While I was having injections, it was diagnosed that I made too many eggs.
According to the internet, the ideal numbers of eggs are 8 ~ 10, but my ovaries made over 20 eggs. What a hard worker my ovaries are! I'm proud of you!!
However, making too many eggs is not good for our body. It will cause OHSS, but it couldn't be helped. I already made them before I knew.
On the egg pick up day, I took a shower early in the morning. I wasn't allowed to put on any perfumes or fragrances. Because sometimes the strong perfume smell kills the eggs.
And I had to bring a panty shield, attached to my underwear, because I may have some spotting following the pick up. OK, I'm ready! My husband was also ready with his semen sample.
We went to the fertility centre before 8:00am. My husband had to go to his work, so I didn't have anybody with me during the picking up. " It's OK, I'm fine. " I thought.
After I said bye to my husband, I was taken to the small changing room. I had to take off all my lower body's clothes and wear a short gown like a hospital patient wears.
I took half a tablet of sleeping pills to relax. After I changed, a doctor came into this room and placed a needle into my left hand without the syringe and taped on it to hold.
Then I went to the operation room. I sat on a big sofa chair and I put my feet on the feet stands to part my legs. I had an anesthesia injection.
There were 4people in the operation room. One was a doctor to take my eggs, another two were nurses, and the last person, I don't know what one calls her, looked at a microscope each time my eggs came to her.
It wasn't painless while picking up the eggs. It was like a pierced needle pain, but not too much pain.
" you made too many eggs!! " the doctor said.
" Thank you for your hard work! " I thought.
I had 22 eggs taken, but still some eggs were left in my ovaries. It follows that I made about 30 eggs! Good job my ovaries!
I felt pain in my ovaries and anus, especially my anus.
After the operation, I was taken to a rest room on a wheelchair. It was only 3 ~ 4 meters from the operation room, but that's fine. I sat on a very comfy couch which I've never sat on before. A nurse put a really warm and nice duvet on me.
Right after the operation, I felt sick suddenly and I almost fainted. A nurse put 3 kinds of injections into my left hand very quickly and then I felt fine. I don't know what kind of injections but they were magic injections.
I rested for about half an hour on that couch.
I fell asleep a little. A nurse brought me a cup of coffee and a muffin. It was very nice. I wasn't allowed to have breakfast, so it was magnificent!
