And it begins...

My procedure went well this morning, I was semi-awake the whole time.  I remember that I talked and talked and talked...but I have no recollection of what I was talking about. It's probably better that way!  Haha. 

We ended up harvesting eleven eggs.  We should know tomorrow how many of those were mature and how many fertilize.  Praying fervently that the one we need is one of them!

This retrieval "hit" me a little differently than past ones.  I recovered more quickly and was sent home earlier -- but I've been in a little more pain than I remember, too. As long as I'm seated or lying down and don't make any quick movements I do alright.  It's the standing up and walking that hurts the most. I'm only taking Tylenol for the pain, and as we inch towards 9pm I can tell its wearing off because even lying down with a heating pad on my abdomen, I am hurting. 

I will update as soon as we have news. Thank you to each and every one of you for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers!
