Today is the start of our new lives

It's been awhile since I've written anything in here. I was a little worried about going into this cycle at first. I was told that there was a slim chance it could get canceled. I was only on bcps for 5 days and then when I started the stims I wasn't responding right away. Eventually things picked up a bit and I was responding MUCH better than I did last cycle. Last cycle I only had 2 good sized follies, ended up ovulating too early and it was turned into an IUI. I really can't even remember how many days I stimmed for either, I think it was only 5 days. This cycle I stimmed for 12 days and Wednesday the 14th I got my call that I would be going in for my ER Friday April 16th. What I didn't realize is how early we would have to be there, the nurse told me to be there at 5 am this morning. I went to bed fairly early last night, I believe it was about 9:30 - 9:45 pm unfortunately I woke up at 2:45 and just couldn't go back to sleep so I went downstairs and went online for a bit. I knew I would have to be up by 4 anyways so I just stayed up and eventually got ready.

When I got there they some how had lost all of my consent forms that I had signed before so we had to fill all of them out again. I met with the anesthesiologist and she told me whatever she had to tell me. The last thing I remember was them sticking the needle for the anesthesia, that's it. Apparently after the procedure when I woke up, which I don't remember I got myself up and into the wheel chair and then they wheeled me back into the recovery room which I don't remember. I just remember when I was finally somewhat with it asking Dave how I got there. Then he told me that they wheeled me in here and when they were getting me situated I guess I had asked if I could take a snooze, but Dave said the way I said it was pretty funny.

Now onto the good news, they were able to get 9 eggs. I have to wait till tomorrow to get my fertilization report. I hope they call me early so I'm not waiting all day but they did say to give it till 6pm. That will definitely make for a long day! I wanted to update how things were going. All in all it was a great day!!
