So far so good...
The Menopur shot last night seemed like a lot of liquid to inject but we went slow and the bump dissipated quickly. So far I'm feeling a bit sore at the injection sites and a little tired but overall ok. I know the drugs have a cumulative effect so we'll see how things go over the next few days. My first post injection blood test and ultrasound are on Tuesday morning.
I've been reading more about OHSS risks and things you can do to help prevent it. Some doctors recommend drinking 20-32ounces of gatorade per day and eating salty foods. Not sure how that is supposed to help since salt makes you retain water which is exactly what you don't want to do if you have OHSS. I'm going to email the nurse and see what she thinks.

I'm feeling something... I think the ovaries are waking up. All of the sudden, pressure and bloated. I'm drinking a lot of water so that may be part of it but ugh, here we go. One of the symptoms of OHSS is rapid weight gain. I just weighed myself so I'll keep an eye on it. Sad that I've actually lost a couple lbs but I know its muscle mass from not being able to work out for the past few weeks.
