First Day of Work
My first day back to work was today. I did take it easy with the lifting, lifting no more than about 15 to 20 lbs… but even so by the end of my day I was feeling the strain in my stomach muscles and my incisions were starting to irritate me. I took lots of breaks. And I got people to do the few heavy lifting things that needed to get done, I was a good girl.
The little white strips they put on my lower incisions are starting to come off. I trimmed the ends off so there’s less chance of them catching on something and getting ripped off… just want to let it all heal as gently as possible.
An aquaintance on a forum just got a BFN from her first IVF cycle. GREAT response, great fertilization, two blasts… no pregnancy. Just bad luck, the doctor said. Started to make me worry. What if we don’t get pregnant our first IVF? What the hell are we going to do? I really don’t want to think about that until I have to.
I also get wrapped up in the “what ifs” and “how will I handle X.” I think the challenge is to try to take one thing at a time. I am terrible at this (!) but I think it is the only way to survive!
Hi! Came over to you from the new emoblopedia=) We are headed towards our first IUI (no clomid this time) at the end of this week-hopefully! It really helped to read through your story, and I’ll be checking back to see how IVF goes! Best of luck=) Hope you are feeling better soon!
