Day 5 Stims: Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day 2021

Sunday, February 14

Valentine’s Day! I woke up dizzy and bloated, but I enjoyed my day out. However, by the end of the evening, I felt like I was dying. I almost passed out even though I was sitting in bed. I felt like I couldn’t fully catch my breath sometimes. I wasn’t sure if it was anxiety, OHSS, or a delayed reaction to one of my meds. I’ve had that happen before, especially with antibiotics.  Luckily this is my last day with them.  I was feeling so full and heavy; it became hard to use my stomach muscles to sit up, and bending over to do the laundry was a definite no-go! I can’t imagine feeling like this for another week or it getting worse. My bowels are also starting to slow down.  I was sure I wasn’t going to have this problem since I’ve been eating high fiber foods and was super regular up until now. 

It’s also exactly a month since we’ve started this journey! Time is going by fast now.
