Tomorrow is Egg Retrieval

I can not believe how fast time has gone by and how well everything has turned out. Tomorrow, finally, is my Egg Retrieval and I am so excited. Here are my egg retrival pre-operative instructions:
  • the day before ER: DON'T EAT/DRINK ANYTHING after midnight. You may brush your teeth the morning of ER.
  • don't wear jewelry. notify anesthesiologist if you are wearing dentures/contact lenses.
  • wear comfortable clothing.
  • be at SIRM 45 minutes before your scheduled ER. bring the consent forms, already reveiwed, and be prepared to sign in front of SIRM staff.
  • a fresh sperm sample will be neede if your partner's sperm is to be sued, unless otherwise noted.
  • expect to be at SIRM between 2 and 2 1/2 hours.
  • because of the IV sedation, you will not be allowed to drive after the procedure. please arrange to have a ride home.

DH will take 1/2 day off and then DM will come over to take care of me until DH comes come in the evening. I pray that RE gets lots of healthy follicles and that I don't get OHSS. I look forward to my ET on Monday, if all goes well.
