Day 3 update

Today is day 3 and things seem to be going well.

Eight of the embryos are 8 cell which is just where they  need to be.  The other four are 4 cells so I'm not sure if they are going to catch up.  Regardless, I am ecstatic to have eight good ones right now!  If they keep it up, we will have 2 for transfer and 6 for freeze!

They are concerned about OHSS because of the high amounts of drugs that I was on.  So now I'm scared!  My tummy is huge already.  I look like I'm 5 months pregnant.  But I'm not having any shortness of breath or anything.  My roommate just put batteries in my scale so I can weigh myself daily.  My bff/embryologist is going to be on vacation this weekend and the doctor said that if OHSS happens it will be around this weekend if the embryo implants.  So I have been given a very stern lecture about calling the office if anything seems wrong instead of just thinking that I'm a wimp and need to tough it out.

I tried to sleep in my bed last night instead of the recliner and it wasn't a good idea.  I like to sleep on my side and every time I tried to be on my side my ovaries hurt so bad.  So I had to sleep on my back and now my back hurts.  So I think I will be back in the recliner tonight.
