*In the Clear*

So I went to the RE today for my checkup to make sure that everything is calm before the storm!! Thin uterine lining....check, small ovaries....check, small follicles....check, no cysts....WhooHooo! I am still waiting for a b/w call from my nurse and then she will give me directions on what to do for the next couple of days.

I am still worried about OHSS...I have been reading up a lot on it. Pulling information that will help me avoid or at least lessen the symptoms. Since I have PCOS I need to be very cautious of this. Luckily, I have an RE consultation tomorrow. I am going to ask him a lot of ?'s and have him reassure me that he will do everything he can to prevent me from getting OHSS. It scares the hell at out me. So for now I am eating a protein and potassium diet along with lots of fluids. Anything I can do to prevent it...I will. Speaking of OHSS has anyone heard from Margriet? I have been worried about her lately. I hope her symptoms have subsided!

I am also setting up an appointment with the acupuncturist that RMA provides. Its complimentary so I might as well do it! I am going to do at least 2. One before the transfer and one after. I think if I want any more I have to pay for it, so we will see how the first 2 go.

I got a big box in the mail yesterday. All I have to say is WHOLLY MEDS!! I have never seen more needles, swabs, medicine...just plain crap in my life! Someone would think I was a drug addict if they saw all of it. I stored it all down in the cool basement for no one to find!

I cant believe in 2 weeks I will be PUPO!!! I just hope it all goes okay. Say some prayers for me!!

  8. I am SOOOO excited for you Aj!!!! Getting big boxes of meds is exciting isn't it! Gosh, what is wrong with us IFers!

    And thank you so much for thinking of me. I hope you do not have to go through OHSS... no fun. It's super smart and responsible of you to be thinking ahead and changing your diet! We should buy some stock in Gatorade together!
