Everything went well! Since we live about three hours away from RE office, we went up last night and stayed. I had to be there at 8:30; dh collected at the hotel. We have found that that goes a lot better than him trying to do it in the office-LOL! I was really worried about nausea; anesthesia makes me deathly ill. Since I was hurting so bad, nurse gave an IM shot of demerol and phenergan-that helped! I wasn't sick at all and we drove the three hours home, so that was awesome. I am hurting pretty badly-feels like when I had my laparoscopy. Does this go away prettty quickly?

We got 13 eggs! Woohoo! RE's office will call tomorrow b/f p.m. to tell us the quality of eggs and how they are doing. I kept asking about the semen analysis and they just told me that no news was good news.

Anyhoo, I laid in the bed all day and will continue to do so tomorrow. No water submersion for a week, find out more about transfer tomorrow. I will let you all know as soon as I hear something!

Yeah! 13 eggs is great. I can't wait to hear about the report! Good luck!

Okay, nurse just called from RE office. Out of 13 eggs, 11 were mature. Out of the 11, 5 fertilized. Is this good? We would like some to freeze, but I am worried. What did all of you have? Ahhhhh!

I sounds very good, about the pain, for me it was brutal but only because my doctor doesn't give you any pain killers, only Tylenol, but after two-three days it was fine, I had 25 eggs, 15 were mature and all fertilized, but out of those 15 only 5 continued to develop, I transfered two (blighted ovum) and have three on ice.
So if you end up with five that is good news, congrats and KUP.

The pain goes away It does sort of feel like a scope. It went away in a couple of days. I only got tylenol, though.
