All is well on the bleeding front. It has pretty much stopped, I occasionally get a khaki-colored bit of discharge, but that is no biggie. Anything in the brown family (khaki, fawn, beige, etc) is ok with me.
Granted, I've been very lazy since Tuesday. Taking it super easy. Not really leaving the house much, trying to stay as sedentary as possible. Thank your chosen deity that I have the flexibility in my life to do this.
I went in for monitoring of e2 and p4 on Thursday. My e2 continues to rise, which means my body is kicking some of it in on its own. I'm up to 1074, up from 781 last week, while on the same 4 patches. So beginning next Tuesday, I will cut down to 3 patches. Then check again next Thursday. Yay for less patches. Mr. P calls me "Patches McSticky" because I have either actual patches or leftover sticky residue all over my torso. Yuck. I swear, I'd rather do a shot any day over these yucky things.
As for the p4: After the bleeding nightmare of Tuesday, I stopped the prome.trium suppositories. I was just not keen at all to stick something up my fragile lady bits. So no surprise that my p4 went down, from 51 last week to 32.9. Still in a respectable range, but lower. So I stay on 1.5cc of PIO for at least the next week. Hopefully the placenta kicks in soon and the p4 goes up. And like I said, I am so happy to be done with the suppositories, I'd much rather stay on the PIO than deal with all the leaking goop of the suppositories.
So that's what is going on. Symptoms continue - nausea has kicked up a bit more, and I have to eat something small every 2-ish hours to keep from having the overwhelming HUNGER that comes. Still tired, although I've slept well the last few nights. I've fallen asleep so early. I'm sure the insomnia isn't gone forever, but I'm happy it is taking a break.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

LOL on the colourful rainbow of acceptable spotting colours!
ReplyDeleteI would disagree with you, I would gladly be a McSticky to not have the shots. I HATE needles. I'm on e2 2x a week with a needle that is from Denver to Toronto!
So good to hear that I am not the only insomnia freak, its exhausting.
I'm glad you can handle the PIO. It's my _kryptonite_ fer sure! I'm good the first couple of days, and then it goes down hill quickly. I DREAD them. As much as my miscarriages broke my heart, there was a sliver of me that was almost happy, because I could stop the shots. Wicked, I know. I feel like a bad person.
ReplyDeleteI am rooting for your levels to stay strong, to grow! And for the baby to keep on keeping on!
Yeah for khaki!!! Hope this is the last of it and you have smooth sailing from here on out!
ReplyDeleteha! i also laughed at the colour spectrum of acceptable spotting!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing well Pie and i'm so pleased you are taking it easy and giving your body the rest it needs. xxx
Glad things are looking up. Not to be nosy (!) but do you work? I'm glad you're able to get the rest you need!
ReplyDeleteHi there! Sorry I have been so quiet. I did read Tuesday's update and have been worried about you; was relieved to read this one late last night. So glad everything is getting better now. I'm glad you were able to take it easy this week. Hope you can keep doing that for as long as you need to!
ReplyDeleteJust checking in on you to see how you are doing. Hope you are still having some great pg symptoms.
