ER DAY!

I didn't sleep a bit on Wednesday night. It didn't help that our hotel wasn't the greatest, the sheets were itchy, the air conditioner wasn't that great, and I was a nervous wreck! I was at the outpatient surgery center at 7 am sharp. They took me back, got my IV started and then we waited... Dr. Lipari finally arrived and it was our turn. I kissed Brad and walked into the OR. They got me situated and it seemed like FOREVER before they finally gave me medication. I was strapped down, in stirrups and I could hear the pulse ox going crazy with my anxiety. I woke up to hear we had 10-15 eggs retrieved. I got dressed and hopped into the car. My nurse called about an hour later and was excited to tell us they had retrieved 13 eggs. I was hoping for at least 15, but I will definitely take 13!!

Last night was a very long night for me. I tossed and turned all night. The thought that my little eggs were waiting to be fertilized...it gnawed on me all night long. So, now, I am at work, waiting. My belly is bloated and sore and I am still a nervous wreck. I am trying to be patient, trying not to worry...PLEASE GOD...let my embryos be okay!!

*edit*

So, got the call from the nurse coordinator. 12 embryos fertilized! 12! I am sooo excited! I know I will sleep much better tonight. I won't hear about my embryos again until Sunday, which will be day 3. Assuming that everything looks good, we will proceed with the day 5 transfer. Now, we have to decide how many embryos to transfer...
