Michael and I found out on September 1st that we are going to have a baby!!! So exciting! I'm 9 weeks this week. I can't even believe it! My first real appointment is on October 23.
I suspected I had low progesterone (because we use NFP & I'm aware of things) so I went to the doctor & she wouldn't test me!!! Which really made me mad because I have 5 symptoms that are all associated with having low prog. But she said even if I did- they can't do anything about it- which is NOT TRUE. So, I started using this natural progesterone cream & got pregnant the first month I used it! so haha Dr. lady... But now I ran out & had to buy a different kind from wal-mart ("menopause formula"- ha) that says do not use if pregnant but I'm afraid if I quit using it abruptly I will have a miscarriage. I can't imagine what affect more progesterone would have on a pregnancy... I think it would be good for it...?
Anyways- at 6 weeks I had to go to the army hospital because I was having some spotting & the clinic here on base sends everyone to the hospital because they can't handle anything! So Michael and I spent the ENTIRE day at the hospital- all they did was take blood & when I finally got to see a doctor he did an ultrasound, so that made it all worth it! We saw the heartbeat & got to keep a picture :). Everything was fine. I started feeling nauseous at 6 weeks & it got really bad this past week. And I had to go to the hospital again because the clinic here thought I might be dehydrated & I lost 3 lbs (I'm apparently underweight already) so they took more blood & 3 hours later I got a prescription for Zophran to help with the nausea. I feel SO much better and I can eat now & get off the couch! But, I have been watching seasons of Friends, because I still lay on the couch a lot because I get tired really easy. I'm on season 7 now.
Last weekend we went to Erin & Cameron's wedding- it was really beautiful!!! I got to be Erin's matron of honor. it was a lot of fun. It makes me want to have another wedding lol.
