I'm wondering if it's the progesterone? I realize in my last post I didn't really explain to those not in this wonderful TTC/IF world why I'm taking progesterone. In a nutshell, it's because it makes my uterus relax and ensures it's uber-ready for implantation. (That is, if we were lucky enough for a sperm to actually find and fertilize the egg.) I asked Dr.B if the progesterone was absolutely necessary since my hormone levels are fine but he said this would give it the best chance, and well every little helps. I guess.
So now I'm inserting these damn progesterone pessaries every night, which by the way, makes for a weird experience in the morning and actually during the rest of the day as well. I keep getting a not-quite-so-pleasant surprise everytime I go to the loo. When I wake up half of the pessary capsule seems to have dissolved and dried down my leg. Sorry no TMI warning here! This just needs to be said!
Okay I put one in. Just a little late is all.
Anyway back to the point of this post. Are my boobs itchy because of the progesterone? It was getting a bit embarrassing today in a meeting I had for work. I just really needed to itch them! I hope no one noticed... sometimes I just forget where I am! The desire to itch was too overwhelming. I looked on some forums but they were useless. Every single one telling me itchy boobs was a sign of pregnancy... hmmm... four days since my IUI, I don't think so. I'm convinced it's the P. Rone, let me know if you have any other thoughts??
And last but not least I wanted to thank you all for your words of encouragement and support over my drama drama IUI. Your words keep me sane. So I just wanted to thank you all from the bottom of my heart:
Wish I could give this to you for real.
