Jeck- Thanks... only 7 more weeks on the shots to go.... Well I know the 2ww is a drag.... however when you get your BFP news it will be well worth it.

I am stunned to report that 7 of my 9 eggs fertlized! I was really not expecting good news to be honest. Was surprised to have 9 eggs (I had prepared myself for empty follicles) and now can't believe that so many fertilized. Plus we did half ICSI and there was no difference in fertilization rate. We are scheduled for transfer tomorrow! (Should I be nervous for this?)

Cowgirl, Lori, Haylie-I can't wait to see your BFPs tomorrow! I am sending you girls lots of luck!

Jeck-Congrats on the 8 frosties! That's awesome! ER was fine, better than I hoped. There were some scary moments-going under the anesthesia being that hardest for me. But I'm proud of myself for sticking with it and going through this. At the start I really didn't think I would make it to this point. Walking through the door of the hospital was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Thanks for all of your support.

Jenn-So sorry to hear about the struggles you had with your clinic! I hope you let them know how their actions affected you. Did you have your transfer yet?

Charity, rparsons-hope your ER goes well! I will be thinking of you guys! I think there is someone else in this category right now . . . sorry for leaving anyone out!

Hope everyone is doing well. I really feel for you guys doing the progesterone shots. I hope that you guys are hanging in there. I'm doing the gel-I think I've told DH 10 times how hard it must be to do the shots. You guys are so brave and real troopers! I hope they get easier for you as time goes on.

Best wishes to everyone!

well, today went GREAT!!! The doctor was estimating 5-8 follicles and I had 15 eggs!!! I am so excited. I guess they were hiding back there somewhere.

Tommorrow I should get an update as to how many fertilized.

Feeling ok. I'm sore and in pain but nothing I can't handle.

Sorry so short. I'm going to take a bath and lay down.

Hello all! Retrieval went well. 15 mature eggs. 10 of those fertilized! Had mild OHSS, kind of scary if you ask me! Felt horrible for a few days! :oops: But, we transferred 3 embies on Sunday the 8th, day 5. My clinic is having me test on Monday the 16th~ Had acupuncture before the transfer and during this cycle. Very positive this go round! :wink: Surely baby love will come my way! Take care everyone and look forward to talking again tomorrow!

Oh, yeah. Is anyone else being advised to eat warm foods instead of cold ones? No ice cream, ice water, nothing like that? Heard it helps blood flow to the uterus. Hell, at this point anythings worth a shot!! :lol:

rparsons-so glad your EC went so well. 15 eggs is awesome! I can't wait to hear about your fertilization!

ampmed1-sorry about your OHSS; I bet that was scary! That was one of my fears of doing this because I was told I was at a higher than normal risk of this. I am sorry that you have been feeling so badly and hope that you are doing better now. Sounds like EC and ET went great for you! I can't wait to hear about your BFP. My acupuncturist also recommends warm foods-soups, hot tea (green tea especially) and to avoid ice cream or very cold drinks. She said lukewarm water is better that cold too. She did say that if you eat something cold, like ice cream, you should follow it up with something warm like tea. She said that in Chinese medicine, cold foods are considered to interrupt your various energy flows, including that to your core (and uterus!). Like you say, at this point, why not?!

Jeck-you didn't have to update the list just for me! But thanks! That makes me feel special!

Charity, Nance and BecP-Good luck with EC! I'll be thinking of you guys tomorrow and Wednesday! Hope you get lots of eggs!

Have a good night everyone!

Good Morning Ladies,

Just a quick post to say Hi and I am off to my ER! I am nervous but excited that this part will be over in a few hours. Please say a prayer that everything goes well for me.

I'll check in once I am home and awake.

Good luck to my ER partner Charity. Let us know how it goes. I will be thinking about you today.

Good luck to Cowgirlclass and Lori. My prayers will be with you for a BFP today!

Sorry for a lack of personals this morning but I better get going. Don't want to be late.

All my best
