BABY!!

Ok, so it's not a baby just yet... still just an embryo... BUT OMG LOOK IT HAS A HEARTBEAT.
I still can't believe it actually worked. I'm pretty sure it's going to take me a little while longer until I actually believe this is real. The chance of miscarriage drops once you see the heartbeat, but I still have 5ish weeks until I'm out of the danger zone.

I guess I can try to relax about all this now. I will try to start doing yoga again soon because I think that will help with my stress levels.

Also, they gave me a Rhogam shot today because I had been spotting, but it was really just to be cautious.

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! pt 3

After everything else!!! Now I have pneumonia!!! Granted, it's just technically "walking pneumonia", but this cough is horrible and I cannot WAIT to be feeling better. I started on antibiotics and have the super spiffy codeine cough syrup to help me through it. I'm hoping to feel better by Sunday so that I actually have a chance of studying for my last final on Tuesday. I'd like to earn a 4.0 GPA this semester. It would be a good thing for my overall GPA (3.65).
