Well, it really started to hit me yesterday. My stomach was in so much pain. It hurt to walk, just like I remembered last time. It isn't that I feel cramps at all, but my stomach feels bloated! It feels like gas pains, but is likely just water. Although I'm already down five pounds since egg retrieval! I was also SUPER constipated so I had the hubs go and get me some Milk of Magnesia and wow, do I feel better today! That stuff really works. Pain meds and anesthesia really does a number on your system.
The day after ER I was feeling so good that I kind of talked my dr into doing the transfer on Tuesday! However, he is having me text him a report of how I'm doing each morning. I am honestly a little scared to do the transfer now after reading some horror stories about OHSS on google. Ugh! I'm not sure what to do, and I'm praying for some clarity!
I did get a report on my eggs 1 day post ER... Seven out of seven eggs fertilized and we have 28 unfertilized eggs in the freezer! Wow! I guess I did harvest a good batch!
I won't get another update until Monday or Tuesday, likely. I guess they just let them do their thing since we are planning on a five day transfer. No news is good news for us!
I'm a little nervous about all seven fertilizing, but it is definitely better than last time where ZERO fertilized! Prior to doing this, I was told that when ICSI is preformed, about 50%-70% will fertilize. I'm a little shocked with 100%. I'm praying for just one or two to make it. We want just enough.
I will hopefully have more updates soon!

That's great news!!!
What is your plan for transfer? One or two?
Yay!! What great numbers! Hope the transfer goes well Tuesday (if that's when you end up doing it!). This all seems like it's happening so fast!
One! My husband would leave me if we had twins again! Haha! But I think we are going to push the transfer now. I ended up with a mild case of ohss and don't want to end up in the hospital :(
Thank you!! I'm now waiting on pins and needles to see how many we have left!!! I couldn't sleep last night either worrying about them! I think we may be pushing the transfer... I ended up with a mild case of ohss :(
I understand your thoughts on just enough. We had to do resue ICSI after NONE of our 10 eggs fertilized. 6 fertilized, so I anticipated 3 making it to transfer day. All 6 made it, but we transfered the best 2 and will have to wait until Day 8 to see if we have any to freeze. I prayed on it and told God that I wanted just enough and I'd rather have just 1 or 2 and go through the entire process with the meds and retreival again if we had to, but HIS will be done. So we'll see what happens on Monday. Lots of prayers!
We are in the same boat! Did you have any to freeze? I hope this cycle is a success for you!
