Ovaries!!

I can definitely feel something working. I woke up this morning with a heavy feeling in my abdomen. It was the worst this morning when I woke up. It doesn't hurt, it just feels a bit full. I'm sure it will get worse as the days wear on.

I'm getting kind of paranoid about it now. As I was getting ready for work, I leaned over the bathroom counter to pluck my eyebrows. My stomach pressed into the counter and I immediately jumped back. Well, I didn't jump, but I repositioned. It probably wouldn't have hurt anything, but like I said, I'm paranoid.

That's funny, I do EXACTLY the same thing...or did when I was pg. And will again if I ever make it to another TWW. Gotta protect those eggs. Though I too am sure it wouldn't have hurt them.

Yeah, isn't that weird how quickly you begin to feel it in your lower abdomen? The ovaries just swell right up! And if your pregnancy is successful, they'll just keep on swelling, even after retrieval. And *that's* a freaky feeling!

I'm on day 5 of stims and feel constant pressure of those ovaries growing follicules! It's very cool. I love the feeling.

I don't think you can hurt them by leaning on the counter. I had an abdominal massage yesterday at the acupuncturist and he dug in there. It won't hurt anything at this early state of growing eggs (closer to retreival, yes).

Glad we are doing this together!!

Looking forward to following your blog! I'm on day 6 of stims, so we're fairly close. Glad to hear that you can feel the meds working, though it is uncomfortable.

Good luck!
