(watching tv with her mom)
today i had my second ultrasound. the technician measured my eggs for the second time and showed they had each grown since this past thursday. i have 20 eggs, many of them too small yet. at the beginning of the cycle they mentioned wednesday, july 15th as the extraction date but now it is looking like friday since my eggs still need a few days to grow.
negatives for me:
- one more day of bloodwork
- one more uncomfortable ultrasound
- two more days of injections (4 more than i expected)
positives for me:
- sean can be with me at surgery
- my friends won't have to bust their butts to take me up to the hospital and back
- a couple days off work
i spoke with my mother last night and asked her to be at the surgery with me. although she is against this second cycle she was more than happy to come down to lawrence. i have such a wonderful mom!
changes in my body.
i do find myself more emotional, easily susceptible to dips in my mood. i've gained some weight and i feel unbalanced in my diet, exercise, and schedule. i'm sure this will all smooth out once i have surgery.
i have continued to ride my bike to and from work but have given up riding to the gym or downtown. it feels weird to take full strides when i walk as if i am pulling something inside so i take smaller steps.
