Hi everyone, thanks for all the good lucks and wishes.
The scientist called this am, 6 have fertilised- she said that's great! Hmmm, im like what...Anyway apparently was the same number as last time, so its just a matter of wait and see. We only need one or two, then we will be happy. 6 is good.
Just back track to yest. Things were totally diff than first time around- hey that was only in March! DH wasnt with me in Mar and he just thought this time was yukky! Ok, old hospital, i understand, but its private and pay a fortune for it all really. So last time, we (friend and I) got shown to a 4 bed room, not a lot of privacy but was ok. Had to walk into surgery- only had silly thongs on!! Well they didnt warn us. And we were wheeled back after op and rested in bed for couple hours. I was ok with that. Also had some privacy so if i was upset (just hormones!!!), it'd be ok. This time, we got taken to wrong room first, then to a day stay bit. Room with five sort of crappy recline chairs that had one chair next to them for partners. You could reach and touch the chairs next to you. First up there were only three couples, then five. And the nurse (wacko nurse), had put us in the wrong chair. So she said get up, come on and get over here. I was teary. I was so upset at the lack of privacy already. You know, if things were bad news and stuff, like not many eggs, there was no place to cry or hide or anything. Anyway so swapped chairs... The nurse did stuff that nurses do- she was loud and sorta arrogant- yelled your name out from out in the corridor. Like as if im going to answer to someone i dont know screaming my name out. NOt that im overly shy shy about my weight but we had to weigh ourselves in front of everyone, and then when she cut my arm band off she cut my finger. Went to surg and that was ok. Happy with result. Lady next to me got 4 eggs and i felt a little sad for her They pushed me in bed back to room and i had to get up and stand up and get into a chair. I had really bad cramps- like ouchies. Really sore. Have had more pain this time than last. So i had to try and draw my legs up whilst i ly in this silly chair. Hey, im sure my bum was hanging out in the theatre- afterwards anyway!! Could feel a cold breeze!! I asked for pain relief- she gave me 1 panadeine, then i had to ask for more. I hate to think if i had excruciating pain....
Later the scientist came and she took each couple away to a room, so that was at least a decent thing to do. I know things didnt go so well for one couple... im sad for them. Just the whole process was upsetting, and i dont ever want to see that hosp again. Im sorry for ranting on about this. I feel a little better about it all today. Just i dont understand. IVF is such a private thing, and i know i share my thoughts and emotions on here, but sometimes i feel like its made a mockery of. The nurse also yelled out at the start, come on everyone talk to each other. I felt so embarrassed... I want to share but not in a forced way, and the lack of privacy was horrible. Im not sure what other places are like....Ellie..any comments on Perth???? Hehehe.... But we love our FS and that's the important thing i guess.
Sorry everyone...i hope i havent bored you all.
