Meredith: The follitropin study was independent, but you can never be quite sure who it was requested by. Thanks for the input re: ICSI, too. I hope the injections don't keep feeling so cumbersome for you, it'll be over in a few days.

AFM, time is just continuing to drag by, which is making me feel a bit , if that explains it . I'm an impatient control freak at the best of times, so the waiting is what kills me! I have some swelling and discomfort in the lower part of my pelvis (and, sorry for the TMI , terrible constipation), but nothing as bad as last time. I can't get over how thirsty I am, though; I'm drinking anywhere up to six litres of water a day!
