Dr's Orders

We had a Dr's appointment bright and early yesterday morning to find out how things are good. We left feeling a little nervous. I need to continue the shots that we have been on and I was told to go home and relax, not bed rest, but unofficially bed rest, and drink at least 2 32oz of Gatorade and come back Monday morning to get checked again. So here's the scope - late Friday afternoon I started to feel pressure in my lower abdomen - the kind of pressure you feel when you ovulate. They looked at my ovaries and said they were looking "juicy". I know, very weird to say. Basically my ovaries are wanting to ovulating and we need to prevent that from happening. The Gatorade will help me re-hydrate and get some electrolytes in my system. So the couch & bed have become my best friends. We rented a ton of movies and Chris has been giving me plenty of Gatorade. I love Gatorade - but right now - I am SO over it! I really don't think my urine has ever been this clear in my LIFE!! The Doc told us to keep in the back of our mind that we may have to cancel this cycle if my ovaries don't cooperate. That is the part that scares me the most. Having a baby is at our fingertips and we are afraid it is going to be put on hold. If they have to cancel this cycle, we will have to wait about 3 months to get going again. My emotions are on high, but my wonderful husband keeps reminding me that we are meant to have a baby and it is going to happen. He has been very positive and even did the Laundry! What a man! I could get used to him doing the Laundry!! HAHA!! I feel bad asking & feel very selfish, but please put out some extra prayers for us.
PS - I got my Butterfingers I wanted the other night!! Kim - you better be laughing!! I have a very strong love/hate relationship with these cravings!!
