IVF Post: #9

The day of the Retrieval. Wow. I was so nervous. It really was not as bad as I thought. Being put to sleep helped ease my nerves and it provided a little break during this intense crazy day. 13 eggs were retrieved successfully…out of 15 follicles. It’s apparently a good amount. It was so hard to leave them, I have become so protective of them. Such a weird concept, to have them taken from your body, to be left in a doctor’s office, in a test tube, in the hands of others. I will find out more tomorrow. Fingers crossed they will fertilize.
