Hi ladies! I am tired this morning.
Jen - Congrats, again! I'm so happy for you. I can only imagine how excited your parents must be. I think that's the thing I'm most excited about if I ever get pregnant - telling my Mom. I think she might just pass out as I'm pretty sure she thinks we'll never have kids. I have been putting electrolyte tabs in my water to be on the safe side. I don't think my chances of OHSS are very high, at least not for severe, since we aren't doing a transfer until later. Kind of glad about that now!
Moni - Your scan was beautiful! I love seeing the little nugget in there. I bet hearing that is one of the most beautiful sounds in the world. When do you get released to your OB/GYN?
Beagle - It is depressing that Jeter is going to go out during a year in which they aren't in the playoffs. I heard yesterday that the last time they went two years in a row missing the playoffs was 92-93. Wow! They really need to get some younger players.
And I agree about A-Rod. He's the worst.
Erin - One more day until test day! Hang in there. These waits have got to be killer so I feel anxious for you myself. Your chart is looking beautiful though, so I hope that's a good sign.
Terri - How exciting about the playoff tickets! I'm jealous. That sounds like fun. I love going to baseball games. That is one of the serious downsides to living where we do, the closest city to go see professional sports is Seattle so we never get to go. I don't blame you for going - sometimes we just need to do things we want to do and not worry about it. Glad things are going well this cycle too. I hope things keep looking up around here.
kfs - Glad you got the insurance thing straightened out. Your new IVF coverage sounds amazing. I'm so jealous of you ladies that have it. It really doesn't seem fair that they can't figure out a way to make it apply everywhere. I think I read that when Massachusetts decided to cover it they figured the cost per person across the state was something like $3/year. I'd gladly pay that to help out others in my same situation.
Hi Amy and Brighteyez! Hope you guys are doing well!
I'm actually feeling pretty good today. Tired but otherwise okay. Still tender in ovaries and a little bloated but I guess that is to be expected. They prescribed me some Tylenol 3 so I took two on the way home yesterday, which allowed me to sleep the whole way home. I took two more when I went to bed last night as I could tell the others were waning.
The retrieval itself seemed to go pretty smoothly. The nurse came in and explained everything, I signed some paperwork and then she put the IV in my hand. She numbed the area with some lidocaine first which was awesome. I didn't even feel the needle go in when she put in the actual IV. The anesthesiologist then came in and asked me a few questions then we were off! They made me use the bathroom first, then took me to the OR where I pretty much feel asleep right away. I'm not sure if I told them I was ready to party.
Next thing I knew, I was in recovery and DH was coming in to sit with me. I felt crampy and little dizzy but otherwise fine. They took my vitals about three different times, let me drink some juice and eat crackers, and then I was off to get dressed back into my normal clothes. The whole process from the time we got there until we left was only 2 hours! Crazy.
Anyway, hoping for a good report today. I'm nervous!
So excited!!!
