Uncomfortable and twitchy waiting
The other day I said to a cycle buddy that if as far as I knew OHSS would show up within a few days of retrieval, if it was going to happen.
Oh so ironic.
No, I’m not in the hospital or at the doctor’s office or anything. I am just NOT comfortable. The past two days at work I have been walking very, very tenderly, a little hunched over, wincing whenever I jarred my stomach. SORE. Very very sore. Like a have two large, inflated balloons in there.
I scanned back through my notes from last cycle and this is apparently lasting a little longer than last time. In one way that’s surprizing, because, you know, the major overstim last time. But on the other hand it kind of makes sense, since last time he had me trigger with ovidrel, which has a much shorter half-life than the novarel I used this time.
I think I am feeling a little bit better… maybe this is on its way to being over with. Today is one week since transfer, so that timeline is pretty normal… if it goes away now.

The good news is that I only have a week to wait.
The bad news is that I have a week to wait.
I have the urge to pee on something, even though there is NO way anything would show up right now. It’s just this itchy need in the back of my brain. Must. Pee. On. Stick.
I feel so good about this cycle – I mean, everything has gone so so well. But I’m still so scared… nothing is a guarantee.
There is apparently a pregnancy surge all over. This time I want to be a part of it.
I want you to be a part of the pregnancy surge too! *bites nails*
Maybe Shooting Star is implanting and making him/herself a home… :)
“I have the urge to pee on something”
ROFL. That sent my mind to the wrong place…
And don’t forget that pregnancy produces HCG and also can trigger OHSS. For me, that was the first “sign” that I was pregnant (at 4dp5dt). So the OHSS may get worse before it gets better … but I never was so happy to be sore and bloated (my OHSS was mild), that’s for sure. I’ve got everything crossed for you, my dear.
What Michelle said. When I was pg on our last IVF cycle, I felt pretty good post-retrieval, and then started feeling crappy again in my 2ww. That was my first pregnancy “sign” too.
You have no idea how much my fingers are crossed for you, hon.
Thinking of you.
