Meds

I just received what will be the last PIO vial and last suppositories I will ever have to order. I have 15 days of injections left and after that I think I will switch to oral progesterone for about 2 weeks just to make sure I don't lose this pregnancy before the placenta takes over. THE END OF MEDS IS IN SIGHT. I can't wait to not have to carry around my little black medication kit that I've made myself. It always has at least two syringes, two injection needles, two needles for drawing up the med, two alcohol wipes, cotton balls, bandaids, and the vial of PIO (sometimes two if the first vial is nearly empty). I have to have it because I have to do injections at school. And, starting next Thursday, I will have to do them at clinical, too. But only for two clinicals. My last scheduled day of PIO injections is my 2nd clinical day. I should still have one day of PIO left in that vial, so I will probably also do an injection the next day, too. Also, I think I have about 20 days of progesterone suppositories, so I will continue those until they're gone, too.

I am so excited that I've actually made it to this point. I never thought it would actually work.

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.

6 weeks, 2 days

Not much has been happening here. My new semester started last Monday and it was chaos as usual until Thursday afternoon. Next week I should only need to go to school twice: once for class day and once for lab day. I had to tell my lab instructor about my injections so that I could procure a private space to do my PIO injection that wasn't a totally public restroom. I don't know if he thinks I'm actually pregnant or just trying, but they will all know soon enough. Obviously I'm not showing yet, but I have lost 4lbs so if this keeps up I imagine I will be showing sooner than later because there will be less belly fat to hide the organism * growing inside me. It appears that I'm going to get nausea in the afternoons like I did with my son. I never had sickness in the mornings, just light nausea in the late afternoons. I never threw up like you see newly pregnant women doing in the movies. I would like to find a tea made only from ginger (no hibiscus, no lemongrass,...

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.
