Hi all -- been away for a trip to the snow and so much has happened with you all! As for me, AF should arrive soon. It was due last Friday, but is late (of course!). I'm spotting today so maybe tomorrow.
Sophie - congrats on your two new kitties.
JackieG - good luck with EC. Hopefully all those follicles will be filled with perfect little eggs!
Anna - sorry to hear about your dr cancelling your cycle. I hope you get good news on the 24th.
JenC & Joanna - good luck with ET today. We'll keep our fingers crossed for you the next 2 weeks.
Angel - congrats on ET. Not long to wait now. Good luck on the 25th!!!!
Carly - Welcome. Everyone's cycle is a little different so I'm sure someone will have answers to all your questions. One thing about the injections is to just relax. They're not as bad as you are probably expecting them to be. Also, icing down the area before the injection helps.
Hi to everyone else on the list that I didn't mention.

Yep... we had EC today and I thought I had 10 follies but they were

keeping it a secret I guess because we got 17 eggs!!!

Very sore right now. Sorer than last time.

I will let you all tomorrow how many fertilize.

Thanks for all the PMA. I'm sure feeling it and I know I will be better soon.

Hope everyone else is doing great things too.

JenC-
How was your ET? Hope you are well.

Joanna-
Hope your ET goes well. I will be watching for your news.

Kelly-
Thanks for the well wishes I hope AF arrives for you soon.

Sorry, but am very tired and sore I will check in with everyone else a bit later.

Just wanted to give you a quick update. . . . I had my first u/s on the 12th and the second on the 16th. I started my Gonal F injections last night. My DH works nights so I was on my own with the shots, I was so scared but once it was done it really was not bad. Tonight was much easier. We are heading to Spokane, WA on Friday and hope to have EC on the 27th.

Sounds like everyone is doing well and I am keeping very positive thoughts for all of us this month.

Well I'm resting and resting to make sure this bloating goes down.

So the DR called to day and out of the 17 eggs, 6 were immature :(

But out of the remaining 11, 9 were fertilized. So i am very happy with that!!

I need to go lay down now as I am very sore.

PMA to everyone.
