I have been spotting for the last 2-3 days. No idea why. Not sure if it's related to the scratch, or what, but I've been spotting. Getting nervous about my period coming early.
My boobs also hurt really bad, which I did take a pregnancy test yesterday, and BFN. I know it is early, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I know my boobs generally don't hurt post ovulation, they used to every now and then, but not really. And definitely not since starting IVF treatments over a year ago. I might test again tomorrow to check what's going on. I just don't want my period to come early. One of the really shitty things about IVF is the bloating I'll endure. It really does mess with your body a bit. I hope I don't bloat that bad. My retrieval last June wasn't horrible, but then again, I also didn't eat much junk around that time. Similarly, I'm barely eating any junk now; however, I do need more greens in my diet. I've been slacking. I've been hyper focused on cutting down sugar and grains, which I've done successfully. I also think it's made my body very sensitive to sugar. Now I get horrible sugar crashes, even after ingesting small amounts of sugary items. Also, I'm not quite at my goal weight yet, but I'm close. This morning I chose to weigh myself because I noticed the remaining back roll is almost nonexistent, I'm down to 141.2 lbs. Hoping to see a flat 140 this coming weigh in, and then a drop to 137 the following week. I'm down to a size 8, from a 10, and those 8's are a little loose in the waist. Not the legs, but my legs have become extremely muscular. My hope is that getting down to a healthy weight/BMI will impact this coming cycle in a positive way. I'm also hoping that be eating well, and cutting out grains and beef (which are known to cause inflammation and negatively impact fertility), will create a good outcome. I know the last June cycle, I was eating very very very healthy. I was also exercising and walking. I do believe that had a positive impact. Both my Feb '17 and Jan '18 cycles, I ate like shit. In fact, Jan I ate chocolate every single day. I barely ate any protein, just straight crap from the holidays and stress. I was also at my heaviest in January. I do still have two ❄️ babies, and I do strongly feel they are normal, but I think my eating habits had a very large impact on the outcome of that cycle. My hormones got all screwy, and I started bleeding mid cycle after transfer. If you look at my embryo to egg ratio, the June cycle was better (7:5 vs 7:4, and in January, they transferred 2 of my 4 embryos at 3 days, so who knows if I would've even had 4 blasts, the last 2 became blasts). Hoping for a repeat performance, especially that in taking HGH which is used to increase quality, who knows, maybe I'll get 6 or 7 out of 7 🤷♀️ This time we are PGS testing. Even having ate super crappy, the HGH I do believe played a role in giving us our first ever hatching blast that will be transferred this coming cycle.
