Egg Donation: Stimulation & Retrieval! (Part Two)

追加: 2026-05-20

[00:00:00]Okay, it is day 4 in the morning. I have just got up. I didn't sleep amazingly last night. I Yeah, I just still feel like a little bit off.

[00:00:11]Nothing's changed in terms of anything really other than that. I'm just like more injections.

[00:00:18]Going to put my big girl pants on and I'm going to go and do double the dose of gonol. Nope. Metapore. Metapore in the morning. Mm.

[00:00:27]Just on a super slow walk for an hour whilst reading my book. I'm so close to finishing it. It is really good so far.

[00:00:36]Highly recommend. It is lunchtime. I have my electrolyte citrus today. Salty citrus. This is my little lunch snack plate.

[00:00:51]I'm so over protein. I just want I just want some carbs.

[00:00:56]girl lunch.

[00:00:58]Okay, this is a bloat update. I'm feeling pretty fluidy.

[00:01:04]Um, my skin is quite taut and I'm just like, yeah, just feeling very full.

[00:01:14]I do have a very lipo bumpy belly, but whatever. It is 4:30 on day four of my protocol.

[00:01:24]I know it doesn't look bad, but again, like I've had I have no fat in my stomach um since getting lipo, but I don't know if you can tell, but like this for for my stomach is a lot. Just a lot of fluid in there. It is day four, evening injection time, and I don't want to. The first two days were fine, but now I'm getting real sick of it. I'm getting real sick of these injections. I am just going to ice myself for a minute or so. Um because I'm noticing with the stronger doses obviously there's greater volume and so stings a bit more because there's more drug going in.

[00:02:20]Wait, am I on the right side today on the left side?

[00:02:23]Can't remember.

[00:02:26]Okay, I'm feeling quite bloated and just like a general sense of lethagy and like under the weatherness. I'm not like in pain or anything. I was wondering earlier if I um had a bit of a fever, but I don't. I don't think just feel like a bit like just a bit off. And it's probably because I have a million times the estrogen in my body right now. I was reading some textbooks today on ovarian stimulation and apparently menopause symptoms are common in ovarian stimulation. So, time to do 300. Goal F. 300.

[00:03:14]Tada.

[00:03:16]Okay.

[00:03:18]Oh, I got a bit of a blood spot that time. I was on such a good streak. Oh my gosh, look at that. Look at that little lump there.

[00:03:25]RIP. I'm not going to wipe with an alco wipe cuz that'll sting.

[00:03:30]Okay, see you later.

[00:03:38]So, I just had all those vials taken. I was not expecting um they said they're doing another full FDA panel, which I had 3 weeks ago when I first came in, but they want to do another one. And I also have to do a urine sample, which I wasn't told about, so I don't need to go, but I'm going to try.

[00:03:57]I was able to get a urine sample cuz I'm a girl who always has to pee. So now we are doing internal ultrasound, see how many follicles I have. 2 days ago I had seven and we have literally doubled my hormones. So hopefully we've got a whole lot more. So I'm just walking about half an hour to a shopping district called Legacy Way as a little treat. Okay, day five evening. Just did my gonal F. They haven't changed my doses yet. Um for now they said they're fine.

[00:04:30]And I just did my first injection of cetride and oh my god it's like so itchy and they said that some like irritation around the injection site afterwards is normal but it's a really weird feeling.

[00:04:41]It's like a big lump even though it was only like 0.25 of a mill was nothing but I'm trying not to think about it but it's not comfortable. I'm still waiting to hear what my follicle count was from this morning but I will keep you posted.

[00:04:55]Just did my morning menopause and it's stanging.

[00:05:01]So, it is Friday. We are This is the start of the sixth day of my stimulation. Ow. And it's bleeding. I don't know what I did differently that time. Let's just be a placement. Last night and this morning, I've got like a headache that and I'm not a headache kind of girl. Like I'm usually like a tummy kind of girl, but I've got these headaches. And I woke up in the night having to pee. And I think maybe it was because of the size of my bladder, but um I was feeling so crampy around like my ovaries and stuff. Like it just felt like not good. But since I peed, it's it like chilled out a little bit. But yeah, this headache is a bit annoying. I still don't have my follicle information from yesterday. So I'm going to follow that up and then I'll next be in tomorrow.

[00:05:48]Okay, it's day six. These patchology masks are sliding down my face.

