Monkey See, Monkey Do...

Yesterday I had my first monitoring ultrasound with Dr. Bird.  I already felt like someone was slowly blowing up two balloons in my abdomen so the added pressure of the ultrasound didn't help.  I now fully understand the reason for an empty bladder prior to these visits!  Each ovary had multiple follicles and all were still small.  My lab work showed a good Estradiol level and Dr. Donesky told me to keep my shots the same.  I know I'll make it through this process but all I can think is how am I going to make it another week if these spaceships inside me keep getting bigger?

 

So I find myself making twice as many trips to the bathroom.  Apparently I can't hold my water like I used to!  I suddenly can't get enough chocolate.  My brain seems to be hovering in a constant state of fuzziness.  But no crying spells and I haven't locked myself out of the house while walking the dog yet, so it could be worse.

 

Tomorrow I do another ultrasound and recheck the lab levels.  And my dear hubby comes home from Florida tomorrow too!  I'm looking forward to a restful weekend in baggy pants ... hopefully that's what he wants to do this weekend too.
