Update on my Bloated Belly!! (lol)

So, I’m sitting here at my desk, getting NOTHING accomplished. I'm VERY uncomfortable!! My belly above my belly button is SO distended and HARD as a rock!! I feel like someone pumped me full of gas/air and I’m about to burst! DH was teasing me last night that he thinks I might have a couple babies growing in there........wouldnt that be nice!??!?!

I've been googling all day!! I know, I know……….I try to limit my google access but it’s REAL hard these days! Anyways, all of the symptoms from OHSS talk about distention of the belly and a feeling of fullness so after much consideration and with MUCH hesitation (because Im convinced she thinks I'm a ‘hypochondriac’) I called my RE.

I talk to her assistant who then passes me through to her and when she picks up, I hear her whisper “she’s crazy!” I’m not sure if she was referring to me with the ‘crazy’ comment, but even if she was, I think it’s funny! I SHOULD have said to her “I HEARD THAT!” because I KNOW she would have gotten a kick out of it. So then she says “Hey, Renee, so you feel like Sh*T, huh?” Gotta love her! She pulls NO punches, my RE...lol...

Anyways, I tell her how I’m feeling and she says that it’s all normal and that actually it may be a good sign because it means my body is full of estradiol and progesterone!!! She mentioned that I probably do have a slight case of OHSS and to drink LOTS AND LOTS OF FLUIDS but that as long as I’m not in pain, think of it as a positive thing, it means all the hormones are working together to try to make this work!

Im sure some of it is most certainly the medications BUT hopefully some of it is natural and HOPEFULLY I have alteast one baby in there nestling in for the long haul.

OMG, I'm so excited for Friday I could puke!

Hello Renee I know what you mean I am at work and I can't seem to keep my mind on what I should be doing. I also feel bloated and hard I thought it was all in my head but I am having pain with it really bad when my bladder gets much in it. Not sure what it is though.
How is everything else going? I'm so excited for you for Friday. What time are you going to get your beta done?

Hey Cheryl, I am having that too, when my bladder is full, its even more uncomfortable. I'm not in any pain, just feel rolly polly is all..........and when I sit to use the bathroom, it is a little painful until my bladder empties and then I feel better.

If you're in pain, I'd discuss that with your RE, just to be safe........let them think you're nuts.......who cares.......lol.........

My bloodwork is in teh morning, from 7:30 - 9:00am I can go. I try to get there before 8:00am so I wont be too late for work but sometimes the highway doesnt cooperate! I ususally get my calls mid afternoon, and i'll be here at work which STINKS! But I didnt want to ask for another day off.

Your ET is friday right? You must be SO excited for your babies to come back home!

Good luck on Friday!!! I was lucky with the OHSS thing, but I hear that alternating gatorade and water is supposed to help.
