We just finished the procedure and I am sitting with Leandra in the recovery room waiting for the drugs to wear off. Everything went well and she is taking a little nap right now.
The process officially started for us at about 12:42 pm when Leandra popped her Xanax pill in advance of the procedure. We arrived at the clinic and found out that there were four scheduled procedures and we were the last to go.
I was in the room with her the entire time as the doctor was working his magic. It was funny talking to him about the NFL, MLB, NBA and NCAA during the process. (Total sports fan.)
I'll skip the details except to say that there was some noticeable discomfort at times. The ultrasound was pretty cool as he was moving around the ovaries and sucking out all of the follicles.
We ended up with 15 eggs. Even though we had around 30 follicles for both ovaries, therie was no guarantee that there would be an egg in each of them. The eggs they did obtain will be looked at to make sure that the healthy ones are used.
Now that she is done and resting, it's "my turn." Don't worry, I won't be writing about it. If you can't figure it out, then talk to your kids. They can fill you in.
