No More Progesterone Shots! (For Now...)

Fridays and Tuesdays are my progesterone days, which means Wednesdays and Saturdays are pretty much the peak of my soreness due to those shots.

Today, especially in light of the baby shower tomorrow, I have been dreading going to get my shot, and thinking I might go in there and beg for pills. However, I received a phone call this morning that I do not need to get any more shots!!

I guess my levels are now significantly higher than they need to be, so he's taking me off the shot for the week and then I get my blood tested again next week and we'll go from there.

Thank goodness!!

I hate those shots so much! (of course, I do need to add the necessary disclaimer that I am very grateful for having had them at the beginning of the pregnancy because without them, Baby Michael may never have made it...which is a terrible thought.....so, I can say even moreso that I love those shots so much too!)

The only good thing about getting them again is that they do slow me down quite a bit, which is good for stopping these contractions.

I have noticed my body is getting much more sensitive to my activity. Just being up and about, even without doing strenuous things is causing contractions. Like yesterday, I went into work late, didn't do anything strenuous but sat down pretty much the whole time, and by 4:30, I was in a lot of discomfort. Whereas, the day before, I called in sick and spent the whole day (except from about 3-5) in bed and had no problems at all.

I'll see the doctor on Monday, so we'll decide what to do, but for now, I'm just glad progesterone shots are not part of the equation!

Here's to a fun day tomorrow!
