Ouch, that's just what crossed my mind, hope she is ok!!
You should get "a few" good ones out of that haul !!

[Chiefsgirl]

I keep asking them if she is ok and if they are worried about ohss but they said she was fine and they were monitoring her but she didn't have any issues.

Yep, it's a bit of a relief that we should get quite a few blasts out of that lot!

Do you get a day 3 report Chiefsgirl?

[Chiefsgirl]

No, no report today😞 but I'm sure there will be something to transfer on Saturday!

OMG Chiefsgirl! A tad late here but WTF?! 60 eggs and 40 matured?! WOW!!! Hope today's transfer went ok and we're all thinking of you.

Warned DH about the reading material at conceptions. LOL!!!!

29 were still going ok at d3. D5 today and two perfect blasts transferred, 11 in the freezer and they'll let me know how many make it to the freezer tww.

Note: they say bed rest day of transfer. stay in hotel the next day. No shower after transfer on transfer day, resting and no strenuous exercise after till bt, and hardest of all, no swimming!
@jackbenimble, did you swim after a few days? I was thinking a quick dip 4 or 5 days after transfer shd be ok?

Congratulations @Chiefsgirl, that's a heap of backups in the freezer so far ! No shower after transfer !?!?! Well now I finally know why my two didn't stick . That seems weird. Water can't travel uphill lol

[Chiefsgirl]

Another 7 made it to the freezer today so I have a total of 18 frozen and 2 transferred - I am in shock at 20 embryo's from one donation!

I reread jackbenimbles post which said she went swimming after a few days, so I think I might make a quick dip later in the week😝

Wow @Chiefsgirl ... what an egg haul! Unbelievable!

I followed all of Conceptions strict recommendations except for the swimming part. I did wait until the afternoon of the fourth day, on the basis that if they were going to implant they would have by then. The reason why they have the 'no swimming' rule is to prevent infection. However I was taking the antibiotics they prescribed, and I decided that swimming in the crystal clear salt water meant only a very low chance of infection. It was a small risk but I took it as I benefited from swimming during the two week wait. It was so relaxing.

It was interesting to read that some ivf clinics in the UK recommend swimming during the 2WW for relaxation and as the only form of exercise tolerated. And that is in a heated indoor chlorinated pool! I don't think I would do that.

I hope you are enjoying Hawaii... my fingers are crossed for you.
