Well, the day has come and gone with a successful egg retrieval surgery, quite a lot to accomplish by Noon on Sunday. Dr. W (the surgeon) was able to retrieve 11 eggs from my 15 follicles, which was totally normal and very encouraging. The pain for the most part feels like I’ve been punched in the stomach a few times, but all in all, it could be worse. I managed to get through most of the day on the remnants of the sedatives they had given to me in the OR and just started the hydrocodone prescription this evening. (I’m sorry for the poor grammar; the drugs are starting to kick in!)
At the end of the day, we’re left with a good and successful feeling, Praise God!
And, as I said during my inaugural blog post- I will show you the good, bad and ugly! Here's the bad/ugly- me freshly showered at 6am with no makeup, deodorant, lotion, body spray, nail polish, ready for surgery!
So glad it went well!!
