Waiting

So not much to report, after 4 weeks of busy excitement, shots, ultrasounds, bloodwork, etc now there is nothing to do! Since the egg transfer on Monday my main goal was just to feel somewhat normal again. I was so bloated and swollen from about Monday-Wednesday from my large ovaries & fluid that for Monday and Tuesday especially it was actually painful to breathe or move around. I felt full from my throat to my pelvis like everything was just swollen. I kept making up diseases that I am sure I had like toxic mega colon and other fun stuff. But now I am feeling more normal, I dont feel like running any time soon but I can bend over and touch my toes again!

Ok, enough complaining. In one more week I will do the blood test that hopefully shows defiantly one way or the other if the IVF worked. I am hoping for an HCG level around 100, anything above that would be super, below that would be a bit worrisome. No matter the level they will repeat it probably 2-4 days later to see the trend (hopefully rising). I dont "feel pregnant" but no one should at this point.

Not much else to report, its going to be a long 7 days.
