    Jasmine, my head is just not screwed on properly these days, I so wanted to wish you well for your EPU, I'm sorry hun. But yay for 10 eggies! That's awesome hun. I, like you, will be having (hopefully) a frozen transfer, so we won't be far off each other. Apparently because I had the nasal spray as trigger, frozen transfer is the only option. Sorry you won't get your fresh transfer, that damn witch!!

    Myturn, I'm glad you're in a better place right now, hang in there x

    Oh Kerbear, I hope that the psychologist can help with your struggles. I saw one for quite a while and she was a Godsend.

    Thanks so much everyone for your kind thoughts . I was so nervous today I kept calling my nurse to find out what's happened overnight and I finally got the call at almost 3.30. Why do they torture us so much? It turns out 3 eggies have fertilised, and the nurse asked me if I still want to go ahead and try to make them go to day 3 or 5. I was a bit shocked as I honestly expected the worst. I told her what my OH overheard yesterday and she said she'd get the embryologist to call me asap. She must have sensed how upset I was because while I was driving to pick up DS from CC, the mobile rang and I almost ran a car off the road trying to pull over and answer it. Anyhoo, I explained to the lady what my OH overheard yesterday and how I had no sleep last night and she laughed and asked why I didn't call back yesterday instead of worrying myself silly. She said that the guy might have been talking about some of the follicles being too low on fluid which apparently indicates low quality eggs. She said that when they started looking for the eggs the first couple of follies were empty, so maybe that was his concern... In any case, she said 3 fertilised and that they are doing everything they should be, and that's the first huge hurdle. She said that they will update me every day on their progress, and give me an option of freezing on day 3 or 5. I said since I have only 3, I think I will go for day 3. She said that they will assess the situation on day 3 (hopefully they will make it to day 3) but the next big hurdle will be to see if they are suitable for freezing as some embies are not. So I am still not out of the woods, because if they are looking average, and usually they would put them back in as fresh transfer, I don't have that option since I can only do a frozen transfer due to the fact that I had the nasal spray as a trigger. So now I am starting to wonder if the cycle with the nasal spray could possibly stuff me up now, in terms of not having the option of a fresh transfer .

    at least that's better news - but how frustrating that they can't do a freshie if they are not good for freezing

    I know hun, I should have raised the point with my FS before I started the cycle I'm thinking if they are not suitable for freezing on day 3, and I could have had a freshie instead, I could potentially end up with nothing to transfer at all
