Egg Retrieval

I had my egg retrieval this morning. I was brought out back to the surgical area where I changed into a Johnny, had an IV placed, vital signs checked. I met with a nurse, Dr Huang and the anesthesiologist. I was inducted with propofol in the operating room. Dr Huang tried to make me feel less nervous by telling me it was like an ultrasound but with anesthesia... Was it? I don't know :-). The procedure took about 20-30 minutes. I felt fine after, a lot better than after general anesthesia! 

I had 14 mature eggs removed! She said the normal amount is 8-10.  Bill had to deliver a specimen in the office. She is going to call me tomorrow to let me know how many fertilized with ICSI.  Crossing my fingers that this works!!!!!
