miloro, I was so emotional when I woke up from my first EPU that I burst into tears (lol, it was my first general anaesthetic and I was terrified, so I was overwhelmingly relieved to actually wake up!! I think it was also a lot of pent up stress about doing IVF doing our first IVF). The nurses didn't know what to do, so they called DH up. It was the only time he was ever allowed to see me in recovery. The others were much easier, I promise! If it makes you feel better, I read an article recently that said that frozen cycles can sometimes be more successful than fresh cycles because the stims put a lot of stress on our bodies in the fresh cycles, whereas our bodies are more calm for a FET. FX for a great fertilisation rate! Lol, it's funny, my SIL said exactly the same thing to me (about the multiple IVF) recently after it took her 2 cycles to get a BFP.

Arohanui, the FSH injections are usually pretty good - the only s/e (side effect) I've ever had from them was fatigue and that was only for one of my cycles. All my EPUs (egg pick-ups) have been done under a light general anaesthetic, so can't help you there. I've never had any meds for the embryo transfer, but I know some (mostly American, I think?) clinics prescribe valium.
