Hope you're feeling better! Just a hint about what NOT to do, courtesy of my first fresh cycle:
If you feel constipated and/or gassy, do not eat an entire bag of prunes, eat three fiber capsules and drink a bottle of apple juice.
Trust me. Don't do it.
LOL... okay, I promise not to do that! They did give me apple juice after I woke up. Today I ate some high fiber bread but that's it (well, plus my Colase).
It's all just weird as I don't remember feeling this bad after my first IVF. DH thinks it was the adrenaline going into the first one - not really knowing what was going on and so it was a bit more "exciting". This time, the anesthesia needle hurt a lot more, the actual medication going into my arm burned like nobodies business, I felt like crap all day yesterday (although, granted, after the first ER, I slept the day away so probably slept through the worst of it - yesterday I couldn't sleep at all). Anyway, definitely better today.
Glad you're feeling better. You know, I've had experiences with this fresh cycle that I didn't have with the first one, too. The first time my injectibles never burned going in and I was always marveling at people who said theirs hurt. This time, though, it burned like a beeswax every time!
Also, I'm sort of dreading the ER this time. It occurred to me that "twilight sleep" doesn't mean I'll actually be out the entire time. I might have been telling my RE he's a worthless moron during the procedure and I wouldn't even know it! I've been trying to put good thoughts into my head like, "Wow, you're so well-dressed, Dr. Soandso" so that if I say something, hopefully it'll be a compliment.
