The big BLOAT

Since the transfer, I've felt fine. I mean, I had some lingering cramping from the retrieval but other than that, I didn't feel too different. I figured that Dr. God did a good job with the stims, the trigger shot didn't put my large ovaries into a tailspin and I wasn't bloated at all. In all the reading that I did (online thus far) I learned a lot about ovarian hyperstimulation sydrome (OHSS) and that I would be bloated and uncomfortable and probably gain some weight if I had it
.

So, over the weekend I had some pizza, and some wings, and some other indulgences (hey Labor Day weekend!) However, It wasn't a binge or anything, even though I started feeling bloated. I immediately assumed I overate and the lapse from the gym was now catching up to me. Last night, which is seven days past transfer (7dp3dt for those in the know) I was noticeably bloated and feeling pretty gross. I did what I always do and consulted Dr. Google. I read about late onset OHSS, which occurs when the HCG is secreted by the embryo once implantation occurs and the ovaries and follicles react to that. I'm not sure how I made it past the shot and have to deal with the actual hormone but if you are following me, I basically read that implantation actually happened.
I shared that with the d-man. We were both going to ask about it at Dr. God's this morning. Turns out, I didn't even need to. I had an ultrasound after telling him I felt bloated. He took a quick look and was like "oh yeah, very full." My ovaries are baseballs. There is also fluid in there. Dr. God actually said I was pregnant, a full week before my blood test! He verified what I had read online and I am feeling it still, let me tell you. I believe him. I am waiting for the blood test, of course, though I will probably pee on a stick before then, but this is more of a sign than any sore boob could ever be.

Now I wait and see. If I have a multiple pregnancy, it will be even worse. I don't know how bad it can get and I am pretty nervous about it. He said eat a lot of protein, drink fluids and rest and watch my weight. It's crazy, I mean this is good, and yet I have to NOW deal with THIS shit! Normal pregnant people have no idea and no room to bitch. That may be mean, but come on!
I am cautiously optimistic....but pretty confident. The resting thing will be tough with work right now, but I am gonna keep going...
