I wouldn’t really call it pain. It’s more like… serious discomfort. I am moving very slowly at work – today I spent the entire 4 hours just wishing I could go home. So glad I don’t have to go back to that job until wednesday! Getting up off my seat every few minutes was bothering my ovaries. I didn’t realize how much I get up and down until yesterday. Hitting bumps in my car, also not so fun. I think it’s anytime I clench my stomach muscles… it squeezes my ovaries and they shriek in outrage. I like to just lay back and relax… then they’re fine.

I am also still very bloated. My pants – which have been very loose on me for weeks – are quite snug. I am very fond of my sweats right now. I’m tempted to pull out my maternity sweats, but I know they wouldn’t fit me at all right now, since I lost a good bit of weight since then.

The good news is that I still don’t have any further symptoms of OHSS, so yay. Also I read back to the time after retrieval of my first IVF cycle, and it seems that I had the same reaction then. That time it went away the day after transfer, so hopefully this follows suit.

I’m so looking forward to tomorrow. I wish my clinic had the capability of photographing the little embryo, but I’m happy just to hear how good they’re doing. Tomorrow I will have a little embryo in me!
