    I've only had full GA for EC before, so this will be different. But I'm not heading in tense so I think that helps. I believe they let you top it up with nitrox if it gets sore at my clinic. I'll post a review tomorrow!

    T2D, forgive me if this is over-personal but will your OH be ahem, contributing tomorrow? Can't remember if you're aiming for more embies now or just getting eggs for later...if that makes any sense!

    He will be. Actually he always does. The frozen ones are fertilized embryos.

    Had a comedy moment last night when I realised he had to have 3-5 days since last 'release'. It was only 2 days to EC, and well, I hadn't been involved in a release in the right time frame! Turns out he had this, as one might say, in hand. He had actually listened to me on the weekend and realised that he needed to do something if the EC was on Wednesday!

    ETA: They don't normally freeze eggs. The success rate with frozen eggs is very poor, but excellent with embryos.

    I did think that about eggs and freezing. Have everything crossed that you'll get a good haul tomorrow and lots of lovely embies in the next day or so. You'll have an actual freezer full of them soon! Get some on ebay girl :)

    I know. There is literally a dozen on them hanging out in their posh digs in Chelsea.
    I'm a bit of a hoarder in life generally. I don't want to use them as what if it doesn't work and I run out!! Foolish I know. What is the point of them if I don't let them grow.

    I would have done a FET this cycle except that NHS is paying for it.

    Speaking of Ebay - I have a full 1200iu menopur. Unopened as they thought I might need more, and then decided not to. What do people do with leftover drugs?
