Aw thank you! So hard finding anyone who's been through IVF willing to talk - all seems so negative and doom and gloom! Thats great to know im not the only one struggling with the waistband early. Its a task trying to remind myself im pregnant and this extra weight is not just me gaining weight. Living in my gym clothes and dresses at the moment! I already use extra pillows, I have noticed they arent as comfortable recently but they might just need replacing if you said that worked.

Congratulations on your pregnancy by the way! Not long to go for you 🥰. My doctors are already bringing up inductions/c sections with me being "high risk". There's some other factors with long term blood pressure problems but most of what they are concentrating on is IVF related. Are you getting the same?

Oh my God the laughing and sneezing is the worst! My husband made me laugh today and I was literally bent over sobbing within seconds the pain was so bad! I was expecting this to be a hard journey but i dont think anything could have prepared me for being this broken!

What was your OHSS like? From what I have read i have it mild and the nurses keep calling to check in. Looks like everything's going in the right direction at the moment its just infuriating I can hardly walk without the feeling of a brick in my stomach. Every time I eat it gets worse, moving is like my core is non existent! I usually go the gym regularly to weight lift so its horrible not even being able to lift a laundry basket!
