As I walked back to the OR room I asked the nurse if I would be awake when the doc came in... She said no, I would already be asleep. I was 'that' patient. I told her could she please have her come in before they put me under? I just need to see her eyes!!! Please please. She said ok I'll see what I can do. Two seconds later my doc came in the room. I have this fear of the doc not knowing who they are operating on. The one surgery (I've had 10+ over the years) that I didn't see the doctor prior to the surgery was the surgery where the doctor almost killed me. Luckily my doctor today totally 100% understood me and was happy to come in... Even gave me a hug ❤️❤️❤️
The longest part of the procedure was trying to get an IV in me..... I lost count but it was either 10 or 12 sticks... I was totally ready for those meds when he finally got the IV in....
Waking up in recovery was a breeze. My doc came in again and chatted us up. Come to find out this is her day off this week. I was like WHAT!? She said that because of my history there was no way she was not going to be here for me. Day off or not. She was going to be here. Who does that? Who is that kind? She doesn she is great. Compassionate. Caring. Funny. And best of all she is Real. She tells it like it is. No hold backs!
So today is now day zero. Today they grow sperm and eggs hoping to create as many healthy embryos as they can get They will transfer ONE embryo back either on day 3 or day 5. I guess stats show that day 4 embryos never take. We hope that we have healthy and strong enough embryos to make it out to day 5. If this is the case then it will be a Tuesday transfer.
Each day the embryologist will grade the embryos and I will get those results. Not that I really know what any of those results mean .... That's what my IVF friend is for :)
So until we know when transfer will be it is quite on my end. Starting the Progestrone in oil shots tonight. Have heard they are really painful. Wish me luck!
