Tomorrow will be my tenth and final day on the progesterone hormone pill, along with the hormone pill I've been diligently taking my prenatal vitamins to give my body a bit of a head start. I've also been watching my diet, just to see where I can improve – although I generally eat well which is great since I plan to maintain a healthy diet through-out this pregnancy and while (hopefully) breastfeeding. I've also been exercising, which I'm hoping to trade for prenatal yoga once we're pregnant (maybe go down to 2-3 days a week? We'll see).
It wasn't until today when the progesterone side effects started to really kick in; a destroyed sleeping schedule, headaches, bloating and some tenderness, oh and I've had some pretty rough cramping during the past few days but a little relaxation, a warm shower and my heating pad helped remedy that. Regardless, a bit of discomfort or pain in exchange for the chance to have this baby here is totally and completely worth it.
I can't wait for Monday and the real beginning of this cycle.
