QQuaver, the salad I mention yesterday, was not a green leaf salad, but pulses, so it was very nice. I had some sushi for lunch today and ended up in agony for half an hour - honestly, couldn't move much, couldn't breath properly, and just ended up laying on the bed and screaming!!!!! I don't understand what is ging on with me. I am getting scared to eat or drink - I know, bad ida and I will get a cup of tea soon enough.

You should avoid carbs (rice, pasta, bread etc) and veggies, and just have a small piece of meat or a bit of protein bar:o
With so much fluid leaking from your ovaries, there's no space for your stomach. You'll feel hungry, but you'll feel ill if you fill it up.

Don't drink plain water, as it'll leak straight out of your ovaries and make it worse. You should take sports drinks.

(((Hugs))).

Oh well, I should not have rushed all the cleaned in the end - my friend just sent a text to say she decided to go directly to mother in law. Oh well, at least I have a reasonably clean couple of rooms...

It is thai chicken soup tonight for me - and I am looking forward to it! (Drink and chicken in one, sorry, but I hate sports drinks)

I wouldn't eat any of the veggies in there, and eat only 2 small pieces of chicken and drink 5/6 spoonful to start with. Perhaps eat/drink more of the rest an hour later.

Small and often is the key I think:o

This soup only has chicken and stock (apart from lemongrass, galangal, shallots, kaffir lime leaves - not really something to shout about). I am just starting to make it. The problem is - I am not hungry, I just love the food and smell of it!

Ok, I have to share something with you all, as you have been such a great support.

Today is exactly 4 years since we started trying for a baby. It was Friday, and OH came back home after his first week away in the new job 'up North'.

So, although my test is not due until Friday, I have made a decision to do one on this day anyway. I have made this decision even before the egg collection. So, today I am 14 days post egg collection, our babies are 14 days old. And the rest was - positive!!!!!!

I am cautiously happy, but trying to keep my feet on the ground as I do have OHSS (which I read can give false positive), and I did test early.

So, please, no congratulations yet, but I really wanted to share this with you all.
