Emerald Star - no worries. Down regulation in effect goes for a cycle and a half. We begin by using a nasal spray, synarel, at the end of this cycle to surpress the amount of estrogen produced by the ovaries. It allows us to move forward with a more contolled stimulation in the following cylce. If you want more detials its probably easier to google down regulation - you will probably find a brief explanation on one of the IVF clinic websites. I will google yous too and have a look at the difference.
Kay Kay, good luck on Tuesday. I've done 4 transfers and only the most recent of those has actually hurt. The others were just a bit uncomfortable (just due to the speculum). The last one the cervix wasn't in the right position or something? He had to use this other instrument to hold the cervix and that hurt like heck, but only for a few minutes. Unless your Dr says otherwise, you should be fine going back to work if you want to. I always take the day off (and the next day) because I tend to get stressed at work and I'd rather just go home and relax.
Emerald Star, glad to hear you can get started. I was in a buddy group of IVF first-timers on another site last year when I did my first cycle. About 2/3 of the group got a BFP first time, so it does happen. FX you are one of the lucky ones.
