I'm trying to decide is I want to take a risk of begin a mom to twins or a singleton..
Do I want to take the risk or not.. I always thought and could see a future of twins. Ever since I was young. My husband is supportive but his fear is having more than two. Which could happen.. I'm in the cycle before the FET cycle, I'm pretty excited!
I have 16 babies frozen, life is such a miracle.. It's amazing how science can help women like me become mothers. I had 9 in perfect form, and 13 in decent condition, 7 out of the 13 where frozen.
With the OHSS, I have lost 20 lbs but I'm still swollen, I can't button up the jeans I could wear comfortably prior to IVF at the same weight I am right now. It's very frustrating.. I'd like to lose 10 lbs before FET, I knowing can do it, I'll be hitting up the store for fruits and veggies. No more junk food for now. I need to pump my body up with healthy food for my babies.
I had a rough time with the medications with Lupron, I had lost down to 227 from 232.
With OHSS I gained to 248, and very constipated! It was miserable..
Today I'm down to 228.
At the hospital my stomach was at 52", I haven checked but prior I was 38".
OHSS is very painful and it makes it hard to breathe or walk, I'm still not at 100% I can't stand up for long without my back hurting and feeling exhausted. I don't wish this on anyone..

OHSS
Well I went from having great news to being admitted to the hospital..
I had 27 eggs extracted from me, out of those 27 eggs 22 fertilized! Best news ever!!
I was so happy, my mom cried with the great news. This time they let them fertilize naturally without ICSI.
But OHSS ugly head reared itself.. This morning I was 235 and just two hours later after eating 2 toast, I was up 238. I called dr Ku and he wanted to see me immediately.
Drove to the clinic and he said I was going to be admitted, I was too high of a risk, plus I am in pain and I couldn't breath.
So far this place has been really good to be.. The nurses here are so sweet!
They had a hard time finding a good vein tho for the IV, the first time they bent the plastic needle in my arm, the second time, they wiggled the plastic needle and slapped my arm to wake up my vein.. Torture! But I survived it! IV is in place and the worst is over.
They have me on morphine and Percocet.. Good stuff!
Can't wait for Sunday for another update on my babies..

Day 1 post EC
Well yesterday they took out my eggs, I believe they aren't doing ICSI this time and letting nature take its course.. I'll get a phone call today with my babies status.
They said it was quite a bit they took out. My husbands specimen was looking really good too!
I'm hurting tho, OHSS is in full effect but not nearly as bad, I've gained about 5 lbs so far, anything more I will let dr Ku know..
I'll weigh myself a little later but I am starting to lose my breath when I walk. Not as bad as last time but it's getting worse.
My last few days were very uncomfortable. I'll see how I'm doing tomorrow before I call HR to take me out of work again for awhile.
I kinda don't want too but I feel like I need to especially with the changes happening again.
I don't think I could go back with how I'm feeling, this hurts pretty bad. Just to sit to go to the bathroom it hurts. If I keep gaining, I'll text dr Ku to see if I need to go to the hospital.

Stim day 11
Dr. Ku called, he said I'm doing to well and is worried about OHSS to flare up again, he gave me options. First option is to cancel, second option is to proceed with caution and possible have to freeze my eggs for next month once OHSS is calmed down
I went with option two. He said that if the OHSS is severe again, I need to be omitted to the hospital to be monitored this time. Especially if I can't breath.
I've been sad, and crying.. Might be the hormones but I'm upset because last year I wasn't overlooked correctly. I know I can't dwell in the past but it hurts, I always get the short end of the stick.
Hopefully this time I'm paid more attention this time.
Tomorrow is my final scan, I'm feeling worse by the day, but I can't even sit at work without hurting, or walk without losing my breath. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little scared.
I just want some embryos that survive, but I also don't want to die either.
My estradiol is up to 5500 now, we'll see what's tomorrow's numbers, might be triggering tomorrow also.
