Today was a pretty hairy day as far as my concentration level goes. I don’t think I’ve ever had to error correct that many things at the bank!<\/p>\n
I felt a little bloated and tender, same as yesterday. Which is to say, not much. Monday was worse.<\/p>\n
But then I came home… and I ate dinner. And for whatever stupid ass reason, I decided to have brie cheese on crackers, with milk, and then follow that up with a lovely desert of gummie bears. Let me tell you, NOT A GREAT COMBO. Especially when you’re stuck burping it up for the next several hours.<\/p>\n
I’m starting to think it’s the milk. I’ve felt pretty good since I stopped drinking straight milk, instead choosing to drink only water. And when I drink alchohol (and thereby get sick) it’s always a mix with milk or cream. So I’m wondering…<\/p>\n
Other than the stomachache that has me burping and my intestines gurgling nastily, I feel fine. Ovaries tender? Sure. Swollen? Sure, I look a little pregnant – can’t suck it in anymore. I’d say that’s pretty normal… or maybe quite mild considering how swollen with follicles my ovaries are.<\/p>\n
I’m excited for tomorrow, but at the same time I’m not really wracked with nerves. And I don’t know why. Shouldn’t I feel giddy? Anxious? Anything? I guess I just know exactly what to expect from the procedure. What I remember of my past retrievals are the following: painful IV tries; warm blankets; comfy bed; excitement; oxygen mask; being pleasantly loopy for hours; waking up to the news of a good number of eggs. Other than the IV it’s all pretty positive.<\/p>\n
The part that I’m very unsure about is fertilization. I just don’t know what to expect. It could just as easily be zero embryos or 4. I just don’t know. Friday will probably be a very nervy day, waiting for the phone call. And yes, I’m going to be at work. That will be fun.<\/p>\n
I’ll have my phone with me tomorrow to update when I can… or when I get home, though I do intend to pass out cold when I crawl into bed. (I’m always very sleepy after anesthesia.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
