Egg Retrieval
Went well today. We got 8 eggs. Of course I was hoping for more, but am very happy. Feeling sore and very bloated. Progesterone shots start tomorrow...any tips?
More tomorrow when I am on a real computer and not the iPad.
Glad it went well! I warmed my butt with a heatig pad for about five minutes, and warmed the vial of pio in my bra for the same time. Hubby massaged the injection site for about a minute after. I pretty much avoided getting any knots and it wasn't bad at all (until I got an itchy allergic reaction after a few weeks!) good luck!!
8 eggs! Nice work :-). Here's hoping you get a great fertilisation number tomorrow too. I don't have any advice on the progesterone injections because I've only used Crinone (progesterone gel inserted vaginally). Get lots of rest!
Great news! I always iced the site before injecting, had DH inject slowly, rub it for at least a minute afterwards, and then heat later in the day/evening. I didn't find the pio shots to bee that bad. Good luck!
Yay for 8 awesome eggs!!!! Sending great fertilization thoughts!!

ReplyDelete8 is a fantastic number!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHeating pads are key with PIO injections. Warming the oil helps too (warming it in one's bra is a clever idea, too). Good luck!!
Yeah for eight my favorite number

ReplyDeleteI think massage after is the most important part to really get it to adsorb into the muscle. Congrats on 8 eggs!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news!!!!!! Take care of yourself.
