Yowza! Feeling a little nauseated this morning and moving much more slowly. The doctor made a funny comment yesterday about how they expect to retrieve about 20 eggs, which is way more than they need. He also said my cycle goes extra fast–most women take 12 days to develop the follicles and once I start taking follicle stimulating hormones it only takes 8-9 days for them to be ready. They’ve cut my medication 3 times already this cycle. I noted to them that I might not need as much meds due to the fact that I am 10lbs lighter than I have been doing previous cycles. Fertile Myrtle!

I do feel softer in the heart region. My face looks rounder. I have been eating more since being on the meds, and my sleep cycles are off due to naps I’ve been taking in the early evenings to ward off the cold that’s been going around town. So far, so good!

It’s pouring down rain today. I have been feeling more emotional about things in general. A soft rain starting falling during practice and I thought it was just lovely and soft the way it was hitting the skin. Later, a thunderstorm and accompanying downpour made me smile and raise my eyebrows in excitement. I could feel the energy of the storm absorbing into me. The people around me didn’t seem to be reacting the same way! Songs are sounding new and I want to write more poetry…

Off for another ultrasound and blood draw this morning…
