Uh, I hope I don't run out of good luck because I don't seem to have a lot of it... until this week. It makes me kind of nervous.
We got a call from the fertility clinic at 1:35. The nurse asked how I was doing and I said replied, "great" and she laughed and said that I was going to be doing even better because the embryologist just emailed Dr. Hotness to say they'd like to move me to a day 5 transfer. I have 12 embryos still dividing and 11 of those are GRADE ONE!! Crazy! Again, I don't want to get too excited because I still need to get to the day of transfer and have happy healthy little blastocysts. Then they need to stick to my uterus. Then I need to get a BFP!! Then I need to make it to the ultrasound and see all the important things you expect to see when you look at your tiny little growing baby for the first time. Then I need to get past week 12 and then I might start to relax. Around the time I start to show I really chill out. So, it'll be a good while before I truly believe things are ok and actually going well. But, so far so good. Right?
On the OHSS front, I'm feeling better. Thank you Gatorade!! It seriously has made me feel sooooo much better! The pressure inside of my body has gone down and I no longer look pregnant. The bloating was awful, my belly was so distended that it was painful. I could have gotten stretch marks. I should have been rubbing myself down with cocoa butter. I love it. Gatorade is the shit!!
Aislinn is feeling better too. She slept with us last night because around 9:30 her temp was almost 103 while on infant tylenol! She was on fire. I decided not to worry about catching it because I'm on doxycycline which is an antibiotic anyway so hopefully all is fine. We've been checking her temperature every 4 hours and by 2 pm her fever was gone. She back to her old self running around playing and eating. Yay! Now, hopefully she'll go to sleep in her room tonight. If not that's fine too, she's leaving to stay with Grandma and Pa for a few days soon. Monday night she leaves so that I can get a few days of rest after the transfer. I'm going to miss her but I'm looking forward to a few days of playing Sims 3, eating and sleeping whenever I want.
