Know that you will be just fine! It is a very quick procedure, and there will be some cramping afterwards, but it will not be major. At least mine wasn't. As for the numbers, I'm not sure about that question. I do not think they would get more than what is seen, but they can get less. I had 16 follies, and they got 14 eggs, 8 of which fertilized. Best wishes to you!

Kacie do not worry. You will be asleep and awake before you realize it. One word of advice that I can give is DO NOT lie flat after ER for the first 24 hours. If you have a recliner sleep there for at least the firsts night. This helps with the gas you will get. Drink plenty of fluids, I drank G2 Gatorade..
As far as the eggs, yes they can get more at retrieval than what they state from the u/s. But not always..

I am on my 2ww.. My beta is Tues., May 11th. I am very anxious for Tues to get here. THAT, the 2ww, I think, is the absolute worst of it all!! Only because it will drive you stir crazy with symptoms :? :shock: and the wait.. LONGEST 2weeks of your life!

Good Luck girl! :)
