I'm back from the retrieval
 I'm back and I'm laying on the couch taking it easy while my DH has the kids 
Everything went perfect. I've never had anesthesia before so that had to be the craziest thing ever... one second the nurse is telling me think of a happy place and putting a warm blanket on me and the next minute I'm in the recovery room 
The Dr got 19 eggs  He said he was very happy with that. I have to say that all the nurses and the Dr's have been so sweet through this whole process!! I was only a tiny bit sore afterwards like period cramps, but now I'm just taking it easy so that I don't have any issues with OHSS.
The IM left a bag with a very sweet card and a small gift for me and the Nurse gave it to me when I got there... totally was not expecting that and I totally started crying when I read the card.  It was so sweet of her to do that and then read the posts from all of you when I got home. Thank you all! 
The Dr has already questioned if I willing to do this again, apparently there is a short supply of egg donors  I may do it again, depending on how my body reacts in the next few days.. all in all the process was not that bad considering the end result is helping someone with their family

Re: I'm back from the retrieval
I am so glad it went well. Your selfless act is amazing! I had 20 eggs at retrieval and I had mild OHSS but the best remedy is rest and fluids. I felt significantly better within a few days.

I am tearing up because I think what you did is so amazing.
I teared up too. Thank you for doing this. This is truly a selfless act.
I would like to think I can do the same after I get my BFPs and am past my IF.
