Day 2 Post-Transfer

I wish I could figure out this damn body of mine. My temperature has continued to fluctuate between 98.4 and 99.8 and I'm hoping thats just because of the progesterone and not residual pneumonia. My husband has been amazing since we got home. Before the transfer, I picked a bunch of recipes from the internet and he's made them for me, despite the fact they've ended up being faaaaaar more complicated than I had realized. I haven't gone downstairs since I went upstairs after we got home on Tuesday because he wants me to stay comfortable in bed or in the computer chair. To be honest, I'm getting a little stir crazy. Tomorrow my husband will have shoulder surgery, so I will be the one taking care of him but that's fine with me. I reeeeeeally need to get outside and do something.

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. I hope the manufacturer gets their shit figured out soon because I would like to go back to my old formulation as soon as humanly possible.

Cycle Day 1

Just FYI... this whole blog will be full of Too Much Information. I'm a nursing student struggling with infertility. Literally nothing is off limits for discussion... just ask my friends. I got my period dark and early this morning (4:45am!), two days earlier than I had anticipated. Now I'm writhing in pain and scheduled to go to school in an hour and study for my pharmacology midterm. Today is Saturday, but my midterm is on Monday and I really haven't done as much studying as necessary. It's hard when you're heart just isn't into it.

But wait! There's more!

I found out the other day that, due to some abnormal test results, I need to get a colonoscopy. The earliest appointment that worked for me was November 29th. I would have done it sooner, but all my earlier Wednesday's (it's the only day my doctor does them) are occupied with either school or fertility stuff. AND!!! The effin' appointment isn't until 11am that day.... which sounds awful. I literally eat every 3-4 hours and I am trying to figure out how I will make it the entire previous day without anything aside from clear liquids. I was kind of a mess the day I found that out. Ok, I was reeeeally a mess. I feel extremely overwhelmed with all of this. I have my first two nursing clinicals, two endometrial biopsies, other fertility appointments, a colonoscopy, plus all my usual school and family stuff in November. Also, we would like to go to visit my mom for Thanksgiving, but I really don't know how that will all work.

This Really is the Last Time, I swear.
