Title: Morning Sickness
Post by: Lisbeth on December 10, 2007, 02:24:23 PM
Those who have known me for awhile have heard how I can tell whether someone is pregnant by touch.  I've been 100% accurate in this sense for all of my children.

So on December 1, I started on a new dosage of estradiol.  50% more than the previous dosage.  Monday morning around about 2:30 or so I wake up with a stomach ache and can't get back to sleep.  I check my forehead to see if I have a fever, and my sense is telling me I'm pregnant!  So now I've had a week's worth of morning sickness, fragile emotions, and the appetite of an expectant mother.

Water crackers and peppermint tea are my friends.

Heh, You know... I've only been on HRT for a little while and I can tell you I ABSLOLUTELY know how you feel. I've been feeling that way for... well since I started HRT. I've talked to my endo about it and she told me pretty much that I'm experiencing the precursors of motherhood and that they would go away with time. Even though it sucks... I'm enjoying it. ;D (and so is my mom... a little too much if you'd ask me) Lol.

Ya, it's another one of those "poetic justice" things my ex-to-be keeps smiling over.
