Symptom Check
Let’s do a quick run-down on what’s going on in my body, just for posterity.
1) Sore boobage. Had that since egg retrieval. Soooore boobs.
2) Very “regular” digestive system. Every morning, a couple of hours after I get up, I have to RUN to the bathroom because my stomach demands it. And usually I have to do it again a few hours later, too. (The nausea/throw-up has diminished, so I think that was just the bloating/overeating at work.)
3) I’m feeling little pangs/twinges in my lower abdomen. Sometimes it kinda feels like my ovaries (which are probably still shrinking), sometimes it’s more in the center. Today my uterus felt “tight” for a little bit. Not a cramp, but just… tightness.
4) No spotting whatsoever. Which doesn’t surprize me, because of the progesterone suppositories.
5) Excessive clutziness. I blame that on my stress/nerves. I find my hands aren’t grabbing things right, things are slipping out of my grip, I’m knocking things over frequently. It’s driving me a little nuts. And let’s not mention the walking-into-and-tripping-over-everything-possible. Though really, did the dog HAVE to leave my purse in the middle of the doorway?
6) I’m not breaking out, except on the days that I wear sunscreen… I’ve been good at washing my face twice a day because the heat is making me sweaty. Sweat + face pores = zits, so I’m keeping myself very clean. I’ve just ordered Proactiv sunscreen for my face in the hopes that’ll solve that problem. I have FAIR FAIR skin so sunscreen is a must… too bad Proactiv only sells 15 and 30. I usually wear 45.
7) Temper is short. I’m just getting so frustrated with things in general, throwing little mini-fits. Right now it’s normally the dogs who are causing it… I don’t know if my reactions are off or if their behavior is unusually bad, but they are being total BRATS lately. (Except right now, two dogs and a cat are asleep around me in the bedroom, thank goodness. I’ve done quite enough yelling lately. Actually, my dog’s head is asleep against my cat’s butt. Snort.) I haven’t quite cried yet, but there are moments during the day when I feel like randomly bursting into tears for no reason. Usually worrying about testing.
So other than the plethora of bruises (both from me hitting things and two kamikaze dogs who are apparently trying to KILL ME – long story, let’s just say we had two leash incidents recently that involved me getting hurt) and those listed above I’m feeling normal I guess.
You are almost there. I hope that the next two days pass quickly.
