Deezy: Yay for transfer! Less than 2 days :)
In case anyone missed my journal... I'm knocked up!! My beta was 325, and I can't even believe it!
Good luck tomorrow, MRS, KD, and Lil. Keep us posted on your betas and transfers. I'm praying for GREAT updates!
Lil: I have BW today too! It's my 2nd beta. Today is your 3rd? Good luck, I hope your numbers are so high you pass out with excitement! :)
Deezy: I hope your transfer is amazing! Happy PUPO x2 today!! I love all the multiples going on in here. It's such a big F-you to infertility!
Thanks, Hines! I feel good about today, but I'm panicked at the same time. Few more hours and I should get the call.
So back to poop talk.... (I have no shame) I got woken up again last night with such horrible pain that I could barley stand up. It was diarrhea and not a lot of it, but holy shit it hurt! I actually had to put towels under my feet so that I could stay curled up in a ball while sitting. It passed, and eating ice seemed to help. What the hell is going on? Stuff is moving. Not as much as it should, but I'm not sure why this pain is so bad and always in the middle of the night. I did forget to take my two nighttime fiber gummies both times, but I did take them both mornings. Am I really just that sensitive right now? Is it high progesterone? Will it go away soon? It's scaring me. A lot. And, the hubby.
As for us, our doctor appointment was rescheduled to Monday at 3. I was not to happy to hear about that but honestly, there really isn't much I can do right now anyways. So now we wait again. I'm telling you patience is really going to be my strong point.
Transfer went off without a hitch. I am 0dp5dtx2! Peanut Butter and Jelly are beautiful and perfect and I've already asked them about 100 times to stick around. I had a great acupuncture session right after the transfer and besides some teeny teeny tiny mild cramps, I am feeling good. 11 days to beta!
Deezy: They have to be sticky since you named them PB&J. Both very sticky! Maybe I'll have a PB&J for dinner tonight in honor of your PUPO.
I got my 2nd beta back and it's at 683, so more than doubled. Now I wait another week for #3. I still feel very hopeful that all will continue to go well, but I'm still a grumpy wreck because I worry. :)
Lil: Any news yet?
Awesome news all around from MRS, KD, and Lil ,,, except MRS's diarrhea. I experienced something similar after my second retrieval. No diarrhea, but the bathroom floor was my friend for about an hour. You might check with your RE if this continues ...
Anybody experiencing extreme fullness? Balancing that, nausea, and the monster in my stomach so that I can get the extra calories I need (900?!) is making me very grumpy.
Hines: sorry for the grump. I can imagine that carrying 3 will make symptoms come on sooner and quicker. How far along are you now? Mine are bearable and minor right now. I had a couple days of extreme fatigue, and a couple days of not wanting to eat. My acupuncturist said to just eat anything to get calories. I've been making myself eat fruits and veggies and hating every second of it (I usually eat lots of good stuff, so it's not my norm). Eating crappy food, especially now, is hard. But his advice was good. I'm feeling better eating crap. Who knew!?
So apparently my butt loves ice. I felt the pain coming on last night again 2 different times, and I ate an ice cube and the pain went away. Weird. I also drank about a gallon of water during the day to help. My stomach is so high maintenance! I guess this is still from the retrieval, because that's when it started. I'm sure all the meds I'm on isn't helping. I read I may have to eat yogurt. YUCK! Of all the things I've done for IVF, yogurt is my hangup. I'm nuts.
I am still really happy for all of you!! I'm pulling for each and every one of you!
