Cramping My Style

My ovaries are pretty sore and so is my lower back. I just can't seem to find comfort! Per the ultrasound today all my eggs are about and 11/12. The Doc will retrieve them when they are between an 18-20. I have eight eggs and they are just cramping my style...pun intended! I will go in again tomorrow for another ultrasound and we will have a better idea of when the egg retrieval will be. I was so nervous about the egg retrieval but now...BRING IT ON! I can't wait to be knocked out and to wake up with empty ovaries.

Day 3 of Stims

Last night was my third shot of stims and I am definitely feeling the side effects. It seems to worsen in the afternoon/evenings. I get very bad headaches and some nausea. Last night my nausea woke me up but I took a Benedryl and that knocked me out! My husband has been fantastic and is always showing concern. He is being very gentle with my emotions and is just letting me do my thing. He rubs my back and offers to get me whatever I want. I got myself a good man and he will make morning sickness much more tolerable...I am sure. I have had some mild cramping on and off throughout the days and an increase in cervical mucus. My doctor said this is normal. My appetite has decreased a bit but I think thats due to the fact that I am nauseated often and have headaches. I am drinking massive amounts of water and coconut water and that is keeping me hydrated which is helping. I do have to pee constantly though and wake up about 3 times during the night to do so.
A little advise for the people starting stims: Ice your stomach before the shots and after. It makes a world of a difference!
