Donor retrieval today

[julie]

I had my retrieval done today for my donation. They got 28 eggs...woohoo! I am pretty darn sore though on both my right and left side and kind of crampy. I don't remember being this sore last time... for those of you who recently did IVF, do you remember how long the soreness lasted?

I got a card and a generous gift basket from the couple that I'm donating my eggs to. Just reading their card reminded me and emphasized the reasons why I am doing this. They said they have struggled with infertility for so long that they had just lost hope, and that I had given them new hope. I'm so glad I went through with this. I had some doubts and concerns (especially given my OHSS last time) but that card made it more than worth it.

Thanks to all of you for your support! I just love this site and all of you!!!!

Julie-THey retrieved about same # from me and I was glad I took the next day off work as I was still pretty sore but the 2nd day after wasnt bad, of course I was still off work since we had out ET that day (2day transfer) so I cant give you a 'real life' I was functioning back to X capacity on this day sort answer.

What a nice sentiment for them to send you that, and how nice it will be to get your bill/bills paid off!

oh you might gotten a larger # pokes too, they had to do 3 on me last time and while I only remmber pressure DH about died later that day askign how bad it hurt because he said it looked horrible! They showed me the catheter needle the next day and it was HUGE <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0">

You should type it out and put it on your web sight. Let people really understand another side of infertility and how others can help. I was talking to my neighbor a little bit the other day and she shocked me by telling me that she had a seragent carry her daughter (how ever that is spelled) of course then her daughter came outside and we stopped talking about it but it was amazing to hear her side of a story.

That's a wonderful idea Hannah. I was just so moved by their card. That's interesting about your neighbor and the surrogate carrying her baby... what a small world it really is!

How are you and the twins doing? Are you still planning on visiting out here for christmas? We are looking forward to seeing you again!!!
