Everyone Stinks!

Warning: This is a whiney, complaint-ridden post. I know it is written in the IF rulebook that once you get pregnant, you are supposed to ride a happy cloud all the way to the delivery room, but I am working to change that rule!

Have you ever seen this nose spray commercial where the guy's entire head is just one giant nose? Well, that's how I feel. I can smell everything. And everything smells bad. That, coupled with the nausea which has kicked in full swing, makes me want to just stay in the house. Or better yet, in the bed with the covers pulled up over my super-smelling snout. I mean when I step outside of my office building, I can smell every restaurant within a five block radius. I smell the garbage, the smoke, exhaust fumes from the buses and the funk that emanates from every homeless person I walk past. Of course, it doesn't help that it is 100 degress outside with 99% humidity.

Honestly though, I wouldn't mind the smells if it didn't make me want to puke. Amazingly, I have only tossed my cookies once so far. But I feel like I could do it again all the time. The only time I'm not nauseous is when I'm sleeping. If only I had a couch in my office. sigh.

I am glad to report that all is well as far as I know. I did not get an U/S this week because my doctor fell and broke her arm. But my labs are fine.

That commercial of the nose is crazy, sometimes I feel the same way when the seasons change....it gets all stuffy, and you can hardly breeth.

it sucks but it is not going to last for long. For the nausea, you can ask your doctor for a prescription of Zofran. It is totally safe and is supposed to work great. Good luck with everything

I'm a complete stranger, but found your blog when I ran a google search for intralipid infusion+ivf. I'm hoping you can shed some light on what this procedure entails as my dr is most likely going to perform this with my next fresh ivf cycle... My name is Lynn, 43, MAF in So Cal... my blog is at lynniesan.blogspot.com if you want to check me out before responding. My e-mail is lynniesan@aol.com. Look forward to hearing from you...Thanks :)
