sucking it in

I am back at work this morning and feeling like a giant cow.  The first pair of slacks I put on buttoned and zipped, but upon mirror inspection they definitely didn't "fit."  I changed into a pair that usually fits big, and even they are a little snug.  Not the biggest self-confidence booster.  Is this still just bloating from the meds?  Will it go away?  If I don't get pregnant, I will start running again and hopefully be able to shape things up a bit.  If I do get pregnant, though, I will be in maternity pants at five weeks at this rate.

I am feeling more sore today, but I imagine that's normal.  I am sure I look a little crazy walking around the office so stiffly today, so my goal is to stay in my chair as much as possible.

  2. ugh, I hate that part!!! I say that you go get yourself some leggings and wear them for the rest of the cycle (and then well into your first trimester). hang in there....

  3. Oh yes - this is the drugs! If you don't get pregnant, it should all be gone in a couple weeks, but we won't worry about that - you will be pregnant! There were a couple days that a belly band thing was very useful...

  5. Yuck. I am usually anti-leggings (because my thighs are like tree trunks and I just can't pull them off) but I agree with cgd.

  6. I wish we could wear sweats to work! Did you hear about the jeans made from pajama materials!? I saw an infomercial on TV with those and DH said I should get them. I still don't know what he meant by that but check them out if only for a laugh - https://www.pajamajeans.com/flare/next. I hope you feel better soon and I can't wait to hear your fert report!!!
