2-Day Report

Thanks for all the well wishes. I really appreciate it.

I got a call today saying that it looks as though all 8 are still growing good. I am tentatively scheduled for ET tomorrow at 2:00 but they will most likely push to 5DT and someone will call me in the morning to confirm a time for Wednesday.

I am staying in bed today. I think I over did it yesterday. We went to the movies then my cousin called to tell me she was in town so we went and picked her up and I just did way too much moving yesterday so I'm very sore. I was trying not to tell her I had surgery but she kept making comments about how I was moving so I finally said I had surgery yesterday. She asked for what and I tried to think of the easiest and quickest way to say and cut the conversation. So I said, DH and I have been trying for over 5 years to have a baby, we've done four IVF's to try to have a baby and we're in the midst of another IVF. She then says oh it will happen just don't try so hard. Ugghhh I HATE HATE HATE when people say this not knowing what is really going on. So I said its not that simple for us as we have a lot of other issues that we are dealing with. Then she says oh the Endo well you know I have that and I have two kids maybe you're just trying too hard. By this time I'm irritated with the conversation and said this is the reason right here that we don't tell anyone what we're doing because people don't understand and always want to offer information that is not helpful to our situations. We've been at this for a while, lost two babies along the way and its not as simple as just not trying so hard. So this is why no one knows and I would appreciate it if you keep this between you and I because no one else knows and I don't want them to know. She says okay and finally drops it. Thank God! UgghhH! I already didn't feel like being bothered yesterday but felt the need to entertain since she called and said we are in town and I want to see you before we go. But needless to say I was so ready to take them back to where we picked them up from.

On the OHSS front, still taking down my fluids. I was distracted yesterday so I didn't drink the way I was supposed to so I'm playing catch up today. My weight is staying around the same weight and actually down one pound today which is great. I'm supposed to weigh myself 5 times a day to watch for an increase of 5lbs in one day which is a sign that fluid is building up and severe OHSS is forming and you must call the doc immediately.

But other than the soreness I'm doing pretty good....so glad that its looking like a 5DT. The extra days will give my body time to get back right before transfer.
