OVUM PICK UP OPERATION

27th May 2010

Went for my ovum pick up operation yesterday. We reached KK hospital about 820am. After registration, the stuff nurse explained all the procedures to us and passed a sterile bottle to dear for his collection of seamens. I was told to change into the operation gown and lead me to the OT waiting area before it was my turn to have the ops. Quite anxious and scared but luckily there were a few ladies doing for the ops so we chatted and comfort each other. One lady told me that this was the third time she has been trying as the previous two all failed. Hmm... well it depends on luck and how the body reacted individualy. Waited about two hours before it was my turn. Before i was ask to the OT, i was given a sedation needle through my veins in order for the anesthetist to inj the sedation drug into me. I was lead to the OT and lied down on the special couch and open my legs so wide. The nurses all talked to me for a while and before i could say anything, the sedation had been inj n soon i was fall into sleep. But i could feel the thin needle being insert through the vaginal and moving sensation but there wasnt any pain. The procedure took about half an hour and i was pushed to the resting ward for the nurses to monitor my glucose and blood pressure level. There was bleeding after the ops and they told me after one or two days it will stop. I started to feel slight pain and bloated on my tummy which was common. After the long hours of waiting and ops, finaly i can discharge at about 130pm. We were super delighted that the nurse told me that 12 eggs were taken out. They will send the eggs and the sperms to the lab for fertilisation before placing the two of the best embroyes back to my womb on this sat. If there is excess of good embroyes, they will just freeze it for our future use if we want kids again. Thank god!!!
We went back to my mum's place to rest as she boiled tonic soups for us. At night the pain n bloating still occured even till now it was still there. Hopefully by sat it will stop as i will be having the final ops to put in the well match embroye. And that will be the most critical period for about 17 days before pregnancy occurs. Pray hard and i will need to have more rest after that.
