Procedures and Results!

Ok this is going to be a long one. I didn't post yesterday but we both went in for our procedures. My procedure was at 10:30am. I didn't have anything to eat since dinner the night before so my stomach was not happy. When we went back into the room Frank was able to stay with me until the anesthesiologist was ready to put me to sleep. One thing I have to say is that the staff at our fertility clinic is amazing. Everyone is sooo super nice and caring. Anyway, I said goodnight to frank and the anesthesia kicked in. I barely said hi to the doctor before I was out. Next thing I knew I was awake. It was so quick I couldn't believe it. Plus, the anesthesia they use is awesome. I didn't feel sick at all! They had me sit up and walk to the next room over where Frank met me and we waited until they said I could leave. I only felt cramps and pressure for most of the day but mainly when I sat down or stood up. I only needed Tylenol. Today, I feel fine. Actually better because I don't have all of those eggs inside of me :)
Franks procedure was at 2:30pm. My grandparents came up to take care of us since I couldn't drive after having anesthesia. My grandma made us about 2 weeks worth of food for one day! My grandma stayed at the house with me and made me lunch while my grandfather took frank to his appointment. Frank texted me when he went in. We were both so nervous because his trial procedure came up with nothing so we had no idea what would happen. His procedure was a little more involved then mine so it took longer. He called me when he got out and was still groggy. He said he didn't know how it went but that it was a lot different than the first procedure because this one was more painful! When he got home he put ice and took Vicodin but still it was painful. Poor guy! He said the doctor would call with the results.
We had an awesome ravioli dinner and went to bed early. I have a cold right now so I am totally stuffed up so I didn't sleep well at all. Frank was in pain so he didn't sleep either.
This morning we both had to go back to work so at least our minds were busy. It was still hard wondering if they even got anything out of franks procedure! It was after 2pm when they finally called. Unfortunately I had my phone with me all day but still managed to miss this call.
The doctor left a voicemail letting us know that out of the 17 follicles they pulled out of me, 8 of them were able to be fertilized! Yay! That is great news! Even if a couple don't make it, we will still have one good one to transfer! And that's all we need :) I called frank and he was really happy that the procedure produced healthy sperm and my grandparent were also very very happy!
The doctor said they will call on Friday with an update and to schedule a time for my Sunday transfer. Until then, I take an antibiotic and progesterone gel to make sure my uterus is sticky!
What a crazy experience. Now we are on to the next phase which is worrying about the transfer and the horrible two week wait before we take a pregnancy test.
