I hope everyone is well and looking forward to a lovely the weekend.
The EPU went well. I was actually surprised how good I felt afterwards. The FS nurse kept commenting at how well I looked; particularly compared to one of the ladies she had on Wednesday who is not doing to well.
There is a little confusion over how many eggs I got, either 9 or 10. They haven't really told us much about the embies at this stage but said they would call with a full updated report tomorrow.
Taurean - Thanks for thinking of me. I am glad things went well for you also. I must have had a higher level of sedation than you. I didn't remember anything after the first 5 minutes until I was waking up and being wheeled out of the room. Sorry to hear it was a bit painful for you. as your embies continue to develop wonderfully over the next few days.
JasminStar - sorry to hear you are still a bit under the weather. Fantastic news though that you have probably avoided OHSS. Sorry to hear that you have already lots some of your precious little embies. that the remaining ones continue to strengthen each day.
EmeraldStar - thinking of you hon, I hope the BT went well today.
Wishes - I hope your 2 little embies thawed ok and ET went well. as you begin your 2WW. I hope you manage to keep your mind off things. some for you.
Miss K - I hope your scan and everything went well today.
BT - I too have trouble sleeping at times, particularly in the TWW. Generally because I find it hard to shut my brain off and lay awake thinking about the whole process and all the 'what ifs'. GL with your treatment and you BT tomorrow.

The scan went well thankyou all for asking and no OHSS only one little follicle there measuring 1.5cm so I keep jabbing away till monday when I need a BT to see whats to come of this follicle!
Tauren - Ouchies sounds painful hunny!! I hope the phonecall you get will be nothing but positive news!!! When will they do the transfer?
jasminstar - Aww you poor thing!!! I hope the OHSS stays well away from you and you get good news and the little emby's speed up! Its good you have the back up plan and have a good mind for it all!!
mitf - YAY for you feeling good and how annoying you have to wait till tomorrow for full report bet you'll be going to bed early so then you can wake-up to the phone call hehe!!
Taurean and Mitf - congrats on your EPU today. My view is that any eggs are better than no eggs at all, so that's a great result for both of you.
By the way mitf, I saw your friend request but I am really hopeless at this online stuff. I think I accepted your request but I can't be sure. Maybe you can let me know if what I did worked? It was so exciting to get a friend request though, so thanks.
Emerald Star - I'm dying to know your BT results from today. I really hope that your hcg levels are rising. Keep us posted.
Juniper - thanks for your well wishes. It's nice to know that there are people out there who you don't even know, but who are thinking of you.
Jasminstar - I'm thinking of you and your little embies developing. Hoping that they get to blastie stage for you, and also hoping you get to ET this cycle. Sounds like you've recovered really well from that really high estrogen level before EPU. Fingers crossed for you.
Miss K - good luck with the injections, and I hope that your BT goes well.
BTB - welcome. I could probably say that I have a lack of sleep, but I don't think it has anything to do with IVF. I'm usually tired all the time and I just love sleep. Good luck with your first cycle.
AFM - had 2 x day 5 blasties transferred today. They thawed the 2 and they both survived which is great, so we still have 3 frozen blasties left. The FS was an hour late though and they told me I had to have a full bladder when I came in so that was just torture. I actually had to go to the toilet and let some out otherwise I would have burst.
BT is on 17th Aug so the waiting begins.
Wishes xoxo

Just got the call from the clinic to say that 3 out of 4 eggs have fertilised since EPU yesterday. She said, "That's great, nearly 100%". DH laughed out loud as it was on speaker phone! Since when is 75% nearly 100%??!!
Anyway, looks like transfer will go ahead on Wednesday .
Thanks for all the well wishes. Thinking of you all.
Taurean78, best of luck with your three little ones. Hoping they all turn out to be strong and healthy. So you're going to blastie stage too. Are you hoping to transfer one or two?
Mitf, What news today - I'm dying to know. Hope it's all good.
Wishes, delighted both of your blasties survived the thaw. At least your TWW wait is 9 sleeps away. Sending you heaps of
Miss K, GL on Monday with the BT - keep jabbing til then
EmeralD Star, Thinking of you and hoping your silence is not due to bad results. Sending a big hug to you
Hi to the rest of you ladies and good luck to all.
AFM: A day of good news. The andrology lab rang this morning to report I have 4 embies doing really well and, get this, the one that they thought was a goner split over night. They really are slow little buggers. So I'm back to 12 with 4 that they think will make it to Monday for Blastie stage and some stragglers that they are not too hopeful of but my FS also rang later and said as my EPU was so late on Wednesday they are really half a day behind as they check them in the morning. So FX I may get even more than 4. She told me that Est dropped from 23000 on Monday to 4000 on Friday so she thinks that the OHSS is unlikely at this stage - Yahhhhh. Transfer is 1:30pm on Monday - and hoping to have 2 really strong little ones for the task.
Sorry to keep you waiting I have been out and about all day.
I received a call mid morning to confirm that it was 10 eggs that were collected. Unfortunately a couple of them were a little immature and had to be discarded. We now have 7 lovely little fertilized embies. DH is very chuffed that his little fellas did all the work and no rescue ICSI was needed. The clinic is going to call again on Monday for another update and at this stage ET is still planned for Wednesday. I am feeling very excited about the whole process as this is the closest we have ever gotten to being parents, even if it had to happen in a little dish.
We are playing parents tonight actually, babysitting my beautiful 13 month old niece for 26 hours while my sister & BIL have gone away. DH looked right at home pushing the pram and it was nice to have a little one in the back seat while we were cruising around this afternoon.
Taurean - congrats on your 3 little embies as well.
Miss K - GL for you scan on Monday. I hope your little follie has a few more friends by then.
Jasminstar - stoked for you too hon. Your so lucky that OHSS has stayed at bay. GL for your transfer on Monday - are you planning a double ET?
Wishes - fantastic news that the 2 little ones survived the thaw and ET went well. GL on your 2WW. Oh and the friend request thing did work, not entirely sure what extra features it adds but I was playing around the other day trying to figure how to get a few more things to work on my profile page.
as your embies continue to develop wonderfully over the next few days.
that the remaining ones continue to strengthen each day.
for you.
I too have trouble sleeping at times, particularly in the TWW. Generally because I find it hard to shut my brain off and lay awake thinking about the whole process and all the 'what ifs'. GL with your treatment and you BT tomorrow.
