Good luck today pink. Keeping my fingers crossed for best quality eggs.

Am egg-dancing for you PTP!

Code - v annoying! My OH basically told me I was fat the other week (charming!) so now I feel guilty eating anything in front of him. He's got a right belly on him these days but I am too polite to point that out! Sometimes a girl needs chips.... they need to understand that.

Still no AF (CD56). Definitely feel like it's on its way (I have the rage lol), but I felt like that a few weeks ago too and nothing showed up.

On the plus side... it's friday, I finish at 1pm today and the world's most annoying 'colleague' isn't in today. Got a fun afternoon of housework to get through then it's onto relaxing with a good book and a fluffy cat

18 eggs!!!!!!!!!

And lots of warnings about OHSS symptoms because between that and my blood levels I'm at risk. Feel fine at the mo - prob still drugged off my face

Yay, great result PTP. Definitely keep an eye out for any OHSS symptoms though... v nasty! Crack open the gatorade/lucozade.

Have everything crossed for a fantastic fertilisation rate.

I did have to laugh when they were talking about all the symptoms and how I had to tell them if I got any at all. It was when it got to the point where they said if I have trouble breathing I have to call them. I'm not likely to ignore something like that!!!

BTW, gas and air is hilarious. Every time I sucked on it the ceiling started moving. Best of all, I kept telling them the ceiling was moving. :rotfl:

Excellent haul pink. :easter_ba: I know this is an easter pic but it's how I'm imagining your eggs. Fingers crossed for an equally eggcellent (see what I did there?) fertilisation rate and loads of top class embies (even though you only need one).

Oh God I've just remembered something else I said while drugged. Embryologist came round when I was in recovery and talked us through what would happen. When she was leaving I said "thanks for looking after our babies"

Well done Pink, I has OHSS and the hospital advised lucozade, lots of healthy protein food and that I should drink 3 lots of build protein shakes per day, I got mine from sainsburys pharmacy). They were quite sickly but I took them as advised for the 2 ww. ( I also had 18 eggies and my result is currently having his afternoon nap). Best of luck to you and take it easy xx

Thanks for the advice. Got chicken in the fridge for dinner but we were very tempted to order Dominos till I saw your protein comment!
