Well I've had some ups and downs this time, my OH sperm was not as good as last time which is a shame as he has been trying so hard to improve it. Egg collection was on Wednesday which was excruciating managed to get 9 eggs. Luckily 7 have fertilized and we are now pushing onto blastocyst with a mixed bag of embies from 2 up to 6 splits. So transfer on Monday!!. I am high risk of ohss again so on lots of meds to help that, yesterday I was sick alot and spent most of the time asleep but at least not I have the whole weekend to recover before transfer.

That's a good number to be starting with - keep going little embryos!! Would you be able to do a freeze all to try to avoid OHSS? Either way, I wish you the best of luck!!

I'm going to discuss this tomorrow, I'm hoping all the meds I've been taking will have stopped or lowered the risk of ohss. I want to make sure I'm totally healthy before any embies are on board x

I ask because that's what I ended up doing. It really depends on the embryos so fingers crossed they keep developing well and that's an option for you if the ovaries don't calm down in time. I was disappointed at first not to be pushing on with getting pregnant but in the end I was glad to have that time to recover and get back to 100%. Hopefully you'll be able to dodge the OHSS though!!
