Weaning

I just got the call from my nurse with about my prog and estrogen levels; they were 31.5 and 691.4 respectively.   I'll stay on 2 prometrium and 2 patches through Monday and then wean to down to 1 each on Tues!  We'll check my levels again on Thursday and then if all looks good they will wean me off everything! Kind of scary, but it will be so nice not to have adhesive residue all over my belly and wearing the panty liners 24-7.  Not to mention all the trips to the lab and the follow up this entails.

My energy level has been good today.  My cousin is getting married in a month, so I am trying to get all my dresses and shoes lined up.   I wish I could get my hair highlighted, but probably want to avoid that until I'm at least in my second trimester.   Don't really have much in the way of a bump yet, just look bloated.

Tonight, I am so excited for FlyGirl to deliver her twinks!  http://ivflygirl.blogspot.com/

    Yes, I was just at her hospital today. So excited for her!

    And very happy for you. I hated though suppositories. But, I hated the PIO shots more. (you're lucky there!).

    Anyway, you'll need to celebrate when you "graduate." You know, toast a glass of milk or something. :)

    Very exciting! BTW, if you haven't found a good way to deal w/ the adhesive, I've been putting Goo Gone a Q-tip and rubbing 'em out. Works great!

    Weaning is so exciting!!! It's such a nice change when you're finally off all the hormones. I felt so proud of my body when it got to the point that the doc's thought it could handle the preg all by itself :) Plus, yeah no more meds, patches, sore skin,having to rush home to insert pills, etc. So happy for you!

    tx for your comment earlier turtlemama - can i just ask, why do you say buy directly from the airlines and not from expedia? is it that it's easier to change the tix later if you do so?
