Yesterday was, well, not good. Given that my usually lower-than-normal blood pressure zooms to overly high after an hour wait at Dr. G's office, I can't even begin to imagine what it was like yesterday. And that's just the beginning.
Although I have a bunch of work to do, it IS my spring break, and LG's in school (except, of course, Friday, which is likely transfer day), so I've built in as much rest and self-care as possible. Lunch with a friend today, therapy on Tuesday, yoga and chiropractic on Wednesday, massage on Thursday (assuming, of course, it is a Friday transfer). I'm planning on getting a stack of funny movies that I know I like (Being John Malkovich, Stranger Than Fiction, etc).
I will, as instructed by my doctor, up my intake of protein, omega 3s, and water. I will come off the ambien. I will start eating pineapple. I will drink mother's tea instead of my neighbor's special cocktail. I will, as much as I can, try to keep myself calm (though she'd like me not to do yoga for a minimum of three days after transfer). Beyond that, I'm not sure what I can do.
Right now I think I'm going to throw up.

Update: Of the 15 eggs, 14 were mature, 12 are now dividing embryos (8/10 ICSI, 4/4 normally). I'm not over-the-moon happy with this, but it seems like a damn good result from the 13-15 follicles predicted a week ago.
Try not to throw up. You'll just have to find something else to eat to make up the calories. Hang in there...
