Yay! The egg retrieval went well!

I just had my egg retrieval today, and I was very pleased with how it went.  First off, I discovered that I am a TOTAL lightweight when it comes to anesthesia.  I was out like a light from the moment he gave me just a smidge of Versed.  So thankfully, I don't remember a thing.

The other great thing is that we got 10 eggs!  That's twice as many as my Dr. thought she was going to get.  I am waiting now with bated breath for the call from the embryologist to see how many were mature, and also how many fertilized.  I will probably hear something later today.

Oddly, I feel a little bit better today than I have felt in a week or so (other than the grogginess from the anesthesia, that is).  I am wondering if having those follicles aspirated is the reason for that.  I don't feel anywhere near as bloated as I did just before the procedure.  Regardless, I am going to take it easy for the rest of today.

Maybe S can get me some Indian food tonight....I am really craving some Saag Paneer for some reason.
