How could I have failed to mention that I gained 21 pounds between Wednesday and Saturday last week?! That was certainly the 'biggest' thing on my mind, I can't believe I didn't bring it up. Anyway, I went in for an ultra sound yesterday, and they made sure I wasn't retaining fluid around my kidneys or liver or spleen, and I am not. It's only really around my uterus and ovaries.
I am still on the Ganirelix shots to help with that, and I always notice a big difference about 3 hours after I take the shot. I have also been up no less than 5 times every night to use the bathroom.
This morning I weighed myself, and I am down 9 pounds from Saturday, so that means the grand total weight gain (I am assuming water weight) is still 12 pounds. I really don't understand how the salty diet is supposed to help with this problem, but I am sticking to it.
I forgot to start taking my Tetracycline after the retrieval. I was confused about what to do with my post-retrieval meds since the original instructions were given when we planned on doing the transfer right away. Duh, I should have known I would still need to take the antibiotics after the retrieval. I started them on Monday night.
Yesterday's blood work showed that my calcium level is low and I am to take 3000mg of calcium (Tums antacids) every day for the rest of the week. Yuck. Also, my H&H levels are low, but I don't really know what that means, what causes it, or what I should do about it.
I have nearly reached information overload, I think. I am starting to get things mixed up.
One more thing that showed up in my blood work yesterday, and surely this is a joke, is that my sodium level is low in spite of all the salt I am eating. You've got to be kidding me!

A low H&H level? I think that means you need to eat more Hershey's and Haribo products.
21 pounds is insane, although I did accomplish something similar on a recent vacation....
