TMI

Not much has changed in the way I feel during this whole process. I occasionally have a small cramp-like pain in my belly, but not even as much as my normal menstral cramps. I was expecting to be bloated, and I am not. I was expecting to be irritable, and I am not. I don't think I am, that is.

The only thing I have finally noticed is that....you know how you "know" when you're ovulating every month? And that's when only one egg is being released. Well, imagine that times 10 (for the 10 eggs that are getting ready to release in me). That "symptom" you have that lets you know you're ovulating, I have that x10. Gross, I know, but it's the only real impact I have seen from the stimulation meds at all. I am amazed.

We did tonight's Follistim pen shot way in the upper thigh, almost to the crease in my leg, and a little bit on the inside of the thigh as opposed to the outside area. Note to self: bad place for a shot! It still hurts....almost like we hit a nerve or something. You know that shooting pain you get with a pinched nerve? Like that.

I've got another check-up tomorrow at the doctor's office. All my appointments are around 7:00 am - ugh! We're still tracking toward next Wednesday for the retrieval. I can't believe it's getting so close.
