Egg retrieval was at 0830 this morning, though we had to arrive at 0730 so I felt nervous good and proper for an hour. Same as last time, I started to feel a fair amount of pain in the last hour before pick-up which made me shit scared of early ovulation.
It went well though. One less egg than last time, and I suspect we’ll get about 6 or 7 to fertilise, and it would just be fabby if one sticks.
I decided to be brave and refuse the lovely fentanyl in recovery this time, and bugger it, I’ve been nauseous all afternoon anyway! Nevertheless, the pain has been minimal compared to the February pick-up, perhaps as today produced less ovarian bleeding and 11 punctures rather than 17.
S said there was some heavy-ish vaginal bleeding and I was wang-packed with gauze during my slumber. The recovery nurses must have sneakily pulled the gauze out again-there’s nothing there now.
