ER report from today...

Everything went smoothly and they retrieved 15 eggs! I am very happy with that number, and now we are anxiously awaiting a call from the embryologist tomorrow for the fert report.  We are doing 100% ICSI due to our unexplained IF diagnosis.

I wasn't too nervous beforehand, but I did get a little weepy for some reasons (I blame it on the trigger shot)!  The last thing I remember was moving from the bed to the table and the next thing I know I was back in the recovery room asking for DH! Thank goodness I haven't had a bad reaction to the anesthesia and I've been resting comfortably all day with very minimal pain.  Took two tylenol this morning and will probably take a couple more before bed.  Feeling like I may be a little constipated (sorry, TMI) but we'll see how things go tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone with upcoming ER & ET! 

Me (34) DH (33) TTC #1 since 09/2003 Dx: Unexplained IF

12/10 Clomid + IUI #1 - BFN; 2/11 Clomid + IUI #2 - BFN; 5/11 Clomid + IUI #3 - BFN; 8/11 Injectables + TI - BFN; 10/11 Injectables + IUI - BFN

IVF #1 planned for November 2012

Sounds like your right on track! I've heard (here) that the, um, constipation can be related to the hormones. Just a glass or two of prune juice will fix that right up ;)

Anyway, best of luck to you!

TTC since October 2011. No luck yet :( But am learning lots and happy to share stuff we learn. Trying to Conceive Ticker
