Second time I've had to go in for bloodwork where the roads were covered in white. Luckily it's President's Day so schools were closed which meant less traffic. I was prepared to Uber it if I felt uncomfortable driving but thankfully the roads weren't too bad and I was able to get to and from the clinic without traffic issues.
I went in for day 4 monitoring. I made sure to drink lots and lots of water last night and this morning. As soon as I woke up I chugged a bottle of water and that unsettled my stomach a little. Note to self: don't chug cold water at 6:30 AM. It seems to have done the trick, though, because the bloodwork part was easy and quick. Things are so much simpler when the veins cooperate.
Ultrasound was next and things look ok. Cyst that they saw at the baseline appointment seems to have gone away, so yay for that. I got the call from my nurse already with results (have I mentioned I love my new nurse?) and they're upping the meds, as expected.
Other than the aforementioned nausea I'm not feeling many noticeable symptoms. I am getting a headache every so often which is unusual for me. Probably related, my eyes have been bothering me also. It seems like they are puffy and stuff gets trapped in them but when I look in there there's nothing. I work a lot with Excel spreadsheets so it's possible they're strained. I also find myself squinting when it's really bright in a room or outside, something that never used to bother me. It's almost as though my Rx is no longer right for me, like it's too strong, even though I've been wearing glasses since elementary school. Is it related to the IVF treatment? Who knows. I made an appointment with the eye doc to check it out.
