This may turn out to be nothing, but yesterday and today I have felt extreme bitchiness at various points during the day. A sure fire sign of PMS, but maybe its to early for that.
Also, in a PIO rage last night (these shots are really killing me - I never had to take them before) I made my DH stick himself with an empty needle to be able to commiserate with me and understand the pain I'm in. He thought it wasn't that bad - I wanted to slap him. Bitchiness? YES!
Does anyone know if you can do serious damage with these shots? Friday nights shot was done by DH (who I thought did it to hard) and I spent the rest of the weekend in pain on that side. I did my own shot Saturday night and it didn't hurt so much. Maybe he hit a nerve or something? I worry that we're doing these in the wrong location.

Bummer - no frosties
Morning -
Well I had hoped that some of my leftover embies would survive to be frozen, but alas it was not meant to be. This is par for the course as now all three of my cycles have only produced 2 embies good enough for transfer.
I'm bummed out, but hoping that the two transferred this time will take. Only time will tell - I get my results next Tuesday (3/2).

Muffins on Transfer Day
I had my ET yesterday (Friday) and all went really well. My RE implanted two really nice 8-cell embies (grade 4)! The other 5 embies aren't faring so well, but we'll wait to hear if any can be frozen. Fingers crossed some will pull through!
So far, every part of this cycle has gone better than expected. I can't say enough of my RE (Dr. Akas Jain) and the nurses at my clinic. My RE is a young guy and I feel like he really "gets it". After transfer yesterday he sat with my husband and I in recovery for 45 minutes just chatting. I don't think I've ever spent so much time with a Dr in my life!
Differences between this transfer and prior transfers were:
The procedure room was very warm - 85 degrees
No getting up to pee afterwards - they used a catheter (what relief!!)
I laid down for an hour after transfer before I was discharged
I mention muffins because I brought the nurses some apple cinnamon Fiber One muffins (delish!).
I'm taking it easy for the rest of the weekend. Hopefully these two embies are in the process of snuggling on down.
(My DH has already nicknamed the embies "Walker" and "Texas Ranger" after Talledega Nights)

Fertilization Report
Another update - out of the 9, we had 7 fertilize. This is great news!
Now I wait until Friday to find out about the quality and if I need a day 3 or 5 transfer. Since Friday would be my day 3, they'll call me before 9AM with the results.
So far, I've had really great results as compared to previous attempts. Maybe this is a good sign!

Post ER Update
Morning -
I was offline yesterday and had no interest in getting near a computer on my day off! The good news is that ER went well, and they retrieved 9 eggs! This was totally amazing only because we were only expecting 4 to maybe 7 tops. The staff at my place was great and I've already decided to make some blueberry muffins for when I go in for ET.
Now I'm just waiting for the fert report. Fingers crossed we have at least 1 fertilized!

Tomorrow is it
So ER is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'm praying that my follies are fantastic this time and will all contain eggs and will all fertilize. (Wishful thinking).
I took my trigger at about 10PM last night and will have my procedure done around 8AM tomorrow. As of yesterday my biggest follie was just about 24mm and drops to around 11mm to the 7th smallest one. The nurses guess I'll have anywhere from 4-7 to work with - let's pray for closer to 7!
That's all from here - I'm waiting for the anesthesiologist to call today and I'm ready and raring to go.

Almost There!
I have to take meds again tonight, but I have a feeling tomorrow will be it. Still averaging about 12 follies on my left side, but only about 6-7 are real contenders.
The top two are both 15mm, there are two 14's and then they go down to about 10 once you get to the sixth or seventh largest.
I'm thinking Monday will be my ER. Let's pray these are some serious quality follies who want to mate up with some spermy-sperm!
