4 weeks

Warning: Some of this information is a little much. Sorry!!: )

It is still really early and besides the blood test we have not received any visible confirmation but I wanted to document some of the symptoms I have been feeling so far. The progesterone has caused a lot of symptoms that are identical to early pregnancy symptoms but as of Saturday I started to notice some changes.

Symptoms:

• My boobs were already swollen and sore but they started to change shape and become more round. The nipple seems to have expanded and they have developed these white dots that almost look like white-heads.
• My stomach continues to look like I am 4 months pregnant.
• I have new white discharge. (Sorry, gross I know.)
• I have been waking up fine in the morning and having trouble going to sleep but NEED to take a nap after dinner. I have also felt more exhausted in the afternoon to the point where I feel like I could close my eyes and sleep.
• Nausea usually in the morning hours. 

Medication: I am and will continue on 1cc of Progesterone until 12 weeks. In addition, I continue to take a prenatal vitamin and folic acid once a day. 

Nervous: 

• I have slight pulls in my abdomen which are sometimes like dull pain. Nothing like cramps. The nurse told me this is my ovaries because they are still very swollen. She reminded me that I need to continue to be very careful with my activity to prevent them from twisting. 
• When I went for my blood test one of the nurse told me that at the next ultrasound they will look at the placement of the embryos. I have never heard of such a thing so of course I Googled. This is to make sure the embryps have not implanted some place other than the uterus. This is rare but of course now I feel like every pain is really to something not in the right place. 

Upcoming Appointments:

• Wednesday, May 12: Week 5 ultrasound and blood work- View the sacs and the placement. This is the ultrasound where they will be able to see if there is one or two.
