I completly forgot to update this with my egg collection story. To be honest I have been out of it for the last few days! That sedation stuff is gooood!
We turned up at the clinic in good time on monday and straight away I was ushered downstairs and OH was quickly kissed good by! It was a funny old set up. It was a lovely warm room with 3 recliner chairs and 2 trollys. First of all I was asked to change into the gown in the loo, then I was sat in one of the comfy recliner chairs and asked a load of questions like, "are you wearing any nail polish" , "do you have any false limbs" and so on. So i'm sitting in this room there is another girl across form me in her gown waiting for her turn and another girl sitting drinking tea recovering, a girl on a trolly who has just come back from theater and the nurses fussing around. It was a weird old setup but it kinda worked. It meant there was always someone to chat with and it was friendly. About 10 minuets before it was my time I had the canula popped it, and my god that hurt. They did it in the crease of my elbow but struggled with a vein. It ended up being almost on the out side of my arm, so was quite painful.
The rest is a little blurry! I was made comfy, whch included legs in the stirups, there was a slight issue with this due to my long legs, so for the next 5 minuets I had a lovely nurse adjusting them, but it resulted in her head right on my bits! I then comfirmed my details and they started to inject the sedation, I had the funny taste in my mouth and I remember saing something like "ooooo I can feel it" That was all I remember, next thing I was being shiffted onto the trolly and wheeled back in the room. Somewhere over an hour disapered and next thing im back on the chair drinking tea and eating biscuits!
It was lovely to chat to other in the same position, but it was so nerve wracking wondering how many eggs did they get, has it worked. Eventually I meet OH in another room where I was told they got 7 eggies! I was over the moon and so was OH. We were told someone would call tomorrowwith fertilisation results. When we got home OH cooked some food because I was starving and then I promptly fell asleep for 3 hours!
All in all It was a good experiance, I haven't really had much pain, just this almighty feeling of trapped farty wind!
That night I slept like a log, I woke at 7 to start the pesseries and fell back to sleep. I woke to the phone ringing, it was the clininc letting me know out of the 7 eggs, 5 were suitable and were injected, out of those 5, 4 fertilised! To say I was happy was an understatement, its great news.
We are back to the clininc tomorrow for transfer and then the 2 week wait begins...........
