Bat: Glad to hear you had a perfect embryo and made the transfer anyways! That is awesome! Drink Powerade instead of Gatorade if you can...it has less sodium in it. I even found that the Vitamin Water from Walmart has electrolyes in it and 0 sodium. Get some rest! :D

Katie: Hope you are feeling better too. :D

are you guys having shoulder pains?? my shoulder hurts like crazy!! when i had my laproscopic surgery, the syptom was shoulder pains because of they insert some gas in your stomach to give them more room to work with inside. not sure why it effects the shoulder, but it does. and now i'm having the same pains...really bad. do u think it might be because my stomach is bloated?

Bat: Not sure on that one. I have a prosthetic shoulder...and therefore feel all pain...but I didnt even have any that day...other than right before ET ...I had acupuncture done...and the bed was bothering my shoulder. They did hurt after I had the gas too for lap surgery. Maybe it was just the bed and the way you were laying. Dont know.

hey bat- glad Et went well today- put your feet up and take it easy- sorry about the OHSS hope it passes quickly

Tammy thanks for the info on implant cramp/spotting stuff- I feel loads better :)

Rin - wow, shit. I am so sorry for you. You've been such an amazing cheerleader for us, and I wept when I read your news - I think the chinese diet will be a great way to get your body on track for May- I have a friend who is doing that as well and she's been on the fertility diet for about 7-8 weeks, and she feels great.

best to you all

I dont think so. Lots of women who get OHSS also get pregnant. It seems to go hand in hand. So no worries about that.

Thanks for your support Kelly.. It seems like we have gone down the same path on this infertility quest... :shock: My thoughts are the same..if it doesn't work with donor sperm this time then we will do donor eggs next time... I am already on the waiting list at my clinic but don't know how long I will have to wait... Did you use donor sperm too or dh's sperm?? I have everything crossed for you. It is a tough road isn't it, it just feels never-ending at the moment, I think we are all very strong women to go through this.
Well only 3 days before my final bt, but I still feel totally normal....not even sore boobs!! ( and I'm on prog pessaries and hcg shots every 3 days...so you"d think I'd be feeling something, even if it was synthetically induced!!!!!
WHo knows anything!!!!!! :wink:
I hope everyone else is going well in their cycles and my positive thoughts are with you all. x x x

hey girls!

Here is my update. I had two blasts transferred today/ I had three of them at the RE asked me 2 or 3, but I decided that three might be a bit difficult to carry with my back problems, and 2 was prob the more responsible decision. Plus one could still split! 6 hours down and still not tempted to POAS, pshhh this will be an easy 2ww! :shock: :wink:

I had really bad cramping as soon as I laid down at home. Now there are just random twinges. The RE said I prob had a bit og OHSS and that was the pain and peeing a lot. He said when it is severe then you dont pee.

Suga I would NOT skip your prog. Just do it in the leg muslcle. I would do two 1cc each. If you were allergic I am surprised you didn;t react before now??

Rio: Yeah I would no sweat it my RE says sex after bfp is ok.

Bat: Woo hoo one perfect one is all you need :)

Weezie: Glad dh was abl;e to get you settled in first.

Jomae: Sorry it didn;t work out. Great job with the pMA!!

Ok this is abit uncomfortable, so I will write more tomorrow!

MIA glad your et went well. I think u made the right choice with 2. Sounds like we ARs in the same boat. I have slight ohss but hoping it'll pass. I also have slight cramping and twinges. I'm feeling optimistic!and no POAS for me ... Not yet:)
rest up!

Question: when you're laying down, can your legs be bent at the knee, or do they want them straight?
