Well done, 17 eggs sounds amazing! The pessaries are nasty but you'll get used to them. Rest up and try to relax. Xx

Wow, 17 eggs, no wonder you were feeling bloated yesterday. Hope you rest up and feel more comfortable very soon and get fantastic news with your fertilisation rates tomorrow. X

Hi Maikai. Well done, but that's a lot of eggs, so make sure you have a good rest and drink plenty of water. Have some paracetamol or whatever has been prescribed for you for pain, but no anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen. Keeping everything crossed for fertilisation. Thinking of you. Diane

Wow! That's loads! Well done, rest up & take it easy xx

Wow 17!! Thats amazing...I wish you so much luck. The pessaries aren't as bad as you think, I was terrified of having to use them but they are so easy, nothing to worry about at all. And just think it's all worth it :) keep going and stay positive. I have all my fingers and toes crossed x

Wow 17 well done xxx

Hi, well done and rest up! As Diane says take paracetamol- that is a lot of eggs. I just wanted to share with you that I had the exact same number of eggs - 17. We ended up with 5 frozen from that cycle and I'm now 21 weeks pregnant with my 2nd little miracle - both fets. So you've made an amazing start that will hopefully give you you wish! Good luck and rest up xxxxxx
