Thoughts Before Retrieval

  • I am sitting in a motel room drinking as much water as possible until midnight.
  • I am not focusing on numbers (but if you are you can visit AdvancedFertility and read about IVF success and number of eggs retrieved).
  • I am wondering if I should trim up the nether regions tonight? or just go with how I feel, which is, "I don't want to shave and I don't care what they think of my hairy cooch" Maybe I'll shave for the transfer.
  • I hope the anesthesia doesn't make me cry when I am in recovery. That tends to be my reaction and I don't want to cry until I hear the number of eggs retrieved and then the fertilization report.
  • I don't feel bloated enough. I can barely feel my ovaries and think I could probably handle a moderate workout.
  • At least I won't be at risk for OHSS.
  • The nurses showed a great video of an egg retrieval at the IVF orientation. I wanted to post this video on the blog, but I can't find it or one online that is as detailed as the one they showed. I can't settle. Sorry, no video.
