I am finally feeling up to sitting and even walking around without the need to brace my belly. I made a phone call to the clinic this morning as I was starting to get a little worried about OHSS. My pain for the last couple of days was high in my belly, almost to my ribs. I have been taking the Tylenol #3 pretty regularly to get some much needed rest.

11-12 (the RN was exactly sure) of my 14 eggs fertilized - yea! We will be doing a 5dt tomorrow at 11:30. I've got to remember to go easy on the water as I tend to take "full bladder" a little bit too literally. Even the RE during the mock transfer said "whoa, not THAT full". My clinic is not very forthright with information on embryo development, I guess I thought I would get an update to see how many are still hanging on. When I asked my nurse this morning if she had heard anything about how they were doing, she dashed over to the lab and came back with a vague response of "they are doing well and growing fine". hmmmm....hopefully I will find out the stats on all of them tomorrow.

We are planning on transferring no more that 2. Even though I know that multiples are a risk, they scare me. We have had a child together already - no interventions needed - so I am operating under the hope that these embryos will be happy to be back home and snuggle in with wild abandon. Delusional, maybe - but most of all hopeful. Anyone out there that is nearing 40 with an opinion about how many to transfer?
