OHSS: increasingly intolerant side eye

I am so very over OHSS, which is unfortunate for me, because my body shows no signs of letting up. On the one hand, that's a "good sign" because it indicates I'm still chugging away with the pregnancy hormones. On the other hand, I feel like shit warmed over.

I went back in early this morning to see how I was progressing after they removed those 2 liters from me on Friday. Turns out I've filled right back up! While I'm obviously really uncomfortable again, I am not (yet) having difficulty breathing, as I was last week, which apparently is because my body is "getting used to" having several liters of rogue liquid making itself at home in my midsection. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING YOU SHOULD ALLOW YOURSELF TO ACCLIMATE TO, BODY. They're hoping to wait until Wednesday to drain me out this time, so they can get out more. Also because I assume going under anesthesia and getting minor surgery multiple times a week is not exactly ideal.

I'm at work today but... man. I don't know if I can do this. If I need to wait until Wednesday, I think I need to do it lying down. (If I need/want to make the appointment for earlier, they were clear that I absolutely can and it's my call.)

One of the problems is that I can't sleep when I've got 2 liters of fluid in me. Lying flat does make it hard to breathe. Lying propped up has started painfully kinking my lower back. My pulse is hanging out at about 130 right now which isn't very... restful. There's not a lot of sleeping going on either way, basically. So adding exhaustion onto this is not making me particularly gracious about.. well, anything. I'm grumpy. And uncomfortable as shit. And so very tired.

I just keep reminding myself I'm glad I'm not at hospitalization levels. My lower extremities are not swelling. I've only ("only") got 4 pounds or so in me right now. Things could be far worse.

I would like it to stop, regardless. The doctors think it's likely that I have 1 - 2 more drainings in me before the OHSS resolves. I really hope that's all. From what I've read, even once the OHSS starts to dissipate, it can still take weeks for your abdomen to go back down to normal. Which means I have a shot of immediately shooting up to looking 4 months pregnant and just... staying there. Until I actually am 4 months pregnant. WHAT THE HELL.

Second beta results later today, to hopefully get the news that this little jerk is thriving in spite of its effects on me ;-)
