Oversharing

This post is definitely TMI. I've debated even posting it but I would like to look back if I do in fact get pregnant and remember this journey.

As of yesterday, I hadn't gone to the restroom in 5 days, the night before my egg retrieval. The day prior I had talked to my IVF nurse and she said that I had to go before my embryo transfer and suggested that I try Metamucil and if that doesn't work, then go for the milk of magnesia. Well needless to say, none of those worked.  I was feeling like a whale for some time and had put on around 6lbs as of yesterday afternoon. Jay took me to go the see The Help and I almost walked out in the middle of it, I was in sooo much pain. On the way home from the movie we decided to go to urgent care because I looked like I was 6 months pregnant and walking waddling to the car.

The poor PA at urgent care did everything she could not to laugh. I mean it was a funny situation and I kept telling her this has never happened to me before and I just didn't know what to do! She told me to take some over the counter stuff and up the dosage as well as gave me a pill to help with the cramping.  I really felt like a trooper last night. I was chugging gatorade, freezing then sweating, and my whole body was shaking. On top of that I had to have another progesterone shot in my butt. I HATE shots. After an absolutely terrible night last night, I woke up this morning and felt MUCH better. The scale looked much better too :) I REALLY want this baby! And I guess I'm learning that as a mom you do anything for your child.
