Weight Gain and Loss


I weighed myself on Thursday night before bed the day of my retrieval.  This was the first time I had weighed myself during this cycle so I'm not sure if I was up any weight at that point. 

Yesterday morning when I woke up I weighed myself again and was up 3 pounds. I went into the office because of this and they told me to take it easy. Last night before bed I weighed myself and was up 8 pounds from retrieval. Other than the weight gain I was feeling pretty much alright. 

The nurse at the clinic yesterday told me the fluid just needed to shift around and that eventually I would pee most of it out. Yesterday I didn't pee as much as I should have so that was starting to make me a bit nervous. 

Well, last night I was up about every 45 minutes to an hour peeing. I lost 4.5 pounds overnight and am feeling much better. Now, if that Colace would just kick in I might lose a few more pounds! IVF is so much fun.

  2. Apple Juice or Iced Decaf Coffee!!!
    I learned to live off of those during the wait for transfer...

    Oh or watermelon with a tiny bit of the white, rind, part still on. You can even sprinkle a little salt on it and that helps too!
    Cherries do also.

    I feel your pain, darlin'!!!
    But the end result of it all is totally worth it!!
