Aww... Well, that's disappointing, but August will be here before you know it. Better hyperstimulated that hypostimulated, right?

Hang in there! Definitely keep us posted!

For those still interested (if there are any), I thought I'd give a quick update. The OHSS has finally cleared. Boy was that a pain. But at least I got to be home for 2 weeks AF has come and gone. And now I'm on to my transfer cycle. I'm taking a not so fun estrogen pill (Estrace) to build up my lining. I have an u/s on Aug. 4 to check things. And transfer will probably be Aug. 7. We have 15 frozen embryos. So we have a lot to work with. We'll put 2 back this time. Hopefully they'll survive the thaw ok and one of them will stick. We'd be just as happy if both stuck, but ideally we'd like just one My pg test will probably be around Aug. 14. Less than 3 weeks until I find out if I'm pg! Kind of crazy to think about when I know there is nothing going on right now and we don't have to "try." We've already done the hard stuff. Now we just do some major praying that one of the embies hangs on. I'll update more when it's time for transfer.

I know there are several of us interested, so definitely keep posting updates!

Good luck building a nice, sticky lining for your embies! did the doctor ever comment on the quality of them?

I don't have any specific numbers about quality. They froze 10 of them at day 2, so they don't know too much about those. They let the other 5 get to day 5. Those were the best 2 and the worst 3. So, if the "worst" 3 made it to day 5 I have high hopes for all of my embies! For the frozen transfer they will thaw a couple of the day 2 embies and let them grow for a day or 2. If they're not looking good they'll thaw a couple of day 5 embies so we can still do transfer on time. But hopefully the first ones out of the freezer will look good and at least one of them will stick! Right now I'm in the dreaded waiting process. It's torture. Always wondering...it could be soon...or it could not be. But I'm trying to stay positive. No reason that we know of for it not to work I just have to manage my junky hormone pills. The estrogen is making me sooooo tired. And it gives me headaches. And I'll be adding progesterone shots probably next weekend. Can't wait to start those again :P I have to prepare myself for a sore bum.

It's done We transferred 2 good embryos yesterday!! Now I'm in the 2ww (although it's not really that long for me). I just have to act as if I were pg (not eat the wrong foods, etc.) and take it easy. My pg test is next Friday (8/17). 1w1d until I know!! I'll update after that. Hopefully with good news. Say a prayer for the embryo(s) to stick!!
