egg collection

Can't believe how long its been since I updated this, I wanted to get up to date so that I could just do a daily update but its not happening.
I had got to the point of our first egg collection.
We had to be at the clinic for 8.30am and I wasn't allowed to eat anything and only have a few sips of water prior to going. I couldn't wear make up or wash with any soaps or wear perfume. I felt stinking!! Before we left I had to put a cyclogest porgesterone pessary up my bum, which was not great!
When we arrived we were shown to a bed with a curtain round and I was asked to change into a gown and then put 2 more suppositories up my bum, one antibiotic and one pain killer.
I then got taken over to the theatre and hubby got to go off and produce his sample. Why is the man's bit so easy and enjoyable?
So whilst he was doing his bit I was lay in theatre legs wide open waiting to be sedated. They gave me oxygen as well and I can remember drifting in and out of consciousness. It was more painful than I thought it would be and lookign back I felt more out of it afterwards then I did when I was in theatre.
I think I was there about 20mins and they wheeeld me back to the bed where I passed out for about half hour. The good news was they'd collected 16 egss which we were chuffed with. Once I felt ok we were free to go. I came home and rested for the day then as I was uncomfortable. We then had to wait for the dreaded phone call the next morning to say whether any had fertilised.
