On Saturday I was able to begin taking progesterone. This is the pill I talked about earlier that is a vaginal insert. My vagina pill as I like to call it. I had the pleasure of texting my closest family and friends that evening to share with them that I had popped my very first vagina pill! Obviously they were thrilled that I shared this TMI with them. Not to mention I was able to share with them the next day, Mother’s Day, that my vagina pill was tearing me up…also known as it burned going in…evidently a normal side effect.
Ever since the IUI transfers I had been feeling discomfort. This did not alarm me because of how much activity my insides had seen with the speculum. I experienced constipation for two solid days along with bloating. My constipation has resolved as well as my bloat as of this morning. But my boobs are tender and seem to be bigger. This is the part that down right stinks!
The dreaded two-week wait. A roller coaster of 14 days that could change your life for better or worse…Our fate lies with May 24th. Until that day arrives I will do my best not to over think why I slept in this morning, why my lower back is hurting so much, and why I my appetite seems to be a bit hearty. Or why my boobs are tender and seem bigger. I keep telling myself it is too early to tell…this is all just in my head. I am doing my best to stay realistic. The chances of becoming pregnant with IUI are 20%…20%. I know I said I am over percentages, over numbers…but right now I have to remain realistic. And the numbers are the only thing that are keeping my wondering mind grounded.
We love you Bear, Jackie, and Peanut!