[00:05:55]I just had a full body shower and I'm feeling exceptional. I was really struggling the first probably 2 or 3 days with the lack of sugar. I think I was definitely addicted to sugar. So, I was just craving I was thinking about chocolate all the time, thinking about Diet Coke all the time. But then from like day four, I just completely stopped craving it. So, now I feel like I don't I could take or leave it. So, I'm not like craving it, which is great cuz I'm not thinking about it. And also, I actually like feel aside from like the bloating and the headaches, like I actually feel quite healthy.

[00:06:25]So, when I was like doing all of my experiments for what makes good masks and like like testing all of the masks like Sephora and Mcca that I could get my hands on, I still have like all these ones left over, hence why I'm using them and not my own. And they're really just pissing me off. Does this piss anyone else? Like it's just as I'm talking it's just sliding down my face. There's no grip to it. Anyway, so my follicle results from yesterday are up.

[00:06:49]Keep in mind on Tuesday we had seven follicles.

[00:06:54]And we are hoping as of yesterday morning, so like over 24 hours ago now, that I have more.

[00:07:02]1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Yay. That's great.

[00:07:08]The largest one is 13 mm in diameter and the smallest one is 6 oh no sorry 5.3.

[00:07:14]So that's good. The increase in my dose prompted a couple more to start growing.

[00:07:20]Hopefully they will catch up. So pretty happy with that. This is my uh classic lunch snack plate.

[00:07:28]Girl on extra minute dinner lunch and my electrolytes. This looks such a funny. Look at how it's like not clear.

[00:07:40]It is a little bit opaque, but it looks very funny. But it's actually really quite delicious. Except it's very salty.

[00:07:44]It's like It reminds me of a margarita.

[00:07:46]It's like this salty, sour, sweet like mix of a margarita.

[00:07:55]Like this with some tequila, I'm not even going to lie to you, would be fire.

[00:08:02]So, it's Friday afternoon. It's about 2:00 p.m. I'm just going to catch up on some uni stuff and read my book. I've just started. What is it called? Um, it's on my phone, so I don't want to have to like stop recording, go out, and then have to go back into it. It's like a Linda de Plant.

[00:08:25]Is that her name?

[00:08:28]Yes.

[00:08:31]But which book is it?

[00:08:35]The Scene of the Crime. So, it's one of her new ones and it's on my library app.

[00:08:39]So, I try to read as many books as I can on my Brisbane City Council library app because they're free. I read up like over 100 books a year. Like, I'm going to take the free ones that I can get because if I'm spending $30 on every single book, I don't even want to do the maths on that. So, and there are some good ones. If you are in Brisbane or Queensland or I think I think it's Australiawide, just go to your local like city council library and they'll give you a library card and then you can get this app. It's on Borrow Box and you just like put in your ID information and you have access to like literally thousands of audio books and ebooks and it's such a hack. I did not know this existed until probably like maybe 2 years ago I want to say and a lot of the Patricia Cornwells are on there. There's like Tom Clancy's. There's a lot of Kristen Hannah's on there. So, like definitely check it out because it's it's going to save you a lot of money. I also have to edit a couple of podcasts and I am going to film tomorrow a March favorites. So, stay tuned for that.

[00:09:40]Actually, I think the March favorites would go up before Yeah, it's going to Sorry. Go and watch that if you haven't already. It is Saturday, day six or seven. Day seven, I think. And I have just done my morning injection of menopore. And oh my god, I swear it hurts more every single day. No blood, no bruising still, which was great. But my gosh, it stings so bad.

[00:10:03]Got to get a coffee and got to head into the clinic for my checkups.

[00:10:07]Blood's done.

[00:10:10]Ultrasound time.

[00:10:16]Update. Yes, I'm crying. Nothing is wrong. I'm just watching Tik Toks. There was a really sad one and I'm just like feeling like super emotional. I assume it's the hormones. I don't really know um what else it could be. But I'm fine, but I'm just like feeling kind of sad. I just want to go home.

[00:10:38]Um I'm just feeling like a bit sooky right now. I've been fine. It's literally just like these last like 10 minutes that I've just had a little bit of a a sad moment. Um, so today, Sunday night. I've just done my night injections. They seem to be bleeding every time now. I was on like such a good streak for like 3 or 4 days where I didn't get any bleeding.

[00:11:00]And now my body's just like absolutely had enough of just like the needles.

[00:11:06]Um, swelling, no, not really. Sleeping fine. No real updates.

[00:11:13]The I just I really just want to exercise. like I just want to move my body. Um I'm feeling very sluggish.

