Blow Fish

Half asleep but chugging Gatorade

On my way this morning...

I feel like a blow fish except I'm not filled with air. I'm filled with fluid. I've been downing Gatorade all day which leads to emptying my bladder every few minutes. I ate 3 bananas and now I'm on my second glass of orange juice. That should cover my potassium. I've followed my RE's recommendation of salty foods: country ham biscuit with a side of country ham (ha!) and pepperoni pizza. I don't know what else to do but pray that I don't get severe OHSS.

My nurse called a few minutes ago. She said my estrogen is quite high -- over 7,000! She wanted to make sure I had my prescription filled for tomorrow. It's called Dostinex. I'll start it after my ER. She said they give it to all patients that have an estrogen level above 5,000. I asked her if I would be okay but I really meant could the transfer be cancelled. She said everything would be fine. She said I would be really bloated and everyones body handles things differently but things will be fine. She made me feel better.

We're going to bed early tonight. We're excited about the ER. We've got to be there at 8:45 AM. So we'll be leaving here at 6:30 AM. It's going to be an early morning but hopefully an uneventful day after the ER. I'll update as soon as I'm able with details from my experience.

Say a prayer. I'm praying for you!
