OH MAN, MY BOOBS HURT SO  BAD!!!!

I hope today is my last day of stims. 

Once again, I had to peel myself out of bed so that I can do my shots. No matter how long I sleep, it just feels like I haven’t slept in days. I’m pretty miserable at this point. I get small bursts of energy, but that’s it. The bloating and cramping were so bad and uncomfortable last night. Part of me was worried that I might have ovulated. But I did a lot of research and have found that that feeling is normal. Hopefully, I didn’t! I had so many twinges,  especially on my right side, so hopefully, that means my follicles on the right side are growing and catching up. It’s also kind of hard to explain, but there are times when my uterine area feels sensitive or weak, like how skin feels when it is bruised. Or like how it feels at the peak when you’re on a rollercoaster and going down a hill; that feeling when you’re stomach hits the height of the fall and starts tickling before it starts to come back down. Does that make sense? Probably only to me lol.

Today’s injections didn’t go that great. Once again I felt all of it, it wasn’t terrible, but also not fun! The Ovidrel needle didn’t fully penetrate my skin the first poke and bounced off. Wtf is that?! 😩🥴 For the first time, I bled on my right side.

I really really hope I’m ready to trigger tomorrow and have my retrieval on Monday. That was the original date (Monday, February 22) my Doctor anticipated, so fingers crossed.
