So I've been getting Progesterone Shots for about 4 weeks now. Every Friday I go in they check my vitals I get the shot, check the vitals again and I'm good to go. I always get a sheet with the side effects on it and what to watch for. BUT they never told me what happens when you get TOO MUCH progesterone. They are also suppose to be tracking this and doing blood tests and they haven't. There can always be too much of a good thing. So in this case I went in told them what I had going on this week. She recommended a prenatal girdle. Got one..then said hmm yah you should see the doctor right away. So I recieved my shot and then went to the waiting room thinking it wouldn't be more than a half an hour. At this point I went by myself. Taking a 1 year old on a day trip to Yongsan and back with the husband in charge is alot of baby scheduling so left the boys at home and I went bright and early with my friends since they had to go there too. We stopped to get breakfast at McD's. The first time I had gotten to eat McD's breakfast in almost 2 years! Amazing. So after we made it there around 9:30 I got my shot now it's about 10 and I was waiting in the waiting room. The nurse kept coming in and saying just a while longer. Well it was 12:30 before they saw me and I had missed two buses at this point I was freaking out. It was the first time my husband has been alone with my son all day long before in fact I think the longest time he's been alone with him maybe an hour! So I finally get to see the doctor and I just happen to get a good doctor that wants to examine me. She walked in started to explain herself and I stopped her mid sentence jumping for joy please do an exam!! They never examine you here they usually ask you 20 questions and send you home with Ibuprofen...
So apparently because of all this progesterone I got an infection and that's super bad if your pregnant and can possible have this baby at any moment. So there was no other choices than to give me the good stuff for meds she gave me two doses said to take the first if it doesn't go away within 4 days to take the second. The drug isn't really good during pregnancy but the infection wasn't good either especially if I went into preterm or something bad happened it would only make it worse.
So after a long day I missed the 2:05 bus and had to wait another hour for another bus so at 3 I left I got home around 6 because of the never ending traffic in Seoul and the horrible monsoon season rains. Also I had lost my ID the week before so now that I had to take the bus home I had to get off at each post and walk to the ID place and scan my fingerprint. The bus driver almost left me once then once I got to our final destination he totally didn't even wait for me and left me. Need I remind you walking makes the baby fall out even more! I had to walk all the way to the car couldn't make it that far so I stopped for a pit stop at the Gateway Club. For a normal person walking from Gate 1 to the Gateway club isn't that far. But after walking all day and not getting a wheelchair which I should have abused that privilege, I now know what a bird feels like before delivering an egg I think. So I'm never doing that one again! I get home and the boys are sitting playing WoW having the time of there lives didn't miss me at all! So I went and passed out in our nice comfy bed next to the air conditioner.
