So, I haven't really updated in a while - I've been happily living my life...doing some of the things that will soon be out of my life temporarily. Plus, I'm actually LOVING these meds that I'm on.
The estrogen, those little green pills that I take three times a day, and the patch that's taped to my hip....My hair is shining and not greasy or flaky like it was during those 8 long months off the pill. My hair growth (all over me) has slowed back down to where it was when I was on the pill - totally manageable. And the prometrium (progesterone) is suppressing my appetite (not to mention that I need to fast for 3 hours each time between meals - 2 hours before taking the pill and 1 hour after. So, no more snacking for me - which is working out better than expected - I don't know if it's just that my body is adjusting, or that the pills are making me feel full longer or if it's just that I'm eating more during meals b/c I know I can't snack. But I'm down to my good weight of 98lbs - I'm hoping it lasts until I conceive b/c I'm happy to be back into my jeans that I was in last year - I can wait to go back up into the slightly bigger sizes. And when I stop the prometrium, maybe I'll be able to curve my snacking psychologically too. It's not deprivation - when I eat my meals I indulge and have dessert - it's just not over doing it.
Tomorrow morning, at 6:50am, I need to be in M. for my biopsy of my uterus - so think sticky thoughts. Apparently it's a 10 minute procedure, I'll feel a little crampy, and then be fine. I hope so, b/c then I need to motor back to school for the first day after March Break and get there in time to set up my class and have 8:45am duty. So it will be a VERY early morning and a long first day back at school.
The good news is that after tomorrow, I have one week left on the Prometrium. Then I stop and let AF come, and thus starts my transfer cycle. It's so close! I can almost taste it. Plus, the RE is going to double my estrogen - as though 2mg 3 times a day and a patch isn't enough already. But, whatever it takes to make my lining as thick and welcoming and sticky as possible!
I'll post tomorrow to let you know how the procedure went :) Fingers crossed for smooth sailing.
Hi there. Found your blog this week and am just getting started on my own journey. Haven't had a chance yet to read all of your entries, but I plan to start from the past and work my way forward. In the meantime, feel free to visit my blog at http://babytimebomb.blogspot.com/ if you're interested.(I try to keep it as anonymous as possible.)
