Let's hear 'em...

(Secretly hoping this GIF works.  I've been on TB for five years and this is my first attempt at a GIF.)

    I'm stopping my PIO injections 6 days before I was supposed to.   I aspirated blood into the syringe for the second damn time last night (this means the end of the needle was in a vein instead of just the muscle which is bad) so I swapped things out and moved over and did the shot in a different place - this time I got the muscle. But something went weird with one of the two shots because I definitely got some oil in my blood stream. I had a coughing fit for like half an hour along with a serious hot flash. This means the oil went through my blood stream and into my lungs. That shit is scary and I'm effing over it. At this point I don't think 6 days will matter especially since most REs have you stop at 10 weeks anyways. Apparently as little as 3ccs can be lethal to inject in your blood stream and I'm on 2ccs.  So it's not life threatening but it's painful and frightening.

    Sorry Progesterone In Oil.  They are intramuscular injections  that many women who go through IVF have to do for the first 9-12 weeks of pregnancy.

    @antoto Oh wow, again?!? That's scary as hell. I don't know anything about PIO injections but I agree that if there is a range of how long REs say to take them and you made it anywhere into that range, the rest is probably just an RE preference thing. Especially since you don't know for sure that progesterone was ever an issue for you in the first place (unless I missed something).

    @antoto my RE doesn't even have us as pirate before injecting because it's so unlikely to get into the blood stream in your glutes. When I was a nurse I always aspirated and literally never drew back blood. That's so crazy that it's happened to you twice! I think you're totally fine to stop early, I stopped at 10 weeks and it was blissful!

    I don't even know how or why I'm so unlucky with this.  Like am I not going far enough in?  WTF? I put the needle all the way in how could it not be deep enough?

    And now my mom is giving me a massive guilt trip about wanting to stop.  Ughhhhh.  I'm tempted to see if my RE can just give me 6 suppositories for the remaining days.

    @antoto Seriously, I wouldn't stress about it or feel guilty. That is scary and it's only SIX DAYS early! I would be more worried about doing it a third time than the 6 days.

    @antoto, how far along are you, and was this fresh or frozen (sorry I can't remember) 
    the only reason my doctor had me go to 12weeks instead of 10w was my SCH. I stopped 3 days early because I ran out of meds and he said it was fine. I never hit a vein, but I burst capillaries several times and shot blood across my bathroom... I'm glad to be done with all of that!

    We've watched tv all day today because I feel like crap. Apparently I caught DD's cold, hopefully without pink eye. DS wasn't feeling great last night, so let the fun begin, I guess.

    Oh and this is after week 1 (which has not even been a full week) of school. Ughhhhhh.  :s

    I scheduled a massage for when I'm working remotely on Monday. I also have my midwife appointment. But, it looks like I have to catch up on some work over the weekend, so I don't feel guilty.

    I had a FET!  I'm 11 weeks today and I also have/had a very small SCH.  Lord I have definitely burst capillaries.  One night I absolutely drenched my couch in blood.  Oops. I didn't know that progesterone can help SCHs.  Interesting.

    @antoto six days!? I'm sure you could use suppositories instead! I tapered starting at nine weeks and then completely stopped at 10. Hopefully they give you a solution!

    @antoto Ugh that sucks. 

    My FFFC: I signed my students up for stuff today that I was supposed to wait until Tuesday to do. Oops. (JK I did it on purpose because a. things fill up and b. the system changed and now it takes 5x as long to do as last year)

    @kalawa the four main food groups are carbs, fat, salt, and deliciousness after all. McDonald's is always a good choice.

    @antoto did they say why?? That's so weird!

    also, try only putting the needle half way in rather than all the way. I had good luck doing that.

    @antoto I got to taper mine off to every other day.... do you think you could ask them if that was ok??? I feel you though, I still have to massage my booty every once in a while. 

    FFFC: My 11 year old goddaughter keeps texting me if she can come over. I am so tired at the end of the day I have to tell her no. I feel like a terrible person but I am so out of energy by 6pm it's all I have to get home. I can't even comprehend driving 40 extra minutes to pick her up. Ugh. Maybe this weekend....

    I have been craving fountain drink orange High C. McDonalds doesn't carry it anymore, but I finally found it at Burger King. I was so excited that I filled up 2 large cups when I left plus my daughters sippy cup!
