CD8 - IVF day 6

More of the horrid cetrotide this morning. It actually wasn't as bad as it was yesterday, although the immediate itchyness and reddening of the skin still happened, I didn't have any hives like yesterday. Maybe me body is getting used to it.

I don't feel 'bloated' as such, but definitely increasing in size in the general abdominal region, heres my day 6 ever-increasing-belly. Theres a nice bump in there where hopefully some lovely eggies are growing. Fingers crossed for the morning! (Excuse my underwear and unsightly thighs!)

My body is seriously geared up for ovulating like its never ovulated before! I have EWCM coming out of my ears and my cervix resembles the grand canyon - I was a bit paranoid yesterday that my sneaky eggs would escapes before we had chance to do ER, but these symptoms are apparently common the further into stimming you get due to increase in hormones, which makes perfect sense. My scientific brain needs to react before my panicked patients-going-through-IVF brain does. 

Tiredness well and truly setting in and I feel like I could get into bed around 6pm in the evenings - This morning I got up at 6am to complete the injections, did some work and responded to emails til around 8am and then doozed off until 11am! I'm also peeing more than anyone has ever peed before , which is great as lots of pee is a good indication of no serious OHSS going on. I got up 4 times in the night for a wee, which is a new personal record. Although again, scientific brain needs to remember i'm also drinking around 3litres of water a day, which could play a huge role in this!

Fingers crossed for tomorrow scan - They could potentially do EC anywhere from 3-6 days time depending on my response. It's almost all over before I've even got my head around it beginning!
