HI ladies, Sorry about the late post but its been a loooon day.
What did I say about ovary pain subsiding?!!
Fel ok when I got up but as it neared EPU time I could barely walk. They were running quite late at the hospital and when the pain got really bad I started to get quite worried that I was ovulating already. Had to lie down with heat pack until they got me in!
Anyway, all went fine. 21 eggs collected but not jumping up and down as I know a fair proportion of those will be too immature. Won't find out anything more until Monday as clinic doesn't do any calls on Sun. Oh, unless we get none fertilise so actually hoping we don't hear anyting until Mon.
Still feeling pretty drained and sore but relieved at least this part is over

WTH - As the others have said,P4 pessaries won't sop AF so if she's not here then all sounds good. Praying you can get through the w/e without seeing the dreaded witch.
As for using E2 patches... I am sure they helped me this cycle but I am not sure you could actually use them in natural cycle. Elevated e2 will actually feedback to your body and tell it to slow down producing FSH ( cos it thinks the follies are growing), hence you may not ovulate without the external FSH IYKWIM. I could be wrong so certainly ask your FS

CP - Sounds like your scan was right on track. Hoping all those 9 follies grow and grow over the next few days When is your next scan?

Buliej - sounds like you need to grill your FS about the DHEA. I am on a few new ( non protocol) things this cycle which were only because I pushed my FS to let me try them. Fortunately I have a FS who is very open to trying "untested" treatments.
