Can Ovulation Make You Want to Vomit?

Hmmm….

When checking my stats and referring addresses, one of the referring addresses for my blog was from Ask.com. “Wow” I thought to myself, “I must really have had something important to say.” NOT.

The query that triggered the hit on my blog was “Can Ovulation Make You Want to Vomit?”

The blog entries that came up did in deed contain the word “vomit” as in “Do you have one of these people in your office (life, etc…)? What I mean is the type of person who uses you as an emotional vomit bag?” And of course, the blog is replete with references to ovulation. But the blog entries did not answer the question posed.

So, can ovulation make you want to vomit? Well, I’m no authority, but I’ll say in certain instances it can. I cite the following examples:

What, no kiss this time?

It appears that the universe is giving another nice, big, uncomfortable ass fucking: I already ovulated. So, another month down the tube and not even the possibility of a positive pregnancy test to make me feel better about my upcoming due date. Which, in case you forgot, is April 9th.

Oh, and today is April fool's day. Last year on this date, I had another bad ultrasound; the D and C was the next day.

Fuck fuck fuck.

Or, how about this example:

Day 9: I knew it was too easy

This morning's appointment went great. I was the first patient seen, and the two doctors on duty were total sweethearts, patting me and making much of my admirable work thus far. "Excellent stim," said one, squeezing my shoulder. She said she thought we'd likely trigger Tuesday night, with either four or five mature follicles in play. I left with a warm glow and a pleasantly purposeful feel in my pelvic region.

But then, splashing ice cold sulfuric acid all over my lovely glow, she called later with my estradiol level. It's gone from 641 on Friday — respectable and encouraging — to 490 today.

You may not know this if you haven't run the gauntlet of infertility treatment, but your estradiol level (E2) is supposed to increase until ovulation, at which point it'll go down and progesterone will begin to rise. A drop in the E2 level likely means that my uppity ovaries are ovulating, long before they have been given official leave to do so….

So, indeed, as you can see, there are times, when, yes, ovulation can make you want to vomit.

Hi! I found your blog through The Infertile Gourmet. I liked your writing style, so I read back to the beginning of your DE hunt to get an idea of the DE experience, since that's where I'm headed. I think you used the same RE that my GC used for local monitoring and it sounds like you have the same peri, too. I just wanted to wish you good luck, you've been through so much. Stop by my blog anytime!
