Update.

We had our progesterone shot this morning and, praise God, it went off without a hitch. I had put on this numbing creme and I literally did not feel a thing. We also ended up using a smaller gauge needle, which may have helped.

But because of the timing of when I need to do my am shots, Tygh will not be able to do them. So my co-worker/friend has graciously offered to do the am ones for me. Tomorrow, I'll be lying on the floor of my office, door shut, with my dear friend angling a needle at my bum. Sounds lovely.

And my thyroid. Boy oh boy. I still don't know what is going on. Tennessee is doing transfers today, so I may not hear back until later. I got on the internet (bad bad bad) and saw all these things about hyperthyroidism and infertility and miscarriage.

My spirits are pretty low right now. I've never had any confidence this will work (my protective mechanism), and now it seems pretty near impossible. (I recognize I may be a bit overdramatic right now, but it's been a rough morning).

My dear friend gave me this verse today and I'm clinging to it. I'll update when I hear from the doctor.

Hebrews 13:5: "For God Himself has said I will not in any way fail you, nor give you up, nor leave you without support. I will not, I will not, I will not in any degree leave you helpless, nor foresake you, nor let you down, or relax my hold on you. Assuredly not!"

  2. I have Grave's disease (hyperthyroidism) and I've actually been told by my endocrinologist that they REALLY don't want you to be hypothyroid when you're pregnant as that can cause many more issues than hyperthyroidism. What is their plan for getting your levels back to normal? Glad your shots went well. Praying for you! *hugs*
