Where to start?

I am feeling my absolute worst/lowest/crappiest/angriest/saddest at the moment. Since I last posted everything has gone downhill.
  • 7 of the 9 embryos are between 2-5 cells (normal) and 2 x 1 cells (poor);
  • of those 9 embryos, all are considered to be below average quality;
  • 24 hours after the EPU I started to feel bloated and uncomfortable;
  • 48hrs after and I am in absolute pain and discomfort, unable to even lie down flat without being in pain.

I'm absolutely confident that this is OHSS yet again, and I am just praying for the strength to get through it, and then I'm telling myself that I am never ever doing this again to reassure myself that this is a twice off, and I can do it, because it won't last forever.

I'm feeling:

  • bowel pain;
  • a constant discomfort across my whole mid section from under my chest to my lower abdomen;
  • waves of pain across this section;
  • a tightness in my chest since I spent half the night lying in bed rather than being upright (i think);
  • I don't have an appetite but have to keep my my fluids and extra fluids like powerade and pear juice.

When I spoke to the FS yesterday he recommended that we wait out until Day 5 for the transfer as originally planned, as I was feeling to ill for a Day 3 transfer. The problem with this being by Day 5 there may not be a blastie to transfer (not that I think I will be well enough, even if there is one to transfer.)

I can call and get an update on my embryos @ 10am............
