One day post retrieval I'm feeling pretty good. I'm still really bloated and have a bit of discomfort and tenderness downstairs but compared to what others have been through, I think I've come out of it all pretty well. I guess that's one good thing about being a low responder! I did have a fair bit of pain and discomfort yesterday after the painkillers wore off but nothing that couldn't be managed with a bit of panadol and some rest. And today I was well enough to go back to work feeling not much more than some slight twinges and aches from time to time. So I feel pretty lucky :)
On a more exciting note ... We are scheduled for our transfer tomorrow at 12.20pm! The nurse rang today to confirm the appointment and couldn't tell me how many fertilized or anything about how they're growing but I guess the fact that we're good to go for a transfer means at least one has fertilized and is doing something :) Fingers crossed nothing changes overnight. Scout is being pretty reserved and cautious about the whole thing at the moment ... probably to balance me out a bit as I am still just over the moon about getting to this point. Fortunately I haven't had too much time to over think things today as I've been flat out at work. But of course now that I'm home, our little embryo/s are on my mind. I can't help but feel a little excited and awe struck that part of my DNA is out there multiplying in a petrie dish right at this very moment! How amazing is that?! Let's just hope it keeps multiplying after it moves into it's new digs tomorrow :)

I'm glad you are not feeling as bad as I did, I thought I would never feel like myself again, best of luck for tomorrow, I know the feeling of the little embryos, part of you is in them, I think it is amazing, sometimes I think science is amazing and then I realize that human beings are amazing because we can do all that! (hormons taking over : )
