1st ultrasound

was this morning at 9. i spent the night at a friend's house in hollywood so i wouldn't have to get up at 4 in the morning and battle traffic for 80 miles.

i arrived early and they called me in early. i sat on the ultrasound table with my shirt and the gyno pink paper skirt thingy for about 5 minutes. i passed the time watching the monkey mobile above my head. hoping my bicycle was still locked up outside when i got done. the nurse lady entered with the doc and we got started. they had to finish my FDA tests, so i had a gonorrhea test and stuff. and then the ultrasound. for this ultrasound they use a transvaginal wand. the inside of you body is weird looking. i saw my spine, or a poo, not sure. and my bladder (looked like a HUGE empty bowl.)

the doctor counted the holes in each ovary and measured the diameters. each ovary had 7 developing ovum with the larger ones at 12 and 13 millimeters. each ovary looked like a swiss cheese avocado. or a cluster of large bubbles.

i can feel the pressure more today than yesterday. its significantly more heavy. theres awareness. and stuff.

they said everything is going as planned (thank buddha) so the calendar says i'm to continue the medications until thursday for my next ultrasound.

side effects:

pressure from swollen ovaries

the shots are beginning to hurt more because the skin i'm using to inject the medications is running out of surface area and getting more tender.

i have the desire to work out strenuously. like go running or do a million sit ups. till i'm aching and sweaty. maybe its because i'm not allowed.
