Day 12 IVF (30 March 2013) Saturday

Ovum Pick Up day!! hurray!!!!

anxiety, worry, nervousness... give me more adjectives please!!

It was a nice morning walk to the bus stop with my hubby though... Once I reach IVF centre, I dashed for the toilets. butterflies in the stomach... bowels and bladder went crazy... By the time I settled my business, my hubby was at the reception. After a few confirmation statements, we "went on separate ways". My hubby went to collect sperm and I headed for the operating threatre (OT).

After another run to the toilet, I was ready in the operation robe. The staff were friendly and he could sense my anxiety; he kept assuring me.

The needle for the drip is huge!

The OT was intimidating. Fortunately, I only had the chance to ask,"Is this sedation?" and I knocked out completely. By the time, I woke up, everything was done and I was lying in the resting room.

I gain consciousness fast but my blood pressure was low so the nurse did not allow me to leave.

3 follicles were taken. I hope that all 3 will be fertilised.

Next up? Monday - to put back the fertilised eggs.

*pray doubly hard*