[00:11:22]I went in for my check-in yesterday, my 7-day, and the nurse practitioner did my ultrasound, and she was like, "Yep, we'll have someone call you in like this afternoon and tell you what um doses and drugs to do." Uh and I was never called, which is super annoying. So, I sent an email to like my nurse point of contact, like the third nurse that I have been in contact with, and she didn't reply probably because it was a Saturday. I don't know um if she was on shift, but I feel like there should be like an after hours person in charge of like people going through active cycles. Anyway, so I just because she explicitly told me that I would get called with instructions and I didn't get that. I was like, "Okay, I need to follow up."

[00:12:04]So, I called the after hours clinic and the woman respectfully just had absolutely no idea. I tried to explain to her that um I was supposed to get a call and she was like, "Okay, cool. I'll get the doctor to call you." And um I gave her my number and she was like, "The number's wrong. It needs to have one less digit." And I tried to explain to her that it's an Australian number and I don't have a US number because I'm not American. I'm visiting from a different country. And she was like, "Well, he's not going to be able to call you." I was like, Are you telling me that I'm the first overseas patient this very established biggest clinic in Texas has ever had?

[00:12:42]Doubt it. Also, you can text me. You can send me an iMessage. You can send me an email. You can call the front desk at my hotel. Like, be a problem solver. I was just like, "Okay, so like what are you?"

[00:12:52]She was like, "Okay, I'll just I'll put you on to like my supervisor. Um, I'm going to transfer you now." And I waited and I waited and I waited and I finally gave up after half an hour of waiting. I was like, "Whatever. I'm just going to continue on the dose and hope that I wasn't supposed to change it. And my nurse just forgot to tell me. So like when the parents are paying, you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars for this to happen total.

[00:13:22]You would expect some kind of um communication availability. Like I understand it's the weekend, but like what if something was wrong? What if I was bleeding? What if I had a fever? What if I had a what if something was genuinely wrong? Like yes, obviously I would have to call 911 and get an ambulance, but you need to be able to contact your provider of which actually the doctor whose name is on all of my medications and things, I've never met, not one time.

[00:13:52]And every time I go in to get my OBS, like my blood test and my internal ultrasounds, there it's always a different person. like I don't know it's it's not meeting my expectations personally and I would advise prospective parents against going to this clinic because I just feel like it's maybe it's cuz I'm a donor. They don't they're not making an effort like I'm not paying them directly but I just no it's it's a bit off for me. So I'm going in tomorrow morning and we are scheduled to do the retrieval on Thursday. In an ideal world we do it on Wednesday so I can leave sooner. Just kidding. I have my flights booked for Friday night, so I'm pretty much definitely leaving on Friday night. Unless, of course, they can't do the retrieval on Thursday and it gets pushed back and then I would have to change my flights and shift things back. But we don't want to speak that into existence. We want to we want this done and dusted.

[00:14:43]I have the new medication ready to go for when it is time. I think it's like 36 hours prior to the retrieval. You have to like take a whole different routine of medication. But I'll let you know. That's all I've got for you.

[00:15:02]It is Monday, day nine of my stimulation cycle. Just my bloods and the scan. See how many follicles we have. It's the end of day nine of my injections and hopefully the last day.

[00:15:16]I'm meeting with the doctor in the morning and it'll actually be the first time that I have met him. So hopefully he can tell me that I'm good to trigger tomorrow and 36 hours later. So, Thursday we will be good to do the actual procedure and I can go home. I am not feeling bad. Like I'm not in pain, but I don't feel good. I feel really full and heavy, bloated, so lethargic.

[00:15:44]But I do feel better than what I thought. I was expecting to like be in a good amount of discomfort, but there's no pain or anything. It's just I feel my ovaries being massive and my follicles are over 20 mm in diameter. So that's 2 cm and I have like over 12 of them.

[00:16:06]My ovaries are like this big. So I'll give you an update when I have one tomorrow. It is day 10. Today should be the last day of my stimulation, but I don't think it's going to be. I went in this morning and I actually saw the doctor for the first time. He was wearing an aubra with his scrubs, which I just found so hilarious and so taxing. And he said that my estradiol, so E2, which is a type of estrogen that they're interested in, uh, should be a lot higher around this stage. It should be like 2 to 3,000. And mine's only 800, which is really weird because my AMH, which is the blood test that you get ages ago, that's a good indicator of like how you'll respond.

[00:16:54]It's not definitive, but it's like a pretty good pretty good estimate, is really high. My AMH is like 3.6.

