Dan and I are back from Augusta and have completed part one of the trip. We got there late Saturday night to prepare for the 7am procedure on Sunday. They had me take a Valium an hour before the retrieval so I was feeling good by the time I got to the clinic. We were greeted by the embryologist, Carla. The staff consisted of the Anesthesiologist Practictioner, Dr Servy, Carla and Joan, the nurse. Once I was in the gown, it all happened pretty quickly. The gave me something to knock me out, and about 20 minutes later, Dr Servy was there to tell me they got 11 eggs. He said anything over 10 at my age is excellent. So I guess I feel OK about it?....
After that, I was able to get dressed and loaded in to my car where Dan had made a bed for me in the back. They gave me some Tylenol with codeine so I was feeling nothing. I slept the whole ride home. So now we wait for the embryologist to get back to us on how many eggs fertilized with Dan's sperm. Once we know how many, they take a few days to let the embryos grow, and decide whether to put them in my uterus on Wednesday or Friday of this week. I'm in a little bit of pain.....feels like I have a urinary tract infection....but the Dr says it's normal. Keep the prayers going.....I'm a nervous wreck! Love to all.
