<font color="aa00aa">Minako, here's what will happen.
You report to the reception when you arrive, and will be shown to the changing room. You'll be given a locker key in the changing room, robe, slippers, hair net. After changing, (no need to shave down there), you push open the other door of the changing room which leads to the waiting area in the OT. There is a row of chairs there, about 5 seats, and you sit there in your lovely robe.
Nurse will call your name, check your i/c number and doctor's name. Will insert a stent on to the top of your hand for the anethesia medication later. Then you will be siting at that row of seats until you are called for your turn.
When you are called, you will walk to the OT, anethetist will say hi to you, nurse will ask you hop onto the OT bed, adjust you. Check your i/c name again etc.
Dr will appear and say hi to Minako and suddenly zzz time. When you wake up, you will be on the bed sleeping, nurse will come around check your BP etc, until she thinks you can change and walk out.
TADAH.
Tips on relaxing.
I found that when I forced myself to say hi and chit chat with the nurses and other patients, it helped a lot in relieving stress. The nurses are quite experienced, but if you worry, can always ask for the head nurse of the OT to help you. Just smile a lot, say a prayer, hum a song to while the time away and keep your nerves in check.
After procedure, nurse will ask you change, then sit you down tell you about the anethesia do/dont (e.g. don't operate vehicle today), then you can ask how many follicles retrieved etc. Then out to the normal patient waiting area for your DH lor..
Hope I recall my adventure correctly lol</font>
