Oh, my achin' ovaries....

Today is the first day where the level of uncomfortableness has really made it's presence known. It's not pain so much as just discomfort in my lower abdomen and a general achy feeling. I woke up in the night a lot just trying to find a comfortable position. I am so fearful that any little thing could go wrong at this point and jeopardize the IVF process entirely. I am praying that this is just a normal side effect and hopefully even a sign that my ovaries are expanding due to maturing follicles. I willingly sought out IVF and gladly take on any side effect from the increasing hormones, but it's just hard to keep my mind at ease and wonder what is normal and what isn't. Please pray for peace of mind and a good ultrasound in the morning.

Amidst the resting today, I've taken time to organize lots of bills and files. They always seem to pile up in a hurry! The more I'm around the house, the more things like that begin to bug me, so it feels like a relief getting that squared away. Tomorrow the house is being cleaned while we're gone in the morning (the house cleaner has got to be the BIGGEST perk by far of my limited physical activity) so I'm already looking forward to returning to a dust free house!
