    Morning ladies, hope everyone's getting on ok and looking forward to the weekend x.

    Scan went ok this morning... things progressing slowly. Which seems a better plan than everything happening at once then getting OHSS again! Compared the graphs to last time again and it looks much better - there's more follicles and the growth between the scans is slow but steady. Got a couple at 16mm and a few near that but none at the magic 18mm yet so have another scan on monday morning. That works out much better logistically so am pleased with that.

    Will be glad to get to EC though, feel v bloated and uncomfortable today. Think it's a combination of stims, met and a badly-judged BD last night.

    pickle thinking of you, hope you are okay x

    tea yay for follicles starting to get there for you. I had a scan this morning too, I have a few 10,11,12s on each side so back on Monday for another scan too. Sorry you are feeling so bloated, I'm feeling like I have a balloon jammed in my abdomen so feel your pain a little.

    Finding it do hard not knowing when EC might be now as work are getting antsy. ARGH!

    Totally with you on the work-planning thing. I'm just so relieved it's not monday (as well as work, also need to help my dad move some furniture, and OH is going to london that evening)..... now just need an actual date so I can start planning time off.

    Also with you on the balloon-abdomen! I just looked at a ruler (seriously lol) to check out what these follies look like. No wonder we're getting uncomfortable... think how much space they're taking up in there!

    ETA: we are totally going to be EC twins :)

    Woohoo! My boss has just said I can take the time between EC and ET as sick leave, so I won't have to use any annual leave for it. If everything goes to plan (ha!), ET should be a few days before Easter so I can then take some leave up to Easter and get a really decent break.
  • More bloating here too. Scan this morn and EC should be monday (finally!!) but they will call to confirm later today once the consultant had reviewed file.

    Tea hurrah for things going according to plan! Isla glad your scan was ok too :) I know what you mean about work, I've had to change plans as EC 5 days later than expected but thankfully they were ok.

    Pickle hope it's good news today, absolutely everything crossed for you.xxx
