Jenny - Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Melo - Good luck with the retrieval - I'm sending you positive vibes for lots of merry little embryos!!! We are transfer 1 5 day blasto. As with Friday the 13th - I'm with you. Maybe it is lucky. My fav little dog (we have 4) was born on the 1/1 ...

Melo - Good luck! I hope all goes well with pick up. I understand the whole not telling people at work. I'm sure you can imagine how hard it was to come up with why I was in hospital for 6 days and had two weeks off work with the OHSS! I had to come up with a reason why they shouldn't even visit me ...

Great news PA_FA - and don't worry too much about the 4x a day finger pricking, it's not so bad and I have to do it every day anyways! Endo wants me doing it 6 - 8 X a day once pregnant! (which should start this friday by the way!!!).

Melmar - I have excellent news on the drinking front! The friend who was probably most likely to pressure me into having a drink with her texted me on Saturday night to tell me they are moving her wedding from March 2011 to October 2010 because she's pregnant. So voila - no pressure to drink - I'll ...

Hmm, wide variety of opinions on this out there by the sounds of it! My RE is of the opinion you can do as you please. Simply go about your usual lifestyle. I was majorly concerned about horse riding, since I ride every day and he said I can do what I like as long as there's no pain.

Back from the U/S and lining is at 9.00 so we are good to go some time next week - just need to wait for the clinic to call me back with the plan!

JJ - Sorry, I meant to add Happy Birthday to my post yesterday! Oh, what I wouldn't do for a few glasses of wine, but I've promised myself that I wouldn't. I figured it was easier to cut out the wine that the sugar - let's just manage one thing at a time! On the wine front, I'm really going to ...

Melo - JJ is right, no chance of OHSS with a FET cycle - thankfully! Next time I see the inside of a hospital room had better be because I'm giving birth! I also completely understand your meltdown. I had a LOT of them in the fresh cycle. Complete nut case, especially when I was in the hospital with ...

Blair - Oops, sorry!

Malmar - welcome and I hope you're right about the May babies! I'm a May baby and so is my mum - so hopefully that's a good omen!

JerseyJane - OMG, I'm so glad it's not just me feeling frisky on the estrogen!

Blair - Interesting to know you are a biology teacher. I work at a university in science ...

Congrats Leorira! That's great news! Makes it all worth it then!

Melo - I'm a newby. This is my first FET cycle. I did a fresh cycle in May 2010 which put me in hospital for 6 nights with OHSS. only 18 eggs, 14 fert, 6 embies made it to day 5 but only 2 frozen. The bloodwork leading up to ER didn't put me at high risk of OHSS but I certainly walked out of the day ...

Sorry Leorira - I can't answer your question, but I do have one of my own!

I'm about to do an FET cycle and have crinone gel left over from my fresh cycle as I never got to transfer and have pessaries from the script from this cycle. Doc as said to use the crinone first and then the pessaries. It ...

Melo - I'm on the same week as you by the looks of it - ultrasound this week and transfer the week of the 9th Aug. Maybe it's a southern hemisphere thing - I'm in Geelong, Vic. Australia.

McFarland - welcome! Were you in the May Cycle buddies group?

Krissy - I ended up with OHSS the day after retrieval (and ended up in hospital, including ICU, for 6 days), so I can understand your pain. Be sure to be completely upfront with your doc about what's going on. If it's not too severe, I'm sure they'll still do the transfer. I know my clinic was still ...
