Hello my beautiful readers!
I am very sick, again. I finished my steroids on Wednesday and today is Saturday. I have had a headache since taking my last pill. My entire head feels like it is both on fire and being squeezed. I took a muscle relaxer this morning because my neck is so tight that yesterday when my husband touched me, it was immediate pain that hasn't subsided.
Tuesday we went to see the OB and he gave great news! I do not have any bacteria that is causing my strange discharge and light spotting. He suggested a few days of Aleve to relieve some of the inflammation from the D & C. Crazy that I am still inflamed from something that happened 9 weeks ago now. So I took one Aleve Tuesday but have not taken any since because Aleve is an N-SAID (Nonsteriodal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) and I don't take those typically, because of my Crohn's.
The Doctor tested my hormones from my thyroid which were right where they should be. He suggested early testing with our next pregnancy to make sure that my hormones are where they should be at that time. He suggested a shot to help support the pregnancy early on if they are not where they should be.
My mother had these shots with her last pregnancy and still lost the baby at 13 weeks.
She had to have them because she lost one of her ovaries with her pregnancy with me because I had a twin who was ectopic. My mom almost died as a result of her tube rupturing and I am sure that it added to my health issues, I was born with two holes in my heart which seems consistent with a short disruption in my growth from the loss of my twin early on. I also think that may add to why I have Crohn's Disease since I am the only one in my family that suffers from the disease.
I guess we will see soon where my hormones are but right now everything seems perfect for going back to trying and they look forward to a prenatal appointment soon.
I sure do!
I hope to get my headaches under control today. I am at least up and trying to resume normal life. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I just sat around in bed and whenever I got up to do something I ended up laying down very quickly.
I also have my diarrhea and severe bloating back and a lot of pain that I think is associated with Crohn's. I am going to just wait it out since I am back on the Imuran. The pain and diarrhea should subside soon. I will stick to a light, low fiber diet in the meantime.
We bought a secondhand sectional couch today. I am very excited about our new large couch. Now when we have company over we will have a large couch in our living room to entertain in.
We also redesigned the whole main floor of our home and had new skylights installed last week. Our home is finally really becoming our "family" home. We now have a breakfast nook/coffee/lounging/office area for me. I am hoping to have some company over once Coronavirus is not so rampant.
Our home has really come together the last couple months. I am definitely nesting. As I am sure many homes are, since we are spending more time at home than we ever have before. Getting the most use out of our homes.
We started painting my husband's bathroom last week but stopped because of the heat, yesterday was our first day not in the 90's in over a week, and our health not feeling 100. I will finish painting it by myself when he returns to work on Monday because I think it will be easier to just have one person working in there. It is very small and it's hard to keep ventilation up when we are both on top of each other all the time.
The bathroom was painted a very dark grey, including the ceiling so we have done two layers now but I think it will still take one more layer to not have any color bleed through. Mostly high up on the walls and on the trim.
I do dream about why I lost my twins every night. I thought it would be traumatic and upsetting to dream about but somehow I wake up at peace and with hope. I am still very anxious to have a new pregnancy. We are trying still but without having a period I am really struggling to figure out when I might ovulate. I feel like I have ovulated almost weekly, and seeing as I have not gotten a period or a positive pregnancy test yet I am guessing that I am wrong about those feelings.
I hope a period comes soon so I can start really tracking my cycles and know what to expect rather than just flying by, waiting for anything to happen. I am wasting too many pregnancy tests because I am scared to miss if I were to fall pregnant and continue painting or drinking coffee and soda when I plan to stop drinking both.
