UPDATED - transfer is complete!!
Hi everyone,
I'm back from the RE. It wasn't really that bad. The worst part was getting the IV.
I only remember going into the room and them telling me I would probably feel the speculum and some pressure before I was out, and then I was out!
I woke up later to see DH standing next to me.
And the best news...they got 14 eggs!! So now we just have to pray that they are good quality and they get fertilized!! 
Thanks for all the good wishes!! 
UPDATE #2:
They just called to let us know they did ICSI on 12 of the 14 and 11 fertilized.
So we're pretty excited that we have 11 chances for success!! 
Now we wait for the call on Monday to see when they are going to do the transfer.
Thank you everyone for the continued well wishes!!
UPDATE #3:
Just got the call from RMA that they are going to wait until Wednesday to do the transfer.
Good news, because generaly they only do that with high quality embryos. But it does mean two more days of anxiously waiting!!
UPDATE #4:
Transfer is complete! They put two "very good looking" (doctor's words, not mine  ) blastocysts back in. They felt that 3 was really risking multiples, so 2's enough.
It was really cool, I got to watch the whole transfer on the TV - from the tube to my uterus! We got pics of the embryos and a pic of where they were put back.
And we still have 7 other embies going strong. They will let us know in one week how many have made it and how many we can freeze.
Now I get to lounge for a few days! I'll take any sticky vibes you can throw me!!
Love you girls!!

Ask away!!
They did the IV about 20 minutes before the actual procedure. With some kind of fluid she said was "Like gatorade."
The anesthesiologist came to talk to me and explain what was going to happen.
Then they had me get up and walk into the procedure room, lay down and they put a mask over me for Oxygen -- I won't lie, that freaked me out a little bit, but I spent the whole day making sure I was taking slow steady deep breaths, so I just kept doing that.
Then he told me he was going to give me some medicine that would make me a little light headed, which it did almost instantly.
The last thing I really remember is me saying "Light headed is a good thing, right?"
DH said I woke up about 15 minutes after the procedure. I was honestly shocked to see him. I made him pinch my leg to make sure I wasn't dreaming and still in surgery.
It took about 2 minutes for me to feel awake. Still a little groggy, but back to my normal self and joking around with the staff. By the time we left, about 20 minutes after I woke up, I felt just a little dizzy, but mostly normal.
I was terrified of being put under, but now that it's done I realize that it wasn't a big deal at all. In fact, like some of the girls said, I felt more rested than I have in weeks.
Now, I will say that the doctor mentioned to DH that they kept me under "a little longer" than some of the other girls. There were 4 of us in the recovery room and two of the girls came out of the procedure already talking and walking, whereas I slept for anoth 15 minutes.
I think since I had so many follies they had to keep me out a little longer.
I know you're going to be freaked until they are done with it, just like I was, but I swear it was the easiest part of this process so far!!
