They say that when you go through IVF your pregnancy seems longer. Well unfortunately, they are right. I feel like we have been going through this for a while now but I’m only at 9 weeks. I guess I better start having some patients because I have 30 more to go!
The nausea is still there and some days pretty strong. Breakfast has turned into an egg on an English muffin, usually without meat but I add cheese every once in a while. I really don’t do well at dinner time, I mostly just want mac and cheese but I fight that off and try to have a semi normal dinner. I feel bad for Frank because he always asks what I want and I have no idea. At work I have been snacking a lot! I bring stuff like bananas, crackers, cheese sticks, Fig Newtons and cottage cheese w/ fruit. We have a cafeteria at work so when we go down for lunch I usually only feel like grilled ham and cheese or soup or if they have Mexican food. Yeah, lots of salt and fat! Why couldn’t I have had cravings for stuff like carrots and celery.
I have gained a couple of pounds but I really feel like I have gained 20 with the way the bloat and constipation has affected me. Sometimes l think I should just not eat so much but then my nausea just gets worse. I have to snack just about every hour just to keep my stomach happy. During the week while I am at work it is worse because I sit at my desk all day and just think about how bad I feel. At least on the weekends I am up and around and have my own schedule so I don’t think about it so much.
Thursday is our ultrasound! Hoping to see a more developed blob on the scan haha More later!
