IVF 5: Day 11

Starting to really feel my ovaries. I have that special extra swollen feeling. I try to relieve my bladder more often to release some space and give the follies some elbow room to grow.

Today's appointment went well. There was a longer than usual wait. I got there 15 min before my appointment and waited half an hour before being called back for blood, so technically 15 min late. Then I waited another 20 min for the ultrasound. There's one follicle growing a bit faster than the others. They're going to give the others a chance to catch up. Next appointment is on Thursday, which makes me think there's no way trigger will be that night, but maybe I'm wrong? I refilled my meds just in case.

I've broken out in itchy spots all over. At first I was alarmed, thinking it might be bug bites (bed bug nightmare??) but I checked the mattresses and changed the sheets and they were all clear. I also googled what bed bugs bites look like and mine weren't at all like that. I thought back to when it started which was Sunday, same day I started the cetrotide. I asked the doc this morning and she said it was a common side effect of the med. Oh, good to know. Meanwhile everything is SO itchy. I have spots on my arms and legs, on my back. Definitely at the injection sites. Even the roof of my mouth is itchy and my scalp. What gives?? This needs to go away!
