out of the saddle

I fell off the work wagon today.

Got up feeling really tired and stressed and in enormous pain (back)
Remembered I had to give myself three shots.
During shot #1 thought i was going to faint. saw stars, bright lights, heart racing. lie down. feel ok.
During shot #2 thought i was going to faint. saw stars, bright lights, heart racing. severe but short lived headache. lie down. feel ... okish

Phoned in sick & went back to bed.

hcg levels: 26,000
progesterone: 111 (explains back pain - progesterone softens disks)

These numbers are very high for a singleton so tomorrow Dr J will check for another polka dot and then we have to do ectopic checks.

Oh good, some drama to focus on!!

  6. Yikes! That's a big number. I was exhausted with one. Really, just exhausted, close the door, lay down on the floor of my office exhausted; go home and sleep for 2 hours before dinner exhausted; you obviously get the picture. I can't imagine how it woudl be with (maybe) two! Take care. With love,

  11. Wow, okay, take it easy. You ARE pregnant, you know (as if I need to remind you). I'm glad you called in sick to work. Take care of your back...pregnancy will be hard enough on it.

    Incredible numbers! I can hardly wait for tomorrow's u/s to find out just how many of those embies took! And if heart beat(s) are visible!
