ER Day..

17 Jun 2014, Tue

It's ER day! Reached KKIVFC at around 7:20am. Pressed for the queue number and had a short briefing. Me to my ER waiting area and DH to release his troopers. Said a last prayer with DH and off we go.

Changed into my surgery gown and was told to wait at the corner. Very scary place actually. A row of 5 chairs with a curtain infront. I was the first there. Met Y, a PRC married to a local SG man. She's nervous, like really nervous. First in was an Indian lady, takes about 30 mins before being wheeled out. Next is Y followed by me. Met another 3 ladies while waiting for me turn. By the time my name's called, it's already 9:30-9:45am. Went for my last pee and went into OT.

Lie down and waited for THH. 10 minutes later, I heard his voice and the anaesthetist told me "it's time to go to sleep". Before I knew it, I was out! Woke up at 10+ (I asked the nurse for the time) as the BP machine was taking my BP. Woke up, sat up and waited. Dozing off every now and then. The SSN got me a cup of hot milo (yes, I was famished) and asked if I wanted biscuits, which I courteously decline. I'm already thinking of Beerthai! Gulp.

I saw the Indian lady discharged while I was still sitting on my bed. Followed up Y. Finally, it was my turn. It's 11+ now. Was told to change and to get back to the waiting area.

Results: 18 eggs retrieved! Wow! To report for ET on Thu at 9am and a BT is needed to make sure I didnt get OHSS. Lastly, the nurse said "your husband's already waiting for you outside. Go eat some food and all the best."

Happily I left the ER area and there was DH waiting for me. We left and hopped on a cab and headed over to Golden Mile for our favourite Thai Food. DH was happy we managed to retrieve 18 eggs too. Ordered all my fav and happily eating away.

Headed home after lunch, and napped. Everything was a-ok till at night. Starting to feel very bloated. Like seriously bloated. And it got worse after dinner and the antibiotics. Starts to wonder if it's due to the spicy food I had at lunch. PS/LS lots. Pain! Pain! Pain! Thots starts to fly in my mind. Did I get OHSS? Is it the spicy food? What's happening? Quickly watsapped the ladies warriors for update and prayer. DH prayed too. I was in so much pain. Midnight and I was having cold sweat and PAIN! I was in so much pain I started crying out to Jesus. Cant utter any other words except Jesus and speaking in tongues. Before I knew it, I fell asleep. Woke up at 1:30am to pee and realised the pain had subsided lots. Went back to bed and woke up again at 4:30am. Hmm, pain not there. Praise The Lord! And I slept till about 10am, peacefully.
