I also had my egg collection yesterday and got 24! How are you feeling? My clinics policy is that they freeze any embryos if you have more that 20 eggs collected because of ohss. They lowered my dose this time to try and help with that but I was so bloated last time and was in pain with a 'trapped wind' kind of feeling. Was in pain last night but seems to have eased a bit this morning. Just waiting for the call now to say how many have fertilised. Good luck :-)

I really hope it goes well too, is this your first cycle? I've been told drinking lots will help with the bloating, mine seems to have eased a bit but my belly is still massive! I'm with Liverpool women's x

Morning i'm still quite sore too my belly hasn't swollen thank god. I'm attending Glasgow Royal. I have been drinking water from Friday lol haven't been to the toilet from Friday morning a think that is my problem with my belly xx

Morning, that's good news that your belly hasn't swollen, rubbish that you haven't been to the toilet though, keep drinking loads and hopefully that will help with that too, I've read a lot of people have had to take something to help them go to the toilet, that must be really uncomfortable. My belly is quite bloated still and still having pains like I've got trapped wind which must be the fluid build up I think, I really don't want it to get as bad as last time :-/ luckily I haven't had trouble going to the toilet. It just shows how everybody reacts different to things. I'm a bit nervous about the phone call tomorrow! X
