Hey, everyone!
Zirly!!! That is the best news!!! Congrats!!! You must be over the moon tonight.

You must have just flipped when you got the phone call!!!
Angela: Good luck, the sensitivity to smells was definitely one of the first symptoms for me when I was pregnant. Hopefully, another smiley face on the board soon!
Nimble: good luck on the transfer! Now the 2ww, and you can’t even drink during it.
Paula: I’m sorry that things don’t appear to have worked out this time. I’m thinking of you. I know how it feels, though, when you just know it didn't work. With my first IVF, I just knew when it didn't work.
Souris, Lisa – fellow OHSS sufferers! God, this is awful!! I felt SO BAD, and mine was just, supposedly, a fairly mild case of OHSS. I can’t imagine how bad you must have felt, Lisa, if you were hospitalized!! I was basically non-functioning all of Sat and most of Sun. The clinic even gave me a prescription for Tylenol with codeine. Still in pain today, but I can actually fit food in my stomach and air in lungs again. My abdomen was so distended, I looked about 5 mos pregnant. I went back to the clinic Sat and today for blood work and a scan. There are pockets of fluid around my ovaries, and the follicles are still as big as they were, filled with fluid. I’m supposed to do the ET on Wed, if all goes well with me, and with the little guys.
That’s the good news so far, BTW! As of this morning, there were two 5-cell embies, two 7-cell embies, one 8-cell, and one 9-cell. One of the 5-cells was slightly fragmented, but not too bad. The embryologist that called did say, though, that typically you lose about 50% between now and the transfer date two days later. But I'm hoping for all six to hang in there!
Well, time for me to get in my jammies and snug down for the night.
Take care, everyone!!
Toni
