ER done and Fert Report

ER was yesterday morning.  I was in a lot of pain afterwards.  The nurse put a heating pad on me and showed DH where to rub my lower back. I woke up pretty woozy and kept asking my DH questions.   I wanted to know how many were retrieved and what color they were (?!)  I asked if the eggs were pink or blue, haha. When I felt well enough to get dressed my blood pressure dropped and I almost fainted.  On the way home I made DH stop by McDonald's because I really wanted fries.  I slept for about 3 hours and kinda hobbled around the rest of the day.  ER was much more painful than my hysterascopy last June.  

 I got the much anticipated call from the embryologist this morning. 14 retrieved, 10 mature, 9 fertilized.  She said they would call back with an update on Saturday.  ET is set for Monday 1/7. I am a little disappointed that there weren't more retrieved.  I was really hoping the trigger would bring a few of the small ones along. I need to focus on our 9 little embies and send them growing vibes.  :-)
