Day 1 of the 2ww

I am feeling somewhat better than yesterday. I did have a heck of a time with breathing issues yesterday. I couldn't lay anywhere close to flat because I kept feeling like I had something heavy sitting on my chest and it was hard to breathe. I slept propped up on 3 pillows last night and I'm feeling better this morning breathing wise. I'm still hurting a lot in the ovary regions but better than yesterday. I can actually almost stand up straight now! BIG improvement! I still move at the speed of a snail but doing better. I had to come into work so I'm trying really hard not to be a big baby. I'm really bloated today and I gained 4-5 lbs since yesterday. Nick thinks maybe it's all the Gatorade I'm drinking (to try and ward of OHSS). I'll keep an eye on it since rapid weight gain is a symptom of OHSS.

We did our first PIO (progesterone in oil) shot last night. WOWSERS! Did that hurt! First Nick couldn't get the darn stuff to get sucked up into the syringe. Then it took FOREVER for it to get into my "buns of steel" ;-) . SO I'm researching today on how to make it better. Also, bringing my heating pad home with me since that is supposed to help if you put it on the injection site (your butt!) after the shot. My butt seriously hurts today. Hopefully we find a less painful way of doing it because I am really hoping to be stuck on it for a few months (that would mean I'm preggo!!). LOL SO crossing our fingers this works the first time around because so far I'm not really enjoying this process at all.

Waiting on the call from the lab / RE's office for our fertilization report. Getting a little antsy and wish they would hurry. Will update after the call :-)
