Hey Kelly,
Well, I DID feel my ovaries bouncing around in there! I remember feeling really full and I couldn't walk very fast because I could literally feel the ovaries bouncing up and down. It was almost an achy feeling. I was on 5 Gonal-F and 2 Repronex/day. I think they stimmed me so much because of my severe endometriosis. I even had two active cysts on one of my ovaries during the cycle.
Now remember, I only had 11 mature eggs (20 mature size follies, many of them empty, and about 20 small follies) My e2 level was over 8,000. So it's quality over quantity. I was definitely overstimulated and barely escaped OHSS.
I do have two beautiful babies from that experience and I'm wishing all the ladies here good luck. It's worth it!!! It's hard work, from they day you conceive and I will never stop worrying about them. (first getting pg, then it was the pregnancy, now it's other life things) They really are my life. Them and my husband. I just live and breathe for them. If you're interested, I've got tons of photos online:

If you click on "Birthday" you will see a couple pics of me on delivery day. I was gigantic with over 12 pounds of baby in there...
