Today went very well, the doctor retrieved 17 eggs which was surprising to me – I was praying for just 8 to 10 eggs so I was pleasantly surprised.  The actual procedure only took about 20 minutes.  The team of doctors and nurses were all great and overall I feel pretty good.  I’m tired and a little sore with mild cramping, but overall I feel good 🙂  Brian was successful in what he likes to call the “Spank Tank”.  When he left with the nurse to go to the Collection Room, I hear him say “How’s the ambience today?  Dim lights, soft music?”  Seriously, he cracks me up and the nurse by my side was hysterically laughing.  He did get a little worried when he was checking out the video selection in the “Spank Tank” – the first one being Black Booty 47 and the second one being Spanish Ass.  LMFAO.  He finally found a video that was to his liking and somewhat bearable to watch 🙂  After I was released from the recovery room, we went back down to the fertility center so one of the nurses could show Brian where to inject the Progesterone on my butt.  I have two circles sharpied on my ass, X marks the spot.  The Progesterone injections begin tomorrow morning.  Since Brian will be doing these injections for the next two weeks he didn’t want to take any chances of messing it up so he made sure the nurse clearly marked the spots.  I guarantee you won’t see a sharpied bottom like mine in Booty 47 or Spanish Ass!!!!  Tomorrow we find out how many embryos we have and whether we go back Thursday or Sunday for the transfer.  Keeping my fingers crossed and continuing to pray to all my angels above.
