Egg Retrieval. Check!

Last time as soon as I woke up from the anesthetic I looked straight at my hand and saw '17' written on it. 17 eggs! This time my hand was blank. I was in lots of pain and started freaking out a bit.

me (In the hospital bed, in pain and still all groggy like) : So how many eggs did they get?

nurse: 19! I have already told you like 4 times

me: (yeah well i seem to be slightly out of it) Last time they wrote it on my hand

nurse: Well Dr C (the anethetist) doesn't do that for some reason

me: oh....can you write it? (well someone should! He did LAST time)

nurse: i'll write for you

me: (gee thanks! Now maybe I won't be such a bother)

big enough you think? ;-)

* Really the nurses were super nice - I was just out of it....

19 feels like a good number!

After some more pain meds I moved to the recovery lounge. I got treated very nice. Toasty warm blankets, sandwiches and apple juice :-) DH arrived and then the clinic nurse came to see me. I got the whole be aware of OHSS speech (which I never got last time). Hubby drove me home - after stopping to stock up on protein powder, chips and DVD's. I'm feeling very sore - much sorer than last time. I spent the rest of the day snacking on protein, sleeping and watching DVD's. Twighlight and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Tomorrow I plan to do the same! Different movies though :-) I'm so glad I don't have to go to work tomorrow, like last time. Bring on the relaxation!

So 19 eggs! I'm not sure if that's that's better or worse than 12-13. Not sure if 'the more the better' applies in this case. The Doc said he would be really happy with 12. Last time I got 17. Anyway I refuse to worry - i'm just curious...

I get the fert report tomorrow arvo - I can't wait

Thanks to all those who stopped by and wished me well!!! It means soooo much to me.

I hope to catch up on reading and commenting soon!
