Infertility

I lost six pounds last night

It's an IVF miracle!

I almost cried when I got on the scale on retrieval day.  I had felt SO bloated at the end of stims of course but seeing that I was at my heighest weight ever just depressed me.  They told me to weigh myself twice a day in case of OHSS so I have been since Monday and it's been the same.  I had some stomach issues last night after the Lovenox and, voila, I am now back to the weight I probably was two weeks ago.

Sure it's ten pounds higher than my "normal" weight but going on birth control last month made me gain too.  I feel better that if this cycle works now I won't be starting at such a high weight.  I actually hope a few more pounds go away before beta day.  If it doesn't work it's diet time.

    I still have to make it to transfer (Saturday) but then I think it will be on Columbus Day.  I'll be visiting my younger sister for her birthday and she would be so excited to be the first one to know.  Fingers crossed.
