ER and ET Questions

I am on my 2nd try at IVF this month--the first time (2 mos ago), I didn't make it to retrieval b/c I overstimulated....can you let me know what to expect as far as the ER and ET? Does it hurt? Do you remember it? Are you zonked out? Does it hurt "down there"? Do the butt shots really hurt? I have a lot of questions and am super nervous b/c that's the part I haven't been through...any insight on this is much appreciated!

This is also my 2nd IVF cycle. ER wasn't bad for me, had some bad cramps after but they gave me Tylenol 3 once I started to feel them and I was fine. I also had a script for Vicodin which I took a half of one every so often. I was back to work the next day. ET was a breeze the worst part was drinking all the water...lol
My ET will be sometime the week of December 17th. Good Luck, you'll be fine. :)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
