrived at Vitalab at 7am. I was so scared! I had been praying the whole weekend that I would get a decent number of follies and of good quality. My friend who took me there was quite supportive, and even tried cracking a couple of jokes just to calm me a bit.
I was the 4th person to have ER done today. The first lady went in and had 11 eggs removed. The second lady had a GIFT procedure done, so I am not sure how many they retrieved and put back. The third lady had 5 eggs removed. I could see she was dissapointed with her results, and of course this gave me heart palpitations.

Anyway, I went in to theatre. Dr G performed my ER. He is a sweet man. They gave me all the gases and injections that was supposed to sedate me, however, I was told that I chatted throughout the procedure! How embarrasing!
Well, the first thing a did after they wheeled me back into the recovery room was look at my hand. And this is what I saw:





And I immediately started thanking God! I was so chuffed to see that I had 10 eggs retrieved! The sneaky little buggers must have been hiding behind the other follies!

SHame, the lday who went in after me seemed to have an unpleasant experience. SHe was wheeled out of theatre crying. Apparently she could feel the whole procedure! She said it was so damn sore. I felt so sorry for her.

So, that is one phase down. The next is to hear how many of them fertilized. Another stressful waiting period. Does it ever end?
