I guess this never got posted in April when I wrote it… so I am posting it now… Thank God things have changed since April.
Yesterday I was up at the ungodly hour of 5:30 am to go cook at my mother-in-law’s school for their Secretary’s Day Lunch. I spent half the day before cooking and shopping and getting ready, so it was really like one full day of work – I was home by 1:45 in the afternoon and had time to get the house straightend up and cleaned a bit before I want to just lay around this weekend. I didn’t have time to do yoga or go for a walk yesterday, but I did every other day this week, and hopefully I’ll have time to do yoga this afternoon and go for a walk tomorrow morning before retreival.
Then last night was my trigger shot – at 1:00 in the morning. Of course, after you have a 1 1/2-inch needle stuck in your ass at one in the morning, it is hard to go back to sleep. So, I am not running on a whole lot of sleep right now. Once the light comes in and Mike is up and around in the morning, I have a hard time staying asleep, so I might as well get up and get on with my day.
I discovered this morning that there is a tiny bit of the medicine left in the bottle from the trigger shot. Hopefully that little bit won’t make a difference…
Today I am cooking for my mother-in-law, part 2 of her Christmas gift-certificate. We’ll stay out there for dinner this evening and probably play a game or two. By the time I get home to bed I’ll be ready to collapse I bet. Maybe I can even sleep in. I am not allowed anything to eat or drink before the retreival tomorrow, so the longer I can stay asleep the better. Retrieval isn’t until 1:00 pm – that is a long time for me to go without food or water. Last time I had to keep reminding myself as I sat thinking about what I wanted for breakfast, lunch, etc.
I am definitely feeling my ovaries more this time. It isn’t pain or discomfort, just twinges that something is going on in there. I am feeling it more on the left side, where the follicles were bigger according to Tuesday’s ultrasound. But a little bit on the right hand side too. Hopefully that’s a good sign.
I have lots of trash TV on the DVR all stored up and waiting for this weekend. It would be nice if I am not in so much pain this time, but I doubt that will be the case. So I have made us some food to put in the fridge for the weekend and stocked up on TV shows that I want to watch and am planning on not leaving the couch very much until Sunday, when I anticipate feeling better. If we go with a 3-day transfer like last time, that will happen sometime Monday. I already postponed my Monday client until Tuesday and am cooking T
