the chances of you ovulating spontaneously while on Lucrin/synarel is next to none, so don't worry. What you're likely feeling is the start of your follies getting to a size where they're going to start being uncomfortable. Some, like *Tam* carried around 17 mature eggs and don't feel a thing, while I've felt full and achy with only 6 eggs. You also variously feel moody, teary. bloated, uncomfortable etc on Puregon as your E2 (oestrogen) levels are climbing in ways your body hasn't experienced before. Women only usually mature 1 egg at a time, and here we are producing approx 10 times that amount, with all the corresponding hormones that come with it. No wonder we get all sorts of funny aches and pains!
Suzy, a lot of clinics are reluctant to transfer 2 blasts simply because of the chance of twins. If you've had success with IVF before (I have to admit to not being great with remembering people's backgrounds - sorry ) then it's often assumed that you will only need to transfer 1 embryo at a time. Perhaps this decision being taken out of your hands may be a relief, but if you feel strongly about 2 embryos, make a case for it with your FS and see how you go! Though I've definitely found that often you'd have to obtain this agreement with your FS prior to your cycle even starting, or the clinic won't have it in their notes, and often won't let it go ahead.
