2/3/2017 0 Comments IVF ESSENTIALS (REvised).Oh boy, am I ever sick of IVF. I'm on Day 7 of stims and let me tell you, it does not get better. The side effects are really happening now. Bloating, tiredness, emotions, it's all happening. Today I went for an ultrasound and bloodwork and despite having an appointment for Sunday, they've moved it up to tomorrow (Saturday) instead. I am READYYY for this to be over. Those shots are not my favourite. So, as shit gets real(er), I have a revised list for an IVF care package now that I know a little bit more.
Everything else is subjective, I didn't really need anything else. A good TV show (Life in Pieces is my Netflix comedy pick) for after you do the shots is important. I find that if I eat a big dinner, I get a stomachache. I don't normally eat sugar and I ate ice cream last night after the shots and had some nasty stomach cramps. So I'd just keep the food around injection time light. After my injections, J makes me a peppermint tea. Tonight I feel like the tea is going to start spurting out of my injection sites! Hopefully tomorrow they'll be able to tell me my egg retrieval date and I will know the end to my stint as a human pincushion.
