Happy Egg Day (Not Easter)


Good Mooorrrnnniiinggg.......

Just got back from egg retreival, still feeling a little loopy from the anaesthisia, so bear with me....

We arrived at the "klinka" clinic around 0800. They led us into a very bright, cheery yellow room complete with cute baby pictures photographed by Anne Geddes all over the wall. The beds had yellow sunflower comforters, not hospital like at all. It reminded me of the room I grew up in up in Ohio, awwwwww.

They came in and took Lisa first. She came back about 10 minutes later speaking to Petra in her best German she could muster. I could only laugh at her intoxicated talk! I thought she was coming back prepped for the surgery, but they had already performed it, WOW, that was fast. They then came in for moi. They wheeled me in another room, not hospital like at all. They placed my legs high in the stirups and fastened me up to the IV. I ignored the needle and only could focus on the Mexican salsa music that was filling the room so sweetly. I was greeted cheerfully by the anaethisiaologist, then by Dr. Atilla Anna with his sterile mask, no BO to be smelled at all.

I awoke to words coming from Petra, although, I thought it was Lisa, telling me it was time for dinner. I looked forward at Dr. Anna and freaked out by trying to jolt my leg out of the stirup and saying "josh is going to kill me, I'm not dressed for dinner HA-HA"....I suppose dinner was to at some Mexican restaurant! LOL

All the while, J was in the "Happy" room getting happy. I was scared for him because actually he is (I think I'll save this part for myself) I will mention however, the "Happy" room was no like no other I've seen in a Drs. office. Very fancy pictures dripping off the walls...Hmmmm....Quite the contrary, never seen anything like it. LOL Anyhoo, they wheeled me back in the "sunshine" room where I rested while trying to collect my bearings. The nurse came in and checked blood pressure and then Dr. Anna finally came in to give the news we were so desperately waiting for..............

14 Beautiful Eggs.....Yep, you read that right, F O U R T E E N EGGS!!!! YIPPPPPPEEEE!! That is more than both times before. I can hardly believe it. Tomorrow they will call after 1000, which is 0400 your time, with the Fertilzation Report. This is an important report that tells us exaclty how many eggs fertilized. As we all know, not all will fertilize, as I am considered "old" and my eggs may not fair as well. We shall see. I reminded Dr. Anna that they all should be ICSI'd, (Introcytoplasmic injection,Dr. does it manually by hand) and he said ""of course" He also mentioned ""THE"" 5 day transfer which would bring us to May 22nd. Soooooooo, What shall be will be, so be it!!! Grow embryos, grow!!!!

Well I must rest now as my ovaries are feeling quite perforated. I am going to dream of my 14 little darlings growing in the dish. 14 Kids, that's funny. They are so wanted and already in and apart of my heart. Hopefully they will become part of my life and motherhood will finally come to fruition for me. I AM READY!!! Whatever should be in the ""Plan""!

Let the fertilization begin.....

14 Kisses

Oh JJ...14 eggs! God is great! But 14 or 1...I have such good feelings about this. Maybe it's your blog writing that keeps the optimism up...IDK. I'm also feeling loopy right along with you. Rest happy. Lots of love,
