Egg Retrieval

I went in at 8:30 a.m. yesterday for the egg retrieval. Of course the IV didn't work the first try, but luckily it did the second. Why does that always seem to happen? You'd think I'd be used to needles by now, but IVs are so much worse than belly shots (not the kind you do at the bar! haha). Around 9 a.m. they took me back for the retrieval and Bill went to "do his part". I was sedated but not completely under for the retrieval. It was a strange feeling. I felt one or two of the sticks to get the egg, but mostly I was out of it. The minute they were through though, I was up!

WE GOT 18 EGGS!! Seven more than expected! Now I am just waiting to get the fertilization report. RING PHONE, RING!!
