Inching Along...and symptoms for 5weeks 4 days

Time seems to be just draggggggggggggging. Ugh. My days are pretty much various freaking out episodes (no thanks to dr. google - yes I know I shouldn't have but I did) and trying to be happy about my situation. How will I ever get through 9 months? Hopefully this will get better as things move along. And hopefully I won't have a panic attack every time I have to go to the hospital where my doctor's office is located. Tonight I had to go to the pharmacy there to get a refund on my progesterone (thanks to winning at cigna's "game") since my doctor cleared it for coverage. Yay for me a savings of about $150. Anyways I just felt so completely depressed being there not that I hadn't been there since my dreaded visit when I found out that I miscarried but strangely enough this visit brought back all those terrible memories. I think I just need to take 1 day at a time and work through these things and work with my head to calm down.

Maybe listing these every few days will help me relax. I tend to relax more when I make lists...hmmm isn't that strange.

5 Week symptoms:
  • breast tenderness never really went away and came back a little stronger now that I'm back from my winter weekend. Maybe it was the freezing weather that was causing numbness and that's why I couldn't feel much tenderness :)
  • slight dull headache today - of course this could be connected to the progesterone; it's so hard to tell.
  • burping - not major but a little more than I would say I normally do.
  • stuffy nose - still have a slight case of this
  • food craving? Don't know if this is me or the little one but I've been on this Greek/Lebanese food kick. I can't get enough baba ganoush...what the hell? It could be me though...

How does anyone survive 9 months of this? My freakouts are starting to eat me alive. I hope one day at a time and list-making work for you in terms of calming down the freakouts!

Burping was a sign for me last time and this -- I feel sick, then I burp.
