The retrieval!

October 27

This was the most nervous I have been this whole journey.  It was to the point that I was shaking a bit.  When we got to the fertility clinic we were sent to an empty lobby and then brought back to the OR waiting area.  I had already taken 10mg of Valium but I was still very nervous.  The nurse that came to place my IV had to try 3 times because of this, and because of my elevating nerves she gave me a bonus dose of versed.  She then became my best friend and the process was much better.  Andi was there to hold my hand and give me support although after the versed she could have been big bird for all I knew.  The next thing I knew I was back in the same spot with bad cramps and cotton mouth.   It was all over and this little chicken had layed a dozen eggs.
