6 weeks!

Today I am officially 6 weeks pregnant!! I knew that I was probably pregnant again before I was 4 weeks so I just had to take a pregnancy test to show that I wasn't just crazy. I told Steven that we couldn't get to excited at that time because I just knew that I was going to start bleeding right in time for my period. That is what has happend every other time. Well That saturday came and went, and no bleeding, then sunday, monday, tuesday... Well you get the point. I decided to call the doctor because I wanted to get blood drawn just to make sure that my progeserone wasn't low or anything. He told me that he was just going to give me a prescription for prometrium, which is a progesterone pill. I do kind of wish that they would have drawn my blood so that I could know if that was really the problem. I'm not sure if the prometrium is the only thing keeping me from bleeding, or if this pregnancy is really valid. I have my 1st appt. in the beggining of October, so I guess I will know for sure by then!

My pregnancy symptoms are getting a little more severe. I thought that I was feeling tired at the beginning of last week... I didn't know what it was to really be tired. I am EXHAUSTED! If I could I would just lay down all day and sleep. That would make me happy! Today I have been feeling a little nauseous as well. Nothing serious, but some foods that I normally crave all of the time don't sound very appetizing right now. Well hopefully this ends well.

  1. Sound good! So, how are you liking the symptoms of pregnancy now? I kind of feel that way sometimes too, but it's just menopause.

    The thing about the progesterone is that if you were to take a pregnancy test today and it was positive, then you would know that the problems of the past were lutein phase deficiency, which means your body didn't really know not to menstruate because your follicles didn't produce the progesterone like it was supposed to. I think the fact that you are still pregnant and sick is a really good sign.

    If you get too much sicker - like not being able to eat without throwing it up - then I'm predicting its a boy.
