So...I ended up being okay. After talking to my nurse last night, she phoned the doctor. He finally responded at 11:00 p.m. I went in this morning and my blood work was okay. :)
Later I got an email from my doctor and a text from my nurse. They wanted to let me know it was okay that I had injected the wrong medicine. They both new how stupid I felt, so I think they wanted me to feel better. They are so great!
My surgery is tmr. morning at 10:00 a.m. They told me that the typical surgery takes only 15-20 minutes, but because I have so many eggs, mine will be 45-60 minutes long. Also, because I have so many eggs, they will have 2 embryologists collecting my eggs and scaling them. I guess usually they only have one.
I have to be intubated and under anesthesia, so that kind of sucks, but the doctor assures me it would be painful without. They have to insert a catheter in through my fallopian tubes, all the way through to my ovaries, to extract each egg.
Once I wake up I have to be put on antibiotics and pain meds. I also have to come home and be on bed rest for 4 days. That worked out perfect with it being a long holiday weekend. I also have to weigh myself and measure my waist daily to make sure I go back to my normal size. I thought that was kind of funny.
Once the eggs are harvested tmr. they will fertilize them with 1 sperm each. Then they will let them grow for 5 days and then freeze them. The embryos will stay frozen until my body unswells and I am able to have them transferred back into my body. I am really hoping this will happen in February. Fingers crossed.
They also mentioned that I may hyper stimulate after retrieval. I didn't even know that was possible. Hoping this isn't the case.
Last month they had 15 people do IVF, here were their stats:
Of the 15, 7 got pregnant and 4 of them are pregnant with twins.
Wish me luck!!! :)
