Today was the egg retrieval and everything went great! We got there at 9am and went back to get things ready. When we walked in I saw a familiar face, Jenni. Jenni is a friend from church and I had forgotten that she worked there. She works only in the surgery part so I have never seen her in my previous visits, plus she only works on Thursday's. Well, everyone is familiar now, Casey was laughing at how everyone knew me! but I have been there almost everyday for the last week and a half.
It was nice to see a familiar face and know that Jenni would be with me. Everyone there was so nice. The last thing I remember was going back to the operating room and them saying, time 10:11am. Then I woke up in my room and I heard one of the nurses say "you can go get Casey now". So I was in recovery for about 30 mins I guess. I woke up groggy and with a little discomfort, but besides that I was surprised at how well I felt. She keep asking me about my pain level every 10 mins. I told her 2, she said I was a trooper then, most people seemed to be in more pain. I like it when my high tolerance kicks in! Before we left the embryologist came in and told us everything looked great and that they were able to retrieve 13 eggs. We will get more information on them tomorrow.
So we came home and I slept for a while, just hanging out in bed all day. Casey has been taking good care of me. He just gave me my first injection "in the buttocks" and he did AWESOME! I was really worried about him giving me the shot, although the whole time he kept telling me it would be nothing. He will have to give me this injection "progesterone" for the next 10 days and then possibly longer. I am feeling better about it since tonight went so smoothly. Thank you for all the messages and text. We truly appreciate all of your love and support. We will keep you posted on how the developing goes!!
