Egg Retrieval 7-28-10

I went in starving for my egg retrieval. There was some waiting, but once I went back and changed into my surgery garb, the procedure didn't take too long. I went from my gurney to the surgery table and then the next thing I knew I was waking up back on the gurney in the recovery room. I had some cramping at first, but after resting there for awhile, it was much less than before. I got wheeled out to the car, and then Brett and I picked up some soups and a sandwich from the Tea Room on our way home. We ate and got our first pay per view movie for the day, Up in the Air. Next, both Brett and I passed out and slept a few hours. When I woke up, I felt terrible and figured it was more cramping from the surgery. I got up to go to the restroom, sat down, and then the next thing I knew, I woke up on the floor with my pants at my ankles. I called for Brett and was really freaked out. The rest of the day I got worse, and I started to think that I got OHSS (over hyperstimulation syndrome) after I started to google my symptoms. After two more pay per views, (Hot Tub Time Machine and Men Who Stare at Goats) I went to bed with my heating pad and waited for the morning so that I could call the doctor's office. Luckily, the next morning I felt slightly better, and my nurse told me that if I felt better at all, then I did not have OHSS. I stayed home for another day of rest.
