I'm still not pregnant, but since I started this journey... I have ovulated on my own 4 times! Which, even if no BFPs, at least things are working like they should for the most part....
So, on Sunday December 7,2014 Emily, Randal, Nate and I were at my apartment just hanging out...at about 6pm I started having horrible pains in my upper stomach (sternum area) , I thought maybe trapped gas? Heart burn? I wasn't entirely sure.... But I did know that whatever it was, it was getting worse by the minute. By 7pm I went to the bathroom to see if I could vomit or BM... No such luck? I blacked out in my tiny bathroom (toilet and shower are separated by a door from the actual vanity and sink part of the bathroom) and I hit the wall which in turn, notified Randal and Emily that something was up, and if anyone knows me or has was previous blogs, they know that I pass out more then the average person, but the DRs still haven't figured out why... Anyways, Emily is always the one to rain calm and take care of me and coming back to reality, week they both managed to pull me out to the vanity area, at this point the pain was so excruciating that I don't even remember much, but they got me out there and gave me water, put my legs up, and I just kept going in and out which isn't normal, even for me, so the debate happened between Emily and Randal about weather to call 911 or just get me to the car to take me to the ER. Randal and Emily then carried me to the car, and I woke up in the ER, pain had subsided because of morpgine, but immediately tests were done and without a doubt, PANCREATITIS, but why? They admitted me, So the next few days in the hospital were oh so much fun! The average lipace levels of the pancreas are 0-60...mine were 1814...they ended up detoxing me off all my medications (including metformin 😢😢😢) and by Tuesday I was finally eating solid food, and my lipace levels were back to normal range...after ultra sounds, ct scans and A LOT of blood work, since I'm not an alcoholic, or they couldn't find any full stones, the only thing it "could be" is a side effect from the MET. Which sucks.
I was DCd on Tuesday night....with pain meds and the order of drinking more water? Answers, I love them.
Follow up appointment time! OB was already scheduled for the 16th, and we had discussed in prior, clomid was the next option...but with all of this excitement that was going on, and the fact they took me off of met, I was SURE the DR wasn't going to let me go on clomid! But I was wrong, he decided for me to stay off met and try clomid this cycle, so tomorrow is cycle day 5 and clomid day 1!!! Super excited!
Mental health DR put me back on the Zoloft and a smaller dose of Xanax, since I can't be taking that one while pregnant, but other then that, everything is good with him.
On January 7,2015 I have an appointment with a GI specialist to follow up on the pancreatitis, I'm nervous for whatever he wants to do, but I need things to be healthy for the potential baby that will have to be spending 9 months in there. It better be healthy and comfortable!!
I will update after clomid, and after appointments, stay tuned!

LULU
