12/6/2017 0 Comments day after egg retrievalDeep breaths. I'm trying to be relaxed and positive. A few days ago, I found out I only had 7-10 follicles and would only get 10 eggs, max. This was disappointing to me, because last time I had 16 eggs, which is pretty close to the best amount you can get (15). The nurse reassured me that a lower amount of eggs means that you are getting a better quality egg, but I don't know, since I read that 15 is the best number.
Right now, I'm just trying to stay positive and hope that all seven fertilize (even though that is very optimistic). The goal is to have two great embryos to put in (since I'm 37... and paying for this myself) on day five and some to freeze for later. So, I was planning on going to work today because the nurse said I would be fine to go in, just a bit sore. But I did not feel fine after the retrieval, it hurt a lot! I had trouble walking and mainly slept and watched TV in bed. I woke up a few times in the night to pee and take more Tylenol (the only painkiller you're allowed) and decided to take the day (well, work from home). I started my progesterone suppositories this morning, these were the most brutal meds I took last time because they made me sad. But if I get a baby, it's worth it!! So nervous about today's call but doing my best to relax. I'll check in with the results when I can.
