Does anyone mind if I join? I am in the middle of my first IVF cycle and it's all very overwhelming. I lost my son a couple of years ago, when he was born too early. Then, when we failed to conceive again, I was found to have very severe endometriosis. Following Laparoscopy in March when one of my tubes was removed, I pushed forward with IVF as quickly as possible (terrified of the endometriosis growing back and scuppering fertility).
I had my eggs collected on Friday and managed to get 16 mature ones. 12 of them fertilised by Saturday so I am now on tender hooks to see if they developed to Day 3.
I can't help but imagine being pregnant again and how wonderful it was but then I have to talk myself down so I don't get disappointed if it's BFN.
Now I've brought the mood down, I will try to lighten the mood. Apparently, as I came round from my sedation on Friday, I went on a bit of a loop with "did it go well?", then "was I in there long?" and then "was I rude to anyone??". Apparently I repeated all of this many many times. My husband thought it would be funny to answer the "was I in there long" question with random times like "yes, it's 3pm", "yes, it's 11pm", "yes, it's midnight". To the "was I rude to anyone" question he finally replied "oh yes, you were terribly anti-semitic". I apparently then lectured him about how bad it was to be anti-semitic and how I just couldn't understand it. Finally, they brought me some biscuits and I apparently told my husband the biscuits were ridiculous flavours and they needed to sort it out. I remember none of this....
