Well, all went well today. Really sore and no good pain meds like some other people, but doing okay.
I was still very nervous about the messed up trigger shot. And then I had to go to bed at 10pm so that I could make it from then to 9am without eating or drinking anything. Anyone who knows me knows how crazy it is for me to go to bed that early. It drove me crazy. So, I was sore, hungry, thirsty, and not tired at all when I went to bed last night. Not to mention freaked out about the retrieval. I ended up getting a couple hours of sleep and that was all.
We got to the clinic at 815 (I was supposed to be there at 830 for my 9am "surgery"). They told me to use the restroom and then someone would take me back. I did and then went to the waiting room with Barry. Finally, after a while of no one showing up, I walked to the desk to ask what I should do. Apparently, they were still waiting for me. So, she took me to a small room and gave me sandals to wear and a place to put my clothes. So, I changed and went into the next room. There were 4 beds and another lady had just finished her procedure, so I was in number 2. The anesthesiologist came and went over the form I had to sign and put in the IV needle. And then I waited. Finally they came and got me. I had to get into a normal GYN chair (at least normal here, not just a table) and then they told me to put my legs up on this contraption. Think sitting in a chair and then putting your legs on things above your head. Then they strapped me in. The anesthesiologist told me that he was starting the meds and that it would be burn as it went up my arm. As it got to the top, everything faded.
I woke up a little while later feeling a little groggy and a little sore. Once I grabbed my glasses, I realized that it was only 10am. This meant that I still had at least another hour to wait and nothing to do. Hubbies can not come in there for the privacy of the other patients, so I was really bored. To explain how bored I was, I spent the majority of the time watching the bottle of saline drop into my IV. Toward the end, I realized that by turning my hand a certain way, I could slow, stop, or speed up my IV. LOL
Finally a lady came in to tell us all about our egg reports. They were all in German so I could not understand their results. She told me that I had 13 eggs, 12 mature and the other might mature. They said they will call tomorrow with the fertilization results and we will set up a time for the transfer. Then she told me about the different meds I needed to start today.
Turns out that the only pain meds that they gave me were when I was asleep after the surgery. I am in some pain now, especially when I try to get out of a chair. I have tried to just veg on the couch this evening and relax. Some things are much more difficult to do right now. Hopefully this will ease soon. I don't know how people with tons of eggs do this if I am this sore after 13.
So, I will update in the morning once we know about the fertilization report. Hopefully we have something to use. Of course I am so worried that we won't. Oh, by the way, the trigger shot worked just fine, LOL.
