They are Growing

Yesterday the egg retrieval went great! We had to be at the clinic at 6:15 and they did the retrieval a little after 7. Like I had said, I was a little nervous of the sedation but it wasn't that bad at all. I remember telling them I knew the medicine was working b/c the room was spinning and then the next thing I knew they were waking me up on the cart. The only thing I don't remember is going from the surgery room to the post op area. Soon after I did take 1/2 a pain pill since I was starting to cramp already and I am glad I did! I ended up taking a whole one 4 hours later b/c I was pretty sore/crampy. I did get nauseous on the way home once and another time at home but today I feel A lot better!! Hopefully I don't think I will have to take any pills today.

They were able to retrieve 20 EGGS!!! Then this morning they called and said, 16 were mature and 9 fertilized:) Woo Hoo!! I keep praying they stay strong b/c those are our embryo babies! Now I just have to wait to see when they can transfer them back inside me. Usually they wait 5 days to make sure they do okay.

Yesterday I was pretty much bed ridden and we decided to rent "what to expect when you are expecting". It was a funny movie but we could relate to some of the couples! I know it is a comedy but I started crying when they were all delivering. I couldn't help it! And the part where the one couple was meeting the child they adopted.....so sweet! It was the perfect time to watch this movie! I hope we will be doing the same thing in 9 months:) I will update in a couple days about the transfer date!
