Pretty sure my ovaries are going to explode and kill me :)

Sweet Jesus! I took what I pray to the Lord up above is my last Follistim and low dose HCG shots today. I look 5 months pregnant - now mind you, I always have a hefty belly from the weight gain (STUPID FERTILITY MEDS AND LAZINESS!) and stretching from my DD. Its just where I carry my weight but sweet JESUS! My ovaries are so heavy AND swollen. ugh! USUK said something the other day and it fits perfectly. Remember the poor pitiful tree in Charlie Browns christmas special, when they put the ornament on it and it droops wayyyyy down - yep - that my friends, is my ovaries... I am so gassy (sorry TMI) and bloated I feel like my lower abdomen (if I had abs that is :) is going to fall out along with my guts. Ugh - sorry for the visual :) I am just miserable and feel like poo. Ok, I am done...

Ok - I calmed down a little tiny teeny bit. She could get me in @ 4pm so I only have to leave 30 mins early. Better than 10:30 in the middle of the school day!

OMG - I wanna slap someone. E2 levels are good @ 2805 but they want me to come in again TOMORROW. I just forked over all that money today and now they want me back 24 hours later? I CAN'T FREAKING AFFORD THAT!!!! And I can't take any more days off of work because they have nothing until 10:30am - I CAN'T DO THAT!! I am so pissed right now. SOOOOO PISSED! PEOPLE HAVE CAREERS AND RESPONSIBLITIES!!!! The eggies were borderline 16 - THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GO TO 20 BY TOMORROW FOR GODS SAKE!!! Saturday is not UNREASONABLE! The nurse even said the doc doesn't like to trigger until 17-18 - AHHHHHHH I AM SOOOOOO MAD!!! I look like a DAMN flake always having to leave early and come in late etc....UGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I wonder if they grow slower when there are more?????  I had this issue this month.  Last month only one dominant and it grew fairly fast.  This month I had 3 dominant and they were so slowwww!!  Follies are weird and unpredictable!  Best of luck - I hope those 2 keep chugging along!!

[scienceteacher79]

annnnnnnnnd of course my eggs have slowed down and now I will probably have two more days of meds and u/s abd b/w on Saturday and then have to take off of work on Monday and have the IUI done...the eggs were just cruising right along and now seemed to have slowed a bit. I think I had 3 ALMOST at 16 (I mean CLOSE - 15.9,15.7 etc) and one slightly smaller. Can't even remember anymore. My nurse will call and tell me later my E2 and follicle count. So, maybe two more days of meds (UGH!) and then trigger? Who knows...Wish I did. :( I know I am supposed to be happy - just annoying sometimes to be cruising along and they are growing like weeds and then BAM barely 2mm in two days. I didn't change the meds - they stayed the same. ugghhhhhh - just so frustrated with that and work! *%&^$#*(@&#)

I felt the same way with my last medicated cycle. My doc told me that I was almost overstimulated and that is why they felt that way. I hope yours works for you!

Thanks Helen!

I am glad your ovaries are working full time and overtime this cycle.  SSBD!!!!

oooohhhh - good idea on the socks. Darn! I don't have any halloween ones! POO!

Another plus tomorrow - hubby is going with me! I talked him into it! I said "You have got to see this $hit!" I can't wait to see his eyes when they see those BIG ol' follies - going to get some sympathy tomorrow!! YES!!

i'm telling you. it's gonna hurt when the pop too. it's gonna be like bocce ball in there.

you just reminded of a halloween joke. "why couldn't the witch get pregnant?" "because her husband had a hollow weenie" LOL.

good luck. happy iui. does hallmark make cards for that? you should wear funky halloween socks and make the dr. laugh.

Oh man, I'm sorry you're feeling so uncomfortable...I can totally relate, though...that's how I felt when I was on the injectables for my IVF! But hey, once you get your BFP it'll all be worth it ;-)

Best of luck tomorrow!!!

I just read your post and wanted you to know I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND!!  We went thru IVF 3 months ago and the couple of nights before my egg retireval-OMG-I thought I was going to die.  When I would sit down I could actually feel them giggling around.  So uncomfortable.  Hang in there...hpefully it will all be worth it!

[scienceteacher79]

Oh and I go for my (PLEASE LORD!!!) last u/s and b/w tomorrow (AT LEAST I HOPE THE LAST). Hopefully IUI on halloween!!! I love Halloween! Hosting a party that night. I can go as a mean, fat, pregnancy-wanting woman on fertility treatments...awesome! Ugh - think I am going to explode...
