Next appt. is this week :)

We see the high risk ob/gyn this week!! He'll go over the meds I am taking and tweak them if need be. So far, my pressure has been doing great with the new medicine.....and with not too many side effects!! The insulin will most likey have to be tweaked the most. My sugars are still high in the mornings, and I started taking the long acting insulin at night the help with it.

I'll update on how it goes!!

*appt. is October 2nd

New med

Well, I started my new blood pressure med last night and so far my pressure is doing well. The new pill will still cause swelling, which is yucky, but if it helps control my pressure i'll take the swelling!!! LOL

Ugh.....

The last doctor visit we had they gave me a second blood pressure med to take along with the Methyldopa, called Pindolol. Well, for the first week or so it was working great......my pressures were good, and my headaches went away. The downside to it was swelling.....my feet are HUGE and they hurt when I walk!!! My hands are swollen as well, so much so that I can't wear my wedding ring. :( Also, a few nights ago I noticed when I was laying in bed I could feel my heart beating inside my ears and my headaches were coming back. I got up last night and checked my pressure and it was way too high. I checked it again this morning and it was still up! So, we called the doctor's office and told them all that has been going on. They said to stop taking the new med immediately and they would call me in a prescription for a new pill that I should start right away. *sigh* I'm really starting to worry I won't be able to get my pressure under control and we won't be able to try for another little one......hopefully this new medicine will help control it better.

It's official

WE ARE TTC!!!! The IUD came out super easy last month and we're now all set!! I'm still working on getting my meds straightened out, mainly the insulin, but for the most we're all good to go.


AF started as of yesterday, or at least I think she has. I was really hoping getting the IUD out would get AF back on track, but so far it's like it has been.....she better work herself out!!!!! >:(

Anyhoo, here we go!!!!!!!!
