P-day!
I seriously haven't stopped peeing for 6 days. I've lost 11.5 lbs of the 18lbs I gained from my OHSS. I feel so much better, I just had to update, I know you probably don't care, but I do. I feel halfway normal again. Well if you could call me normal in the first place. Anyways, that's my news for the day, gotta run, it's time for a potty break.

Okay Party People.....
I haven't blogged for about a month, and have a very good reason, I just wasn't sure if I wanted to let everyone in on my crazy life or not.
Well, today I decided, ya know what who cares, they are going to know sometime soon anyway.
So here we go...about 3 years ago after already trying for 2 years we found out we had secondary infertility, which means we already have kids but weren't going to be able to have anymore without some help. Well the only choice they gave us was ivitrofertilization.
Last year we set out on a journey to figure out if we could do this, well that is when most of you know I had to go on a 7 month course of accutane to clear up my face, so we had to postpone having fertility treatments.
In June of this year we started up again and decided we wanted to try an IUI(inuterine insemination) first to see if it might possibly work. It didn't! Our Dr. really wanted us to try IVF because he thought it would be our best chance since we had been trying for 5 years.
So we started it up in August, with all the meds and what not. To make a long story short everything was going really well. We got the eggs out, fertilized them, and were able to transfer two embryos back in.
Well about 5 days after that, I started to get really sick and started gaining weight, I was in pain, nauseous and couldn't breathe very well( I still can't)
So I called the Dr. and he told me I had a condition called OHSS, its basically where your ovaries are overstimulated and starts leaking fluid into your body. Well I felt as though I had been hit by a truck(i look like it too).
I keep going in and getting checked and I have to get lots of rest, and drink lots of fluids.
Anyways...the dr. kept telling me it was a good sign because hcg triggers it so that i was probably pregnant. Well, I have had two blood tests to confirm that I am, but I'm seriously going to have the longest pregnancy because I'm just barely pregnant. But because of the OHSS I already look really pregnant, so it's not like there is any hiding it. So if you see me, which you probably won't unless you come for a visit, this is why my stomach is so huge already. OH and did I mention I gained 18 lbs this week. AMAZING!!!
Luckily I have good friends and a fabulous husband that are taking care of me and my kids. My mom is coming tomorrow too, yay!
Here is a pic today....
Although this extremely frustrating and annoying, I do feel a little better each day, at least I can take showers now and get dressed, I am able to walk around a little too, but I have only left the house to go to dr's appts. Hopefully, the pregnancy will go well and I will get rid of this extra 18lbs of fluid soon. I think I lost one lb today, I think. lol.
