I got my most recent progesterone level from 12 weeks, 2 days and it was only 26.6 ng/mL (zone 2), so I'm still on 100 mg PIO twice a week. It's frustrating to me that after having perfect (actually on the higher side) P+7 levels every time they were tested and a great P+15, my levels seem to be getting worse over time. I'm glad that my levels are being monitored, I just wish my body wasn't continuing to be annoying. I am still having spotting every once in a while; it seems to happen more if I don't drink enough water.
I haven't popped yet (I'm 13 weeks, 5 days), but I definitely can see the bump. I'll probably post a picture in the next few weeks once I do.
October is a really busy month, I'm busy and traveling every weekend this month. My 30th birthday is on Monday (the 11th). We are going to D's cousin's wedding the weekend of Halloween and her reception is a costume one. I have no idea what to wear (I'll be exactly 17 weeks), and I don't want to spend a lot of money. Any ideas would be appreciated.
sorry you got a cold!
ReplyDeleteYou know we all want to see that baby bump! :)
I was just thinking that we hadn't heard from you in a while. Sorry you haven't been feeling well. Nothing worse than an irritating cold. Yes, keep drinking plenty of fluids to keep that spotting away! As for the wedding, you could go as a pregnant chic! I know...not very original.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to get an update from you! I remember a nurse from PPVI telling me that my spotting at one time could have been related to not getting enough water, so I make sure I drink alot of it. She explained the whole process of how it effects the uterus and I finally got it. It really helped. I hope all continues to go well! So glad the vomiting is hopefully a thing of the past and that you are able to eat more. It will get better. So glad you are seeing a bump, how exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI think one of the easiest costumes to go as is a hobo, but that just might not be your style at all!
Can't wait to see the pics! And happy upcoming birthday! Planning a costume wtih a pregnancy is tough, hard to know what size you will be, so hopefully you do something a bit flexible. Sorry, I am no help in this area. I understand stupid prog. My just crawled up this whole pregnancy and I have stayed on 100mg/mL the whole time. Once I resigned myself that I wasn't going off it or even changing dose, I tolerated it better. Glad you are feeing better!
ReplyDeleteGumball machine... Clear trash bag, filled with brightly colored balloon, black tights/pants. So easy, and you can take off the trash bag if you want (to sit down, you either have to take off the bag or move the balloons to the front). :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you have been sick. Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYou could put a box on (decorated as an oven), have your husband put on a baker's hat . . . baker with a bun in the oven. ;) Not comfy at all, but I saw it once on a pregnant lady and it cracked me up. I always wanted to do it myself, but I'd probably try to find something comfy if I were you.
I once saw a pregnant woman dressed as a can of spaghetti sauce...Preggo brand of course. She wore all red and I think she had a flat black hat to represent the lid. She made a sign to hang on the front of her shirt that looked like the label of the jar of Preggo spaghetti sauce. So cute!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see that bump!!
ReplyDeleteAll the costume ideas are great! :) Glad you are starting to feel better! Can't wait to see the bump pic!
