Hi Julie, Tara and Kelly,

thanks for all the advice - I will take it all on board for ET which should be Wed or Thurs - I'll find out in the morning when they ring to tell me how many eggs fertilised. They retrieved 15 eggs from about 16 follicles which I was really pleased with and should give us a good chance, I hope.
Don't think my clinic do recommend a sedative but like you Tara I had several IUI's so witha bit of luck I won't find it too bad.

Am pretty sore today after the egg collection but taking it very easy - writing this is definitely the most strenuous thing I've done today. And I'll be doing nothing much for a couple of days after my ET also.

Kelly it sounds like your cycle is very similar to mine in terms of follicle numbers so fingers crossed we both get a good result.

RE Tobi I was advised to stay on it by my CF team who said it is believed to be safe in pregnancy, I'm on it at the moment.

Anyway talk soon,

Elizab.

Hi Kelly,

I stayed on TOBI, and even did some inhaled Aztreonam during my pg. (TOBI wasn't working) It's perfectly safe during pg. The tobramycin you want to stay away from is IV tobra. So if you go on IVs there will be many more side effects to consider.

Elizab,

Sounds like the ER went great! Congrats! I'm thinking lots of fertilizing thoughts for you! Give us a report in the AM. I hope you gets lots of beautiful embies out of this batch. Good luck!

Elizab,

I had 5 out of 11 fertilize (just about half, just like you!) I'll be so curious to know how many you transfer. Did they mention how many cells each embie was today? On day 3 I had one 8 cell, one 7 cell and three 6 celled embies. We ended up transferring the 4 strongest embies. Good luck tomorrow! I'll be thinking sticky feet for those embies to hang on and snuggle in for 9 months!

Boy am I tired! Yesterday was retrieval. It wasn't half as bad as what I thought. When I woke up the doctor said "So I hear we can call you the Easter Bunny with all them eggs!" I didn't know what meant until the nurse came in and said 29 eggs!

Oh my gosh! I can't believe it! I have been drinking tons of water and still I can get OHSS.

Well here is the report as of this morning:

29 eggs retrieved
23 matured
18 fertilized overnight
(The embryologist froze 3)
15 still growing as we speak will know more on Sunday morning!
E2 as of day before was 3060

I am so scared! What is the signs of OHSS. I feel so bloated today! But am drinking tons!

About 3/4 of the way down this page you can see my bloating from OHSS. You will get very bloated very fast. Drink lots of water and GATORADE to replace your electrolytes.
