Since I know her Internet access is spotty, and she's tired, and I've mentioned it...

let me just say that Dwana made it through her procedure well and is at home and resting. She had a very, very rough weekend where two ovary follicles ruptured, causing her to almost pass out, excruciating pain, and vomiting, but they were able to go in and retrieve the eggs (a near record of 38!) and took steps to make her more comfortable by draining the swollen follicles. She said she was probably doing better than she has with laproscopies, but of course she's very tired. The doctor has her on bed rest for now. Her mom's with her so I'm going to just let her rest and hopefully she'll feel better soon. Right now it seems to be a matter of going back in with embryos Thursday, but that shouldn't be nearly as much trouble.

Oh, I so hope this works for them. Fertility itself isn't an issue--endometriosis is. But if she can get pregnant then the endometriosis should also subside.
