10 Weeks, 1 Day

So, it seems like I have reached a turning point in the pregnancy and it's making me a little nervous. For the past 4 weeks, I have gotten really pretty nauseous/hungry if I didn't eat every 2 hours. But, since yesterday, I've felt really pretty good. It seems like it's too early to be feeling this well. Makes me wonder if something is wrong in there. Yesterday was my last day of injectable meds so if something bad happens because of less progesterone supplementation, I would likely start showing symptoms (spotting, cramping, etc) in the next couple days.

I have my first visit with my OBGYN on Monday morning, so it won't be too long before I will know for sure that everything is ok (or not okay) in there.

Fingers crossed everything is ok.

Oh! I found out yesterday I am not the only pregnant nursing student in my class!!! One of my clinical group buddies is 6 weeks along. I know it's awful to say, but it's nice knowing I won't be the only one people will be whispering about once we start showing. She is super tiny, so I imagine she will start showing not long after me even though she is about a month behind.

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.
