The 4 day weekend was NOT enough! I woke up very early everyday besides yesterday because of pain or uncomfortableness so now that I feel better I want to go home and sleep. Tomorrow is our embryo transfer!! YIKES! I will actually have 2 little babies in there. I am very nervous, not about the procedure as I hear that I have already been through the painful part (egg retreival), but because of being so close to the end. I know I wrote about this but its been on my mind. I just hope it works... God, I hope it works. I hear that the babies will implant within 24-36 hours when doing a 5 day transfer. So that mean all I would have to wait to do a home pregnancy test would be about 7-8 days after tomorrow. That scares me!!! I don't think I ever want to test! I just want to pretend my babies are in there forever. :( I can't imagine getting AF after a negative IVF cycle. That sucks! As being negative wasn't enough!!!
I have to keep my head up and just be positive though or else my stomach will turn into knots and I will worry.
So my progesterone shots have been good. I was terrified of the needle when I saw them as they are much bigger than my lupron or stims' needles. The PIO (progesterone in oil) shots are intramuscular so that was also scary. The needle must go in all the way (1 1/2 inches) and then the plunger is hard to push in since its so thick. But so far so good. Aaron bought me a heating pad that I am using for my belly/ovaries and it also works good for after my PIO shot. I ice first with ice pack until I am numb, then I use the heating pad. I have no marks or welts so that means it must be working.
My ovaries aren't hurting as much. I have been able to do more around the house but I am still taking it very easy. I do feel some pressure when I have to pee still but not as bad. I can actually sleep on my belly again so that means improvement. I still am very bloated as all my pants are feeling tight around my waist but it seems to be getting better. I have been drinking water and gatorade too to try to prevent OHSS.
Tomorrow I will have the whole day off as I want to go home and lay on the couch. I just want those little babies to feel the cushiony lining and stick! Make it a home... for 9 months!!!
