Getting so close!!!

Only 8 more days until my IUD comes out!!! I can't believe we are so close to starting TTC. Part of me is actually getting a little nervous....isn't that silly?!? We've been wanting another little one for so long, and yet now that the time is close i'm nervous about it!

I see our family doctor first next Thursday, so hopefully i'll get my meds readjusted. This blood pressure pill is kicking my butt! I am now taking 2 pills in the am and 2 in the pm and my pressure is still a little up there. Plus, it makes me SO drowsy!!! I can barely hold my head up and keep my eyes open during the day. At night I don't mind being drowsy since it helps me get a good nights sleep. But during the day I end up taking a small nap, which is so not like me! I do remember taking HCTZ with the Methyldopa when I was pregnant before, so i'm going to ask about taking that to help with the other side effect I have....swollen feet. :( I don't remember dealing with swelling before, and now I know it was because I was taking HCTZ. So, i'll be sure to get that adjusted, as well as the insulin, next Thursday. :)

Ick!!

Well, I had to bump up my blood pressure meds to 4 a day instead of two. My pressure was up this morning, so I decided to go ahead and take the extra two pills. Plus, my sugar was up to 175 this morning, so I decided to take 5 units of insulin to help bring it down. So far the side effects of the blood pressure meds are kicking my butt!!! I am SO wiped out it's unreal.....I feel like laying acroos the bed, turning the fans on and passing out! LOL Not how I need to feel since I still have some cleaning to do before our comapny gets here this Sunday! Plus, the meds make my feet feel so jumpy....like I have to move them constantly. Ahh, well. I know i'm taking them for a good reason, and that it is only temporary afterall......I can do this!! :)



22 days until the IUD comes out!!!

Started new meds today

So, I started on the methyldopa this morning. Right now I only take two a day, one in the morning and one at night. I need to monitor my pressure at home to see how it does. So far no yucky side effects, but of course it's still soon since I took my first pill this morning! LOL I am now off of all of my sugar pills and haven't started the insulin yet. The doctor said I shouldn't start it until my fasting sugars creep up to the 200's and so far they are staying between 135-145. I may actually start taking it pretty soon, though.....I don't like my fasting sugars being that high. :(

I also started taking prenatal vitamins again as of Saturday night......it's getting close!!!!

My first post!!

Well, I decided to start a seperate blog to document our TTC journey. I will still be writing in my other blog, but will do all the TTC posts here. :)
