Just a quick update to say that I am feeling good! I have some random waves of nausea, but it's nothing awful. I'm thinking because I've been on hormones since late May, my body has slowly been adjusting to increased levels (at least that's what I'm telling myself). I realize that things could take a turn at any point, and that it's still very early, but I'm feeling incredibly grateful for how good I feel. I was also taken off of the daily progesterone injections and switched to suppositories three times a day. This has been a HUGE quality of life boost. The injections were incredibly difficult on my body. I was having a hard time getting out of the car, rolling over in bed, walking, lifting my kids...it affected my mobility in a way I just wasn't prepared for. The switch to suppositories has been so liberating!
I did have a brief scare where we thought it might be an ectopic pregnancy because the injection sites were actually causing nerve pain on my left side. I went in for an ultrasound, though, and the doctor confirmed one gestational sac in my uterus. We go back in on 10/13 to confirm a heartbeat. Until then...
