Today was our retrieval day! JJ and I headed down to Stamford for 7:45AM..Anxiety was surprisingly low..(no xanax..lol) Once they called me in the blood pressure started to kick into high speed..JJ went to the OR waiting room with me, we met with the anesthesologist and Dr. Lavy. Then I headed back to the operating room. UGH! first thing I saw stirrups..and anesthesia..yeah not a pleasant thought, but it was all good..Dr. Lavy is a fabulous doctor and ans as well as his staff.. Shantai is amazing..they all really relax you. I was talking with him and the anesthesologist and the next I knew I was in the recovery room. 11 eggs were retrieved. They hope for 5 to 10..so my ovaries did a good job!
JJ and I headed home about an hour after in recovery. Thanks Jamie, Lisa, and mom for the visits..and to everyone for the calls and prayers. It really means a lot of us..Today's retrieval is day 0, tomorrow day 1 and so on. They hope by day 4 or 5 the embryos will be at their full potential and then the transfer will take place. Probably Monday or Tuesday of next week. Any remaining embryo's that are at a good vitality will be frozen for future use..shhhh don't tell Lisa she signed up for 2 rounds..Tomorrow we will see how many mixed well with JJ's (baby batter)..Jerad's creation of a new saying... So at home now, resting on the couch with my mom and Lisa keeping me company..My mom brought me a heating pad that was my Noni Lota's..talk about old..on high, it's warm..better than nothing.
Thank you so much for all your prayers and support..This journey is surely on it's way!!