[00:17:01]So, we were expecting it to be higher and like take sooner. Um, even though I've been on like the highest dose for pretty much a week now, but I do have a whole bunch of follicles and the follicles look good and they're a good size. But there are a lot of smaller follicles as well because I've had to like catch up because we didn't start the highest dose until like a couple of days into the stimulation. Not from the very beginning cuz that would be really aggressive. Um, I'm really not happy with this clinic. Okay, I go into the clinic every second day or in this case these last two days I've gone in each day and every single time I have a blood test, I have an ultrasound and then depending on what that looks like, they're going to change my routine, change my drugs, you know, that sort of thing. And every single time they say, "We're going to call you this afternoon and tell you what to do from tonight onwards." And they first said that last Thursday. Never got a call. I had to call up Chase followup and I actually had to start new drugs that day and I didn't have any because they didn't give me any and so they had to arrange for a pharmacy to come and deliver me the drugs and I was like why did this happen? Anyway, then on Saturday, same thing happened. They said we're going to call you depending on these drugs to tell you what to do. 5:00 p.m. came around. I'm like I contacted them by email and I was like haven't got anything. Don't know what I'm supposed to inject myself with with tonight. Can you please advise? never got a response I think because it was a Saturday. So I called the after hours clinic, they didn't answer and I'm just like what the [ __ ] Like is this their first day? I I don't know how it's so like I just keep slipping through the cracks. So I just assumed that no changes needed needed to be made and then I just continued on what drug doses I was doing the day before.

[00:18:50]And then same thing on Sunday. Couldn't get a couldn't get a hold of anyone so I just continued. I actually had to start the Zpack, which is the prophylactic antibiotics on Sunday, but I didn't know that because I wasn't told that and I couldn't get a hold of them and they didn't contact me. So then Monday morning finally rolls around and I actually have to go into the clinic. So it's pointless for me to call when they're open because I'm going to be there. And so I sort of say like, "Hello, what's going on?" They do my test and everything. They say, "Um, no changes to your drugs. Hopefully we'll trigger tomorrow. Come back in tomorrow." And tomorrow is today. Same thing happened today. I went in for my labs. Doctor said, "Estro is a bit low.

[00:19:29]Follicles look okay. We're going to wait until we get the labs to decide if we're going to trigger tonight or trigger tomorrow." Trigger refers to a different kind of medication that allows the ball to get things rolling. 36 hours later, we'll actually do the procedure.

[00:19:44]He said specifically, "We will call you this afternoon, tell you what to do from tonight." It's 400 p.m. I emailed because the results usually, well, when they are posted, they're posted on the portal at like 11:00 a.m. No results have been posted, no labs, no ultrasound, and I haven't been told what to do. So, I've sent an email, but it's like 4:00 now. I assume they close at 5.

[00:20:13]Like, this is it's like beyond frustrating. Like there's there's a couple of things that really get my goat and one of them is just people not doing their job. Especially when this is something so high stakes. Again, these intended parents have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for, you know, this process, me to get my eggs, the the agency, the clinic, all of this to happen. And it's so many moving parts. And it's like I would totally understand if they said, "Oh yeah, we'll call you this afternoon." And they forgot one time. But this is literally the the fourth time that I've not been able to get a hold of someone who specifically said that they would contact me.

[00:20:48]It's very frustrating and I'm concerned that I won't trigger tonight because the doctor wants to wait another day because my estrogen is a little bit lower than what they want. Meaning the retrieval I just had a little burp. The retrieval won't be on Thursday. It'll be on Friday. meaning I can't go home when my when my flight is scheduled on Friday night and then I have to change my flight to Saturday, meaning I get home a day later and I'm just like I want to go home. So that's my rant for now. I am not feeling too bad. I felt a little bit mid last night to be honest. I don't know if it was cuz I just ate a little bit too much that my stomach is already so full. My gargantuan ovaries are just like nothing else in here, please. I'm just rotting. I've just been doing work, been doing uni, been reading a whole bunch. I'm having some leftover curry right now and going to catch up on a lecture and uploaded a YouTube video. It's actually been really productive, but oh gosh, I'm so over it. I'm feeling very complainy.

[00:21:48]I'm over it. I want to go home. I'm sick of not working out. I feel a little bit depressed.

[00:21:54]Yeah, hopefully they get back to me today. I have a runny nose, actually.

[00:21:57]Hopefully they get back to me today. and we can know what's going on.

[00:22:03]Day 11. I just got back to my hotel and I'm sitting outside on the curb because I feel like I'm going to be sick. I feel so nauseous.

