Keep Your Eye on the Ball

It's day 2 and the side effects from the IVF regimen have started to hit me.

I feel bloated in the mornings right after the injections but then the feeling subsides after a few hours. Then there are bouts of nausea off and on and I feel a bit gassy. Headaches come and go but the hot flushes are more or less there all day (unless the AC is cranked up to superblast).

Just when I thought this time would be different. Shouldn't have counted my chickens before they hatch. Let's hope that the side effects don't include crazy mood swings. Despite everything that I am experiencing, I still would do it again if only for the hope of growing our family.

Again, thankful for my loved ones especially my DH, who is always so patient with me every step of the way.
