success.

Mel, big congrats on the 6 fertilised. And now I've just noticed your fresh post saying that they're all continuing to grow which is awesome.

Ellie, hope to hear some news from you really soon!

Smithy, well done on startng the pill and getting the ball rolling.

BW, hope that you're on the mend soon. Anxiety issues aren't much fun.

Chez, I'm sorry to see that you're feeling down. It's understandable, but I guess you made the decision to move and change jobs for a good reason so don't be doubting yourself. I'm not exactly sure what stage you're at in organising a visit to a clinic in Canberra, but maybe you could be investigating those options now and making enquiries. You probably already have...

Shelly, am really keen to hear how you've gone today. Hope it all went well.

Mo5, DW was the same with regard to always having to pee and feeling like a blimp. Remember, the FS is the expert and if they thought you were at imminent risk of OHSS they'd be changing your drug protocols. I know I've had similar thoughts with DW as to why they were still giving her 100IU Puregon as the final dose when she was already over cooking in a big way. But you've just got to trust what they are doing and they need to gradually let your follies grow a bit more. Apparently they grow at about 1mm a day. And keep pumping through that water, that's what they keep drilling into us. Don't stress about the EPU either, the main reason DW had a few hassles early on is because they were unsure about how much sedation to give her. A good indication that it wasn't as bad as perhaps I've made it sound is that she said if she had her time again she'd still have a local anaesthetic so that she could see what happens during the process. Plus the little so and so (whilst being very well zonked out) still had the prescence of mind to try and scam extra spending money for her trip to Sydney in a couple of weeks by slightly adjusting the amount we had discussed and figuring I wouldn't take it on board, which I didn't. She's so proud of herself for that.

Big hi to BG, Kerri, Deni, Lou, Lauz and apologies to those who I have missed. I'm having a bit of trouble keeping up at the moment but I am reading every post.

OK, so the scientist rang early this morning (which was great because they are flat out today and said they may not call til afternoon) and we have had 10 fertilise, and 8 that are good so we're working on the figure of 8 at the moment. 14 of the eggs were either too mature or immature to be of much use which she said is normal with such a high egg yield and nothing to worry about. So we'll hear more on Wednesday about how they are progressing.

Sorry for another long post, hopefully I haven't sent anyone to sleep.
