ER - ivf#5

ER went well today.  You know when you have had too many ER's when the nurse know you by name (without looking at the sheet) and commenting on your new hair cut.  Only good thing was I felt like I was getting star treatment and she even told another nurse off who came by to do my iv.
Also my RE was doing the ER today so that was good. 

We arrived there at 8:15 and I went in at around 10:05.  I thought we were the last slot for the day, but there were still many women after me.  I feel bad for them because it was bad enough having no food or drink for 10 hours, can't imagine waiting 11 or more hours.

Surprisely I was pretty relaxed during the 2 hour wait.  In contrast to last time where I was a basket of nerves.  I didn't have over confidence though that I had for ivf #3 (I don't think I can ever feel like that again).  I guess this time I figured there is nothing I can do at this point and they will get however many they do and that is that.  I think this worked because I got the shock of my life when I work up.

I hate how they tell you the count right at the moment you are openning your eyes, so you are still in that half dazed, what happened phase.  Today's count was 13.  That's right 13.  I thought for a minute am I hearing her right.  This is more than I have ever gotten at ER, even when I did my first ivf at age 30.  IVF # from 1-4 were 9, 6, 4, and 5 so you see how off 13 is.  Of course I am not complaining.  My RE came over afterwards very pleased that we got so many.  Of course I don't know how many of them are mature, but it is so much better working with a larger number and for someone who has DOR with high FSH, 13 is an awesome number.

Before I went in they had tentatively scheduled ET for Friday, with a second day of Saturday.  I forgot that I agreed with a 2-3 day transfer with the RE when I went for the wtf appt 7 weeks ago.  So I have no idea when ET will be.  With 13 eggs I can't imagine us going there for a 2dt.  I really hope we don't since dd has a dentist appt for 9:30 that morning and I don't want to change it for the very low chance that we would have ET.  If things continue to go well, we may actually get to do a 5dt on Monday (who would have thought that would ever happen).
