First of all, I'm sorry I wasn't able to update last night. The anaesthetic really knocked me around. I ended up quite sick again (although not as bad as last time) and was pretty much like a zombie until I passed out in bed just after 7:30pm. Feeling better this morning, still tired and shakey though.
As for the results - 20 eggs! Was quite shocked and concerned when I found out. At least I know my concerns about OHSS were justified, but still it still worries me that they collected so many eggs. No wonder I was feeling very uncomfortable the last couple of days. I haven't had a chance to talk to my specialist yet (well, apparently I did for a while in recovery but I have absolutely no memory of it!), but I'm feeling good apart from the anaesthetic symptoms so I'm hoping transfer can still go ahead.
I will find out the fertilisation results at about lunchtime today, so will update once I know more.

- After facing the struggle of infertility & IVF, we were blessed with our miracle baby on our 3rd IVF cycle. Another trip on the IVF rollercoaster for our second attempt saw us needing to take a break, followed by a surprise natural miracle 3 months later. We are now so thrilled to be expecting a second little munchkin around Christmas!

Kath rest up and drink loads of water babe.
Do they not give you a BT to check for OHSS? With that many mature eggies, it might not be a bad thing...
I hope you have wonderful fert results. Are you going for blast tx?

Great haul Kath! I hope you get great fert results today.
Rest up. Drink plenty of water and make sure you have heaps of protein - Sustagen is a great! I had a similar result as you and can remember feeling pretty bloated and sore for a few days.
Hope Jake is being nice to his Mummy today.

Tina, nope no BT. They did give me something called Albumen while in theatre? Don't know much about it, but that it's supposed to help reduce the risk of developing OHSS.
Lea, thanks for the tip - sounds like I need to send the hubby out for some Sustagen! (Maybe with a toddler in tow! ;))
