Left ovary was a disappointment

Today went well, for the most part. After I said a last minute prayer asking for calmness, the A guy asked me if I were getting sleepy yet. I said no. He asked me again, and I said a little. Next thing I know, I'm waking up and it's all done.

They were able to retrieve three eggs, which was disappointing to me, since I had at least five good follies going on, with a total of nine follies. It seems that two of the good follies were on my left ovary, which the doctor just couldn't get to. I knew this was a possibility, but it sucks to know that I'm limited to what my right ovary can produce.

Apparently, when they started to drain the first follicle, I must have felt something, because I jerked my leg, and about knocked the poor nurse over. She was being told to do something by the doctor, suck out the follie fluid, or something, and she was trying to, while also trying to put my leg back up. I guess I also was grabbing at the cannula in my nose, though of course, I don't remember this. I guess I'm not that cooperative under sedation.

I do admit to crying some when I came out, mostly because of only getting three eggs. But also because the cramps hurt like a SOB! They brought me some Tylenol, which did kick in after a while. Today's recovery has been pretty good. The ride home was okay as I took my pillow with me and laid my seat back, and slept most of the way. What has been most sore, though, is that each time when I need to pee, my bladder acts like it's over-full, and it hurts. You know, when you've gone to a theater and have just finished watching a 2.5 hour movie after drinking the large soda, because, you know, it's only $0.25 more, and now you have to pee so bad, that it hurts to stand up straight? That kind of hurt. I'm assuming it's all just par for the course.

I do remember when I woke up, looking over in the corner of the room, and seeing Hubby all decked out in his surgical gown, mask and cap. All he needed was a stethoscope around his neck, and he'd be Dr. Hubby.

So I guess while I am disappointed with the results, I am also happy with the results. This was more than my old RE ever was able to get out of me. So that's a definite plus. And assuming that all goes well in the next few days, I will get my chance. And that is all I ever wanted. A chance.
