May 6, 2009
My eggs have been harvested! The procedure was yesterday. Everything went really well, and they were able to retrieve 32 eggs!!! That's insane! They said my ovaries were huge, which is a good thing for IVF, not such a good thing for me....now I am sooo bloated and cramping really bad! It feels like the worst case of gas pain. They said it should improve over the next 1-2 weeks, because they stuck my ovaries so many times they are full of blood and swollen. Then last night my eggs and Chad's sperm met...it must have been love at first sight because 22 eggs were fertilized! Now their frozen in little straws waiting to be implanted. Not your typical 'Birds and Bee's' story. So much for feeling better after I finished the fertility meds, I feel just as crappy now due to the bloating and discomfort from surgery. Anyways, I'm taking it easy today, Dr.'s orders, before my expansion tomorrow.
