Good work ovaries!

Yahoo! 15 eggs retrieved this morning! Higher than the original 8 we were told earlier, but we'll find out tomorrow how many were mature and if any fertilized. Now begins the excruciating part. The waiting, waiting and more waiting! :-)
ER wasn't as terrible as I thought it would be. I'm just super glad that the nurses let me keep my socks on under the booties (my feet are ALWAYS freezing) AND that we had an outstanding anesthesiologist. I was awake and chatting up a storm before they even wheeled me out to the recovery room. After a nice long afternoon nap, a steaming hot bowl of my favorite Chinese take-out Wonton soup (thanks hubby for taking such good care of me)-- I'm heading calling it a day and heading off to catch some zzz's. The 5:15 am wake-up is going to be a killer tomorrow. Would love to take the day off...sigh. Oh well. TGIF!!

    My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hang in there, I know it is so hard to wait. That is one of the worst things I think we have to go through. But, I am sure it will be all worth it. :)

  2. Wow 15 eggs! See, you did have as many as you wanted. I always thought waiting for the fert. report was harder than waiting during the 2WW. Most people don't feel that way, but I did. I am sure you will get a glowing report tomorrow.
