Tired and it's only Day 1
So I went to the doctor Tuesday for my checkup and everything looked great baby is doing wonderful. Momma however is going crazy. So of course I am high risk and they are monitoring me closely which means every 2 weeks I go see the doctor. Glad I'm getting special attention but annoyed that they keep finding more things. They called me Monday afternoon and said my progesterone was low and I would need to take a medicine for a couple of weeks. Okay great no problem.
While Tuesday morning I went in and of course my blood pressure was high again. So they also want me to monitor that at home because at home it is normal. So 3 times a day I check that and so far so good. I also just got my progesterone medicine yesterday because my pharmacy and insurance just weren't working for me. Not to mention how expensive the medicine is. And I have to take it twice a day.
Oh and did I also mention that since I have PCOS they are concerned about my sugar levels so I have to test that as well, 4 times a day I might add. When I wake up it has to be under 100 before food or anything. Then 2 hours after breakfast, lunch, and dinner which have to be under 130. If I do this for 2-3 days and all my levels come back normal everytime then I can stop.
Today is day 1 with everything. It's already annoying because I already had my medicine schedule and now it's just insane. I have to do all this PLUS continue to take my metformin and prenatals. It's alot to remember in 1 day and of course still go to work and function like a normal person. UGH I'm seriously hoping to just do this a few days then go see her in a week and a half and her be like okay wow that's amazing don't worry about it any more.
But we will see how it goes! Just needed to vent ladies!
Re: Tired and it's only Day 1
Oh my goodness Ashley, I can imagine that would be exhausting.... fingers are crossed that your levels stay "normal" and you can knock off a few of those things. I would have to make a list/set an alarm in my phone reminding me to do all that. </p
Oh, Ashley. I worried about this for you. Hang in there. I know it seems torturous, but you will have a healthy happy baby in 9 months.
AND....then you can remind him/her about this for the rest of their days! </P
