Egg Retrieval

Our egg retrieval was this morning.  Dr. Bopp sucked out 11 eggs.  :-)  We will find out tomorrow how many fertilized.  This time was a little different.  The last time we did IVF, I had an IV with a pain meds in a syringe.  They would push a little in every time I needed it.  This time at this clinic, I was under anesthesia.  I remember the medicine burning as it went in and that's the last thing I remember.  The next thing I remember is waking up and being told they got 11 eggs.  Dr. Bopp came and visited me.  He was said he was happy with the way everything went.  I can take pain meds, but I haven't yet.  I feel VERY bloated.  I've bee feeling that way for a week, but its worse now.

Do you want to know something ironic? I miscarried one year ago today. My follicles matured and were retrieved a day early... today... We didn't plan it this way. Do you think its a sign?


Last time, 14 eggs were retrieved.  8 fertilized.  4 lived to day 3.  2 lived to day 5 and both were transferred.  One attached and I miscarried around 10 weeks.  The baby stopped growing at 8 weeks and died after 9 weeks.

I'm excited and scared at the same time.  Please send up prayers for us!

Take Care!
