Cherie how did the trigger go last night?
It went absolutely fine I dropped in to North West Private Hospital, and the Nurse Unit Manager on duty did the injection for me - he was very gentle and I didn't feel a thing. Yesterday my abdomen felt a little bit tender and heavy, but it was actually less painful that the first few days of the Puregon injections.

I had my EPU this morning, in at the QFG Day Theatres in the city (not the North West Medical Centre where I have been going for everything else). I came out of the anaesthetic really quickly (that happened with my last anaesthetic too) and nobody told me that I said anything embarrassing lol.

We got 18 eggs :eek: Honestly, I had said to Gareth on the way there that I would be happy with 8-10, so I'm so surprised by this result. Bob (the OB) said he was thrilled with it, but quite concerned that I'm now at high risk of ovarian hyperstimulation and also that I'm going to feel very nauseous and in quite a bit of pain for a few days, because it can be worse with a higher number of eggs retrieved. He gave Gareth lots of instructions for making me comfy this weekend (who's been such a darling so far) and he's going to ring me tomorrow to let me know how many fertilised. So far, I'm not feeling at all nauseous, although my belly is pretty painful, but I have Series 5 of McLeod's Daughters on DVD to keep me occupied while I rest in my comfy recliner

Sorry for no other personals, but I'm going to head back to the couch and rest some more. I'm thinking of everyone, and hoping that you are all doing OK *mwa*