[00:22:12]I don't know if it's car sickness. I don't usually struggle with that. I haven't had breakfast.

[00:22:19]Um so maybe that's it. Like I had a blood test and my hands tingling.

[00:22:27]Hopefully it'll pass.

[00:22:30]Okay, so I've just heard back from my representative and I have to go back into the clinic today even though I just got home like a couple hours ago from the clinic. This is the second time as well. I'm all I feel like all I'm doing is winging about this clinic, but I just feel like everything is just so not streamlined.

[00:22:48]There's no organization. Like nothing is effective. So last Thursday they were like, "Oh yeah, you need to um have these drugs. Come in and get them." And I'm like, I was literally just there this morning, like an hour ago. I actually just got out of the Uber with traffic. It's 40 minutes each way to get to my hotel.

[00:23:06]Why the [ __ ] couldn't you give me the meds this morning?

[00:23:09]So I um I was and so I said that and they were like, "Okay, we can get a pharmacy to deliver them to you." So I was like, "Okay, perfect." So I didn't actually have to go back out that day because going in every single day is just not enough clearly. And same thing just happened. She said, "Um, you need to come and get this drug from the front desk." And I was like, "Babe, I was just there. I was just there. I I was there this morning. I was there yesterday. I was there the day before. I'm I'm here every single day." And we knew that I was going to trigger today pretty much.

[00:23:38]Um or even if I wasn't, if I was treating trauma, you can still give me the drug. You can still give me the drug for when I will trigger inevitably.

[00:23:44]Don't make me come back in on the same day. I've already been in.

[00:23:49]So I said that. I was like, "Is it possible to have the pharmacy deliver it to me?" cuz again it's an hour round trip and I just got back. I don't have a car. Okay, I have to get a taxi.

[00:24:01]She's like, "No, you have to come get it."

[00:24:05]Such a first world problem. I'm probably being a brat, but I'm just like, "Hello."

[00:24:12]So, that's really [ __ ] annoying, but I'm going to go now cuz it's going to start getting peak hours soon. I am so bloated. my lower abs, like not even abs, just like kind of groin, pubic area is just so swollen.

[00:24:29]But at least we're triggering. So that means that my surgery will be Friday. Today's Wednesday, and then I can go home on Saturday.

[00:24:43]Okay, I'm back from picking up the drug.

[00:24:44]It's night time. Just been rotting. Uh, today I taught myself how to play poker and I'm actually really enjoying it. I think I'm really good at it. Might be beginner's luck, but I turned $1,000 into $37,000. Obviously fake money. I'm just playing for the love of the game. I have just done my night gonal f injection, which I have to still do today. And then at they said exactly 9:00 p.m. Exactly. I have to inject two drugs. I don't know how I'm going to do that at the same time.

[00:25:17]They'll have to settle for a 901 perhaps with the second one. Um, and these are going to start my actual trigger, which is so exciting because get me the hell out of here. It is trigger time. We have our Coro Gonatrophen Alpha and our Lup Lupral Lupra Lupra Lupralide.

[00:25:40]Let's go. It is the night before rich people. The day is finally here. I'm so excited. I'm just having some dinner.

[00:25:48]This is the Amy's vegan pai and it's like the only safe readymade meal I've come across in the US because don't even get me started on that fake chicken business. Watching some suits. I've started packing.

[00:26:03]I am nil by mouth from midnight. So, I'll be fasted. No aspirating here. Have to be at the clinic at 8:00 a.m. for a 9:00 a.m. start. had my trigger shots last night and this morning. Went in for a final blood test this morning, which confirmed my levels were good to go. I'm thinking based on yesterday's ultrasound that I've got about 12 follicles.

[00:26:31]And it's funny, I actually learned today that um they measure your hCG, which is a hormone that's usually known as the pregnancy hormone, and it's what's in pregnancy tests. And because of the trigger shots getting me ready for my eggs to be retrieved, my hCG is very high. And that means I looked up the the ranges. And if I were to take a pregnancy test right now, it would say pregnant. Not because I am pregnant, but because I'm just chalk full of hcg. So that's fun fact for you.

[00:27:06]I am feeling good. I'm not too nervous.

[00:27:10]I probably will be when I get there. I have a nurse like chaperoning me home because I'm not allowed to like be discharged to just an Uber and I'm alone in this country. So, they had to basically like hire a nurse to take me home. And yeah, I have some over the counter pain meds ready to go. I have like a wheat bag, beanie bag thing. And yeah, I'm probably just going to recover for the rest of the day.

