The blessed dozen!

Egg retrieval was this morning at 10:00am.... I was called back at 9:15am and signed some papers and they went over discharge instructions. They started an IV and gave me some fluids and an antibiotic in my IV...they wheeled me back to the OR about 9:50 and I had to scoot over to the OR table. They placed my legs in stirrups (like the ones they use in labor beds).... I told the nurse "this is real awkward..."  and they placed me on a cardiac monitor and vital sign monitor. They put a nasal cannula in my nose and gave me some oxygen then gave me some versed and fentanyl in my IV....I was asleep pretty quickly but I remember waking up during the retrieval and saying "ouch" I need more medicine!!! I got some more meds and went back to sleep and woke up in the recovery room. I said sooo....how many eggs did they get???? They said 12!!!!! I said, what??? 12?? WOW!!! That's amazing!!! They gave us a sheet of paper that said not all the eggs will be mature and of good quality but 12 is a wonderful starting number, especially for a girl with 1 ovary! That's just a miracle in itself! I was in a good bit of pain so they gave me some Tylenol and had some nausea but all in all I feel pretty good. Just really sore at the moment! So at this moment they are injecting Keith's sperm into my eggs and tomorrow they will call us and let us know how many fertilized! I cant wait to hear! I am hoping for at least 6 eggs to be fertilized and mature and good quality! So for now I am going to go lay down and rest and recover from todays events and celebrate by eating some Pastry Art Baby bites!!! :) Praise be to God, for He is soooo good!
