groan

Oh, MAN. Usually I'm up and about by the evening of my retrieval, but not this time. The day began badly. The drive that usually take 45 minutes to the clinic took OVER TWO AND A HALF HOURS. I arrived 40 minutes after my scheduled retrieval time. This was very bad, and they actually started the procedure before I was even asleep. They still managed to get 15 follicles, though, so all turned out ok.

On the drive home I felt surprisingly alert. Still, I went to bed when I got here and went to sleep. When I woke up, DAMN was I sick. Going to the bathroom was excruciating just from the pressure on my ovaries. I was, and still am, nauseas, dizzy, and light headed. I literally almost passed on as I got up for a drink. I've been in bed, sleeping, and groaning for about 40 hours. I don't know what happened down there, but I feel so so bad. :(
