'D' Day

So today is 'D' Day, surgery day, scary day.......well one of the scary days I guess. Feeling quite calm at the moment, however I know the closer and closer it gets the more nervous I will be. This will be my 4th surgery in 13 months at the same hospital, for the same reason 'infertility.' I know I never imagined having had surgery at all, let alone on 4 occassions, prior to my 28th birthday, like ever.........

I just keep thinking about when I wake up this afternoon I will have a number written on my hand, a number which will tell me a number of things:
1st: How many follices had eggs in them; and
2nd: How close I may be to OHSS...

With my first IVF stim cycle we had the number 15 written on my hand which ultimately resulted in OHSS, 2 FET blastie transfers, one that resulted in a pregnancy lost at 6.5 wks (embie had no heartbeat).

With my second IVF stim cycle we had the number 4 written on my hand which ultimately resulted in 3 crappy embie's - all badly fragmented and a Day 3 fresh transfer to try and clutch at straws. BFN.

I am hoping today for a number inbetween the two for the main reason - hopefully no OHSS.

If I see a number higher than 15 I am permitted to dwell in the land of misery for the next few days assuming the worst and that OHSS will develop....... If I see a number lower than 15 I may take comfort in that, fingers crossed, no OHSS and that hopefully one lil sucker is mean't to be and can be a Day 5 fresh transfer next Saturday.

I'd also like to say a quick hello to amaprincess for becoming a follower - we are very close to the same day of our cycles this time around. By my calcs today is your Day 13 and my Day 19. Good luck to you and I'll be following your blog!
