Wow. My uterus and the progesterone are having a fight. No - an all out war. My uterus clearly wants my period to start. (We are on Day 28 and that poor girl is used to starting somewhere between Day 21-24). The progesterone is designed to specifically STOP my period from coming. So far the progesterone is winning, but my uterus sure is putting up one hell of a fight.
To say I have cramps is quite the understatement. I was wincing in a meeting this afternoon. I usually have cramps for about the hour or 2 when my period is starting - and that's it. They're tolerable - and I know they won't last long. Since my period is not starting (thank you progesterone), I sure hope this doesn't last until the pregnancy test on Tuesday. Because my usual remedies for cramps are off limits right now (namely advil and red wine).
The good news is that I am out of my fog of depression. Really, I think it's progress that I am able to identify it now. And I knew it was because of the drugs this time. I think I've been depressed before, but I didn't know it. Now I know what it's like and I think that's key.
So my head is okay - but my mid-section is in great turmoil. I'm really thinking that cramps this bad count me out, but it's not over until I get the official word on the 8th. Let's hope my uterus surrenders before then.

I'll drink a glass of red wine in your honor with a toast and a prayer that cramps are related to some attachment going on!!!
Love,
