So, aside from the Pox On Our House (POOH) right now, my nausea has abated. Please don't go through any kind of intellectual exercise on what that might mean . . . if I am pregnant or not. I already did that, and Erik said, "Maybe God is just helping you have an easier day." Right-to!
FYI, I am on progesterone. Progesterone causes constipation. Constipation leads to hemorrhoids. And, if you are a lucky experienced sufferer of hemorrhoids from a previous IVF round or pregnancy, then you know exactly what I mean.
In case you didn't know that among the sprays, creams, and other topical issues for hemorrhoids. There is a CHAIR that lauds hemorrhoid relief. It is called the Lillypad. (image from website)
If that doesn't bring you relief, know full well that many women before us suffered from this malady. And, no, knowing that doesn't make it easier for me either.

And, today, I was lucky enough to have a suspicion confirmed. I am allergic to sesame oil. My progesterone shots are based in sesame oil. I have been getting welts on my butt with each progesterone shot, and the welts keep getting bigger. Today, I had a sweet one that was 3 inches in diameter, red, and puffy and painful.
So, three hours on the phone with the fertility clinic and the insurance company, I think that I am getting progesterone in olive oil. But, I don't know if the prescription has been called in yet or when I'll get the new stuff.
So, here is hoping the prescription gets called in timely enough for a tomorrow delivery. Who wants to bet how big the next welt will be?
