The ART of IVF

Pregnant? Nope, just fat.

Round 7, Day 17
I look like I'm about four or five months pregnant.
I don't know if it's because of the medications or because I splashed out and ate some carbs. By some, I mean all of the carbs. Every last one. So I'm sure that's not helping. But I'm pretty sure it's the meds.
I can't stand wearing jeans or anything that puts pressure on my abdomen because of this crazy swelling. I've put on a bunch of weight, I'm sure some of it is fluids but I am also sure some of it is not. I look like I've given up on life in my all-day activewear. In short, I'm ready for this round to be over, one way or another. 
Switching the progesterone-only pessaries to being suppositories through the day has helped enormously with the weird vaginal nausea (I should trademark that as a medical term) although I'm still swollen and irritated, just not need-to-sit-on-the-loo-at-all-times irritated.
And with that said, I could smash a dirty vodka martini right now... gawd my mouth is watering just thinking about it.  But it's only a few days until transfer, I should really be doing some kind of cleanse. My inner chi definitely needs cleaning, I'm just in a mental funk with this round. I just don't feel on my good game, that I'm putting my best foot forward here. At least I'm not a human hive today.
And I managed to take Offspring to the zoo like a good momma this morning after the rain cleared. We saw the "effelents" or as they started to be called by the end of the day the "elforlents".
​We're working on it.
