I have no idea where the last 2 days have gone! Not much to tell on the IVF front, still feeling bloated and painy but not too bad. Managed to do my Cetrotide all by myself a couple of times too which I'm pretty proud of.
I did have a panic earlier thinking I might have OHSS (Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome) which can be caused by the injections. I was having a lot of pain in my ovaries, feeling really nauseous, hot and sweaty, faint and just generally not well but I'd not eaten much or had much water all day and I felt a lot better after some food and fresh air.
The reason for having not eaten much is that we've been at a powerlifting competition all day. I couldn't compete due to the treatment at the moment but ALS was competing along with 4 other friends of ours and I was supporting - I made brownies, filmed all their lifts and screamed my lungs out at them. It was lovely playing mother for the day and I'm so proud of them all.
Fortunately I'll get to compete alongside them all at the World Championships in October once this treatment cycle is done and before we do our FET (Frozen Embryo Transfer). It'll be my last competition for a year or two so I want to go out on a high - can't wait to get back to training.
Now I need a lie down...
