Oct. 25



I got my supplies in the mail today. I would normally have gotten 2 vials of progesterone, but I still have an unopened and unexpired bottle from last year, so I guess that saved me $50 for this cycle?

In a process this expensive, I count even nominal savings as a win.

Progesterone in Ethyl Oleate

Due to a nationwide shortage of my usual progesterone-in-oil, I have been using some compounded stuff that uses ethyl oleate and HOLY SHIT IT HURTS. It goes in a lot easier, but it seriously hurts.

8 Weeks

Things seem to be going fine thus far. I have had some issues figuring out how often I need to eat to prevent getting sick, but it seems like every 1.5 to 2 hours does the trick.

28 Week Appointment

And then it ended up being not totally horrible. I even woke up early today so that I could eat breakfast before I started my 2 hour fasting. Today is also the day I get to meet my new OBGYN. We moved to a new area at the end of last month it was just no longer feasible to see my existing OB, so I had to switch. I really, really liked my old OBGYN, so I hope this new doctor measures up.
