Hi everyone, I don't know about you, but I have had the biggest rollercoaster of a weekend! I was so certain Friday that it was all over I'd gone from lightish brown spotting to thicker, darker plummy spotting, but I've been spotting on and off since then. It's been flipping between brown/nothing and more red-hued, but it's not yet got 'menstrual red', and it's been more sporadic and much lighter since the episode Friday evening. The cramping isn't at all like my normal menstrual cramping either and I haven't felt the way I did when I miscarried. All in all, the nurses at the ACU are still pretty encouraging and I'm still taking the pessaries just in case, but it's been emotional.
Happily that's brilliant! Wow, 5 for freezing. Well done you both!! How are you feeling today?
Shellster, I also was expecting to get 6 (that was the estimate when we went for our scan) but we got 11 in the end. There's heaps of growing time between now and the EC, so try to stay positive (and busy, 'relaxed' has never worked for me!).
Mini, good luck tomorrow!! Remember to have a super full bladder. I hadn't the first time they tried, so had to drink up while another couple went in. By the time the doctors were ready, I ran to the chair. Needing to pee really helped keep my mind off what was happening, haha!
Bluemonday, that's great, you're about a week after me then (I'm currently day 11 past ET). I'm first cycle, too. Have you seen this post? It's a really honest appraisal of what it's all like, and very reassuring about symptoms, etc.
Purple, I'm writing my PhD on heroic agency in spy fiction. That was the first draft of my FINAL CHAPTER! Whether this cycle works or not, the last few days will always be associated with making progress.
