    Good luck for tomorrow Isla - at the Nuffield its sedation but it might as well be GA. Backless gown, hair net and you wear your dressing gown and slippers as you walk to theatre. Canula in hand and heart monitors stuck on (3 I think) then oxygen mask and blood pressure cuff with the wee clip thing on your finger. I was totally knocked out and honestly didn't feel a single thing either time. I can see why Michael Jackson got addicted to propofol, it's amazing!

    17 eggs is amazing Tea -well done!

    LA - tentative congratulations!

    Good luck to all the PUPO ladies, thinking of you all.

    Sedation at our clinic. They also said there'll be someone in the room administering pain relief, and I'll have gas and air to suck on!

    Good luck Isla - fingers crossed for a good haul. :)
  • Good luck Isla!

    My clinic said no meds for ET. They said it's similar to having a smear test?
