Retrieval actually started off really well this morning. They were able to get to my right ovary, by getting two nurses to push on my abdomen, and push the ovary out of the way of the blood vessels. I told they they could hang me upside down from the ceiling if that's what it took. It actually worked, but apparently I was moving all over the place because they were pushing so hard, and the Dr. could not give me any more anesthesia to get me to stop moving, because my breathing was too shallow. You see, they do this in an office setting, and not the hospital. If it was done in the hospital, they would have been able to intubate (probably spelling that wrong) me and give me more anesthesia, but because it's done in the office they can only give me so much and can't intubate to control the air flow. The anesthesiologist was getting nervous about my breathing, so they had to wake me up. I had already been under an hour. He made them stop. They had only gotten 3 eggs by that time, all from my RIGHT ovary. Can you freaking believe it. They never got to finish getting them out of my right, and never even got to my left. So, the good news is they were able to access it, the bad news is they didn't have enough time to get them all out, and could only get 3. UGH! Isn't that a bummer. There were so many good eggs in that ovary. Now she's afraid of OHSS because all those eggs are being left in there to release on their own. So... I'm hoping for no OHSS, and 100% fertilization! so I'll have 3 to put back again. EEK! So dissapointing, but keeping the faith and my hopes up. At least I got 3. I know it only takes 1.
AGAIN, You guys are incredibly THE BEST EVER. Thanks for thinking of me!!!
