Today I have GOOD NEWS!! Isn't that wonderful?

 

Monday, I was in the midst of dealing with my horrible health care system. All I wanted was someone to reach my doctor to prescribe some progesterone to help stop the bleeding. It's not 100% effective but it's better than BCPs for me. At the end of the day, I finally got some results! They called the prescription in to my local pharm. and I could pick it up on Tuesday. Monday was a good day because the bleeding was moderate (what I used to call heavy back in the days before my uterus went dysfunctional). I wasn't having any pain either. First day in a long, long time. Of course, the pattern in the last two months has been one day of "rest" three days of profuse bleeding. So I knew it would be short lived.

 

Tuesday, I had a crazy busy day; 11 hours of work, errands on my way home, and our daughter's first softball game (btw, she was stunning). Finally after the kids were asleep and we had our PJs on, it occurred to me that I never picked up my very important prescription. Knowing that I have been exhausted, WW put her cloths back on and drove to the drug store to get it. She also took the trash out and cleaned the cat box. That's one of the reasons I call her WonderWoman. I took the 10 mg Progestin (synthetic progesterone) at 10 pm. I realized that the bleeding over the course of the day has slowed down to light, without pain.

 

Wednesday, I was down to spotting without pain!! All day it just became less and less with nothing to show on the CSI wipe.

 

Today, nothing, no blood, no pain, nothing.

 

This makes me so happy, for so many reasons! First, I believe my body and my progesterone levels have begun to self-correct. After all, the bleeding started stopping long before I took the first pill. This is good news for me and my ute. I need my body to produce it's own hormones and keep ovulating until we get this baby situation worked out. Secondly, it is so good to be bleeding-free and pain-free!! The pain was awful. I also feel better emotionally. I have been so f'ed up. My emotions have been all over the place, but mostly down. Like it our not, our emotions are, to a certain point, dictated by hormones, and I need all of them. Last, but not least, (the prudish should turn away from the screen now)...SEX! It's been a long, long, long, long, long time. I almost forgot how it is done.

 

I still have my endometrial biopsy coming up. Hopefully all will be clear.
