(I'm not looking for sympathy, I just need to gripe.) So I've tried to avoid complaining too much about everything, but let me just say, this sucks and I feel like crap. For the last week my ovaries have felt like they were going to explode. Very bloated and crampy, which apparently is normal. I know compared to other women, 7 total follies isn't that big of a deal (especially when only 2-3 of them will end up mature!), but compared to the 2 total that I'm used to, it sucks. It stretches your ovaries and makes them sit lower. I have been so "aware" of my lower belly and yesterday was just awful. It was probably a combination of the growing follicles and the dildo wand/vag cam that was stuck up in me moving around for awhile yesterday while they measured each. A bit of a reprieve is that we're not allowed to have sex these few days (b/c of the IUI) - she told me that I'd probably be tender because the ovaries are sitting lower and that just doesn't sound pleasant.
Then there are the headaches and the fact that I think my boobs have grown to twice their usual size and are tender. I don't even know if that was supposed to happen, but I feel like it did.
Next we move to the highlight of my day, the shot. Jason did a really good job, but seriously, would anyone enjoy a needle stuck in their ass every night? The sticking in part (except for 2 memorable nights) wasn't so bad, it was the injection itself - it stings! Last night was the big grand finale. It was a different med, but twice the amount of liquid to inject. I still feel bruised.
And this morning my body decided it would be a good idea to add nausea to the mix. Who knows if it's from the Repronox, the HCG trigger shot, or nerves about tomorrow's IUI - probably a combo. Regardless, it sucks. Oh, and I'm tired.
At least until today my emotional state has seemed to be ok. Although I feel like all of the Clomid crazies that I've avoided this month by switching to injectables have hit full force today. Wierd.
So a note to my body: Please start cooperating. Making me feel like shit, without any sort of reward, isn't funny. If you could just let me get pregnant this month, I would forgive you.

I know this might not help, but hang in there. Today is crappy but it is only one day. Maybe tomorrow will be better. (Maybe not...but we won't think abou that right now.) And, you are totally justified in complaining. Feeling crappy really sucks no matter the reason.
Sending happy-feel-better-or-at-least-not-as-bad thoughts your way!
I send a "poor baby" your way (if you don't understand, ask Chrissi and she can probably find you the book)
Awww!! Hopefully your body will make it up to you! If I were you, I would totally be curled up in my bed at all times. I don't do sick well (no pun intended). Go cuddle with your cats!
