I completley understand what you are going through with the pain from the egg pick up. No one told me it was going to be painful either. I think i remeber 'its a simple procedure that shouldn't take too long'... I think they forget to mention the afterwards part

For me the pain was pretty much gone after the first couple of days with just slight niggling after that. Well that was until the last couple of days anyway. I have started bloating and am in a lot of pain at the moment. They suspect i might have OHSS.

So, you got 16 eggs thats fantastic. Fingers crossed for you that they all develop. I am guessing from your dates for embryo transfer that you are having a blastocyst transfer. Did you decide that or is that just what your clinic does? I did a blast transfer and was terrified the whole 5 days waiting for them to mature.

Anyway enough from me, goodluck with fertilisation.