[00:27:38]Hopefully no infection, no pain, no ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome.

[00:27:43]Everything's going to go swimmingly.

[00:27:44]We're manifesting that into existence. I am just going to finish eating my dinner and watch some suits and go to bed. I'll check in with you tomorrow. Remember how earlier today I said that I felt completely fine and I had no side effects? Um, that has since changed. I have been to the bathroom about maybe eight times since then. Not one solid bowel movement.

[00:28:13]Sorry. So, TMI, but I assume it's the trigger. Drugs. I had a little look into the literature and it's like the hormone surge quickens your digestion, but like I don't feel unwell. It's just it's running through me. Okay. I feel like I've just had a what is it called when you have like a like an enema? Like a I feel like there's nothing inside me.

[00:28:36]I feel so skinny. She was a fairy.

[00:28:41]So, I don't know how tonight's gonna go.

[00:28:44]Hopefully, I've just got everything out of me. But, um that was unexpected to say the least.

[00:28:50]So, yeah. Uh it's currently 9:40. I have to wake up at about uh I think like 7.

[00:28:58]So, yeah.

[00:29:02]See you on the other side.

[00:29:05]It is egg morning. I'm so excited. I'm so excited for this to be over. I think I'm a little bit nervous. I didn't sleep that well last night and it's like really early for me. I'm just wearing like super casual. I'm wearing like little satin pajama pants and Burks.

[00:29:20]Don't even care. I'm like getting in an Uber. I'm like shameless. It's actually really strange to wake up and then leave the house with no deodorant, no lip balm, no skin care, no sunscreen. I literally can't have anything. Uh, and I'm so thirsty as well. So, um, it's just like a weird thing to leave the house and like not feel ready at all.

[00:29:40]But yeah, in terms of how I'm feeling with my abdomen, ovaries area, it's probably the most uncomfortable that it's been so far, just in that it's like very full feeling, like a continuous sort of cramp. Um, it's not painful, but I'm very aware of it.

[00:30:01]just met with the doctor. Um he was very nice um very reassuring. Pretty much just said um exactly what the nurse said and what I was already aware of like what to avoid afterwards and you know take paracetimol pain relief and yeah just you know don't don't do anything strenuous. So just met with the anesthetist or in America they are anesthesiologists which is funny because an anesthesiologist in Australia is not a doctor. An anthetist is the doctor. And then it's like the opposite. Anyway, um he was really lovely.

[00:30:40]Um you know, just really explained everything to me. Said, you know, we're going to use propall. We're going to also give you something to calm your nerves. I assume Medavlam. And it's not a super deep sedation, so I won't be intubated. I'm pretty much just going to be asleep for like 30 minutes and then wake up naturally.

[00:30:59]I did it. Feeling a little high still.

[00:31:02]Got some orange juice. I've got some goldfish, which are like these like cheese cracker kind of things. They're pretty good.

[00:31:10]I have some cramping, probably like a three or a four out of 10. So, just taking some paracetamol with codine.

[00:31:20]Hopefully that um you know reduces the pain a little bit. But other than that, I feel good. I feel high. I'm just waiting to hear the egg cat. Back at the hotel now and I'm feeling good. I'm feeling a little bit high still, a little bit tired. I'm definitely still under the effects of the mazzylam, the codin, the fentinyl, but you know, I feel pretty with it. Not in any pain.

[00:31:47]And yeah, just going to rot a little while, read my book, definitely get a nap. I'm feeling quite tired. Got a little heat pack on. No bleeding, nothing. Not feeling too crazy. I am focusing on hydration today. So, I'm going to try to drink about 2 liters of water and also electrolytes and just sort of small frequent plain basic meals. I've got like crackers. I have um like just some pasta, like plain pasta. And what else do I have?

[00:32:22]Got some eggs. have like protein shakes, that sort of thing. So, I don't really have an appetite right now. I'm just going to get some rest. I had 12 eggs retrieved, which I'm so stoked about.

[00:32:34]It's about 7:00 p.m. the night of my egg retrieval. Had a big sleep. Feeling okay. I wouldn't say no pain, like discomfort is probably the word I would use. I don't think I can have Oh, actually, I'm probably about due for some panadol. So, that's good to know. I just ordered some Chipotle. And yes, I'm eating my bed and I know it's not proper, but ignore that.

[00:33:02]I Yeah, I'm feeling good. Trying to hydrate.

[00:33:07]Going home tomorrow. So excited.
