BFP after IVF, severe nausea!

I'm just wondering if anyone is suffering from severe nausea?
Im not even being sick a lot, infact I'm trying to be in the hope that it eases the symptoms. It's awful from the moment I wake up until I go to bed it's there, I even wake up with the feeling on and off. I'm have to force myself to eat and eating anything results in heartburn and it's like I'm almost sick but it goes back down leaving me with the sick taste and then the heartburn gets worse.
I have quite a physical job and even though I've been moved onto lighter duties,I'm suffering at work with the bending, lifting and being on my feet pretty much all night.
To make matters worse, people are making fun of me "oh your just pregnant, stop being a hypochondriac". "Everybody else managed, why are you being so dramatic". I've not even said anything, i just look like a bag of crap, I'm white as a ghost and not really engaging in conversations, just trying to get through the night. People are making an effort to ask me if I'm okay because I don't look right then saying this, ugh.
There was a woman last year who was pregnant and had no sickness, no exhaustion, could eat anything and boasted about how great she felt but refused to do anything and just sat down all night and expected everything done for her. A lot of people got p'd off really quickly and were so mean to her. I've not done any of that, I've done all my work and got on with it the best I can but now their favourite line is "oh my god your the next H"
Im taking the meds until 12 weeks as advised by the Fertily clinic but I'm on quite a high dose of Progynova and I'm wondering if this is a contributing factor. Has anyone else had this and it's eased off after they stopped taking the meds? I'm hoping it does!
I'm so happy we are here in our journey and I do sound like a moany cow because I know there are people who would give anything to be here. I was one of those people. Im just venting and looking for people who have been in a similar situation that can offer some advise as to when it will get better!

Sorry to say but you may have a bad case of morning sickness aka actually all day sickness. Or perhaps hg. Really hope you don't have hg.
Just look after yourself and try and ignore the idiots who assume everyone has the identical pregnancy experience x

I hope not, I think people that have HG are vomiting all of the time. I feel like I'm constantly on the cusp of that all day. I've only been sick a handful of times this week and it's normally after work.
I'm trying my best, my husband is so supportive. He keeps telling me just to rest and take time off if I don't feel up to it. He says I've got nothing to prove to anyone and being well is more important. We've had a long 4years of ttc naturally and luckily our ivf worked with the second embryo.

I think your dh is right!

I'm not medical but perhaps there is a continuum from morning sickness to hg. Whatever, it's pretty grim. You really do need to put your needs first. You are making an entire human being! This is the start of a long road of priorities shifting (that's how it's been for me anyway)
Look after yourself! X

Do you think you may be carrying twins?

Your husband is absolutely right about work. It could even be the stress of the work situation contributing to how you feel.
