- Nausea - no vomiting, but smells make me feel sick. Cigarette smoke is, surprisingly, one of the things that sets off my nausea. I'm surprised because I only quit smoking again (after falling off the wagon when I was told I had no chance of conceiving naturally) right before I started this cycle. I am a born smoker, love the taste, the smell, that burning feeling in my lungs. If only they could get this feeling in to a patch and no one would have trouble quitting. I not only hate smoking right now, I can't imagine ever smoking again. Hope it lasts!
- Super Smell - this one totally creeps out Mr. M. I can smell when Ms O puts lotion on in her bedroom from the living room, downstairs. The first time it happened, I thought she had dumped a whole bottle of scented oil on the carpet, the smell was so strong.
- SI Joint Pain - This one is excruciating, debilitating, totally paralyzing. If I sit too long, which I am apt to do at work, I can barely stand up. If I'm too active, I can barely walk. I have found this comfortable medium where I go for a slow, short walk every hour or so. I guess I should ditch the heels too, they really aren't helping.
- Back Cramp - This only happened once and I don't know if it is technically a pregnancy symptom, but holy shit that hurt. I had vacuumed earlier on in the day, so I guess vacuuming is out. Shame.
- Epically Constipated - Not unusual for me, but I'm pretty sure I actually sprained my colon one day. I'm not even joking. It felt like someone stuck a red hot rod in my colon. Was that too much? Did I go too far there?
So, one thing I do find funny is I am less emotional. I think now that my system has cleared out the medically induced hormonal imbalance, I feel relatively normal. Relative to how I felt during treatment. I'm pretty sure, before all treatment started, I would have considered my current state of mind as being on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Funny how your perceptions change.
I probably won't bother updating until after the ultrasound next Monday. My heart just isn't in it.
Ugh - that sounds miserable Monky :( I'm so so sorry :(
ReplyDeleteHow is your OHSS? Is the pain at least subsiding?
((hugs))
Dang. I would be out of my everlovin' mind having to wait till seven weeks for my u/s. You get an extra large gold star for not killing your RE in a fit of anticipation-induced rage!
ReplyDeleteI'm dealing with cuckoo nose right now as well, and it is no fun at all. And I've been having a bit of back cramping, too. No real nausea yet though. It's kind of starting to worry me a bit... aren't I supposed to be extra nauseated if there's two in there???
