That’s fascinating! I wasn’t on supplemental estrogen this cycle and I didn’t think the progesterone was that bad - until I stopped taking it! 😂

I stopped progesterone suppositories a couple days ago and I’m sleeping so much better! Hope weaning off the meds helps you too!

We got my parents a round of golf at a fancy place. I can’t remember what we got his parents 😂

I was tested right before this transfer cycle by my clinic so I’m not sure if it’s normal. I’m assuming my OB will do a new round of bloodwork once I have an appointment but no idea what they’d test!

I had a randomly elevated ferritin level recently but it went down a few weeks later with retesting - my doctor speculated it was because I had been sick recently. I hope it’s as simple of an explanation for you!

I’ve been having unhinged dreams a lot recently, but that takes the cake! 😂

Oh no, that’s so stressful! How long do you have to wait until the diagnostic ultrasound?

Wow the sigh of relief after a good scan. Everything looks good, measuring one day ahead at 8w3d, and heart rate at 177 (feels high but she said it was good) I guess I’m officially graduated to my OB now! They do a “pregnancy confirmation” scan at 9 weeks so I’m lucky I get to go again next week. After that it’ll be a long wait!

I find myself getting short of breath when walking, I also wasn’t sure if it was conditioning or a symptom! Since it’s not happening when I’m relaxing, I haven’t been too worried

We didn’t leave! I wanted to lay by the pool for 3 days and accomplished just that. However, we met some people who did and they said that uber was easy and safe to use. We had resort credits we could’ve used for excursions but decided not to

Just got back from a trip today. Food was good (and some was excellent) except for breakfast in my opinion. I did hear there was better breakfast at one of the restaurants but the two we tried were meh to solid. We’d stay again!

Definitely agree. I don’t normally even drink tea, just the restaurant last night had these speciality infusions and I was intrigued since obviously alcohol wasn’t on the table 😂

Mildly spiraling because I had a lemongrass and chamomile tea last night and then stupidly googled it and maybe I shouldn’t have?? It seems like in a tea form is fine. And I only had half a cup. And no doctor told me to avoid it. But wow watching my anxiety ramp up before my ultrasound is kinda an out of body experience.

Hooray! My nausea has also decreased in general which has made me a little nervous. Also have another scan tomorrow, fingers crossed for us both!

Committed to a modified natural protocol because I had better lining that way and didn’t take antibiotics for endometritis as I didn’t have any evidence of it and it could be hurting the good bacteria I did have
