Ebryo Retrieval

Tuesday we went in for the embryo retrieval. I had to fast and my appointment was 10:00 am so that wasn't too bad. We arrived and they were all waiting for me so I went right back and got changed and was taken to the room where they were going to do the procedure. The anastesialogist came in and explanied what he was going to do and how I would feel afterwards and talked me through putting in the pick line and giving me the anastesia. Dr. Berbey came in and checked my ovaries and said they looked good and that it would be over quickly and he would talk to me afterwards. I went right to sleep and woke up like from a nap which was nice. They brought me into the other room to rest in a chair and my mom came in and sat and chatted with me. Jesse was still off doing his business so he wasn't back yet to come in. Then we went and talked with Dr. Berbey and he said that he got 8 follicles and that they would be doing ICSI on them in a little bit and that I could call tomorrow and find out how many fertilized. Then he explained all the other medications I have to start taking and how important it was not to miss any of them. We had talked about only doing the first shot of Progesterone that day and then suppositories so he had the nurse give me the shot which was a piece of cake and didn't even feel it which was great becuase everyone says how painful they are. Then I went to the pharmacy and picked up the gel progesterone, estridol, folic acid and a few other things. So I look like a walking pharmacy with all the pills I get to take for the rest of the time!! I start tomorrow with all of them so we will see how that goes.
