Wishing for morning sickness, am I crazy?

Hello all, nothing has really changed here, too bad! I actually told one of my girlfriends that I was hoping to get morning sickness so I know for sure something is changing. She thought I was crazy! I’m sure it didn’t help that she only has a 6 month old child, so the memories of morning sickness are to close to the brain! lol I know I am a little crazy hoping for morning sickness, I just can’t help but want something to change. And something more than sore breast and fatigue (symptoms of PMS and pregnancy). All I can say though, it’s Friday, so it could be worse.

On a side note, I go in for my Dr. appointment on Monday for them to test my progesterone levels. Basically what they are looking for is levels above 15 (according to Dr. Google). If for whatever reason my levels are below 10-15, I will be prescribed progesterone supplements. I have taken these in the past, and they SUCK! Everything about them sucks! You bloat like crazy. I actually put on 15 lbs as a result, and I just finished shedding those unwanted pounds. I seriously hope my levels come back good! Plus, I have read that most people (yes, goggle again, although the paragraph below seems to show otherwise, kinda) that test positive for pregnancy generally have higher levels of progesterone.

Here is what Dr. Google had to say:

“A progesterone test is done to confirm ovulation. When a follicle releases its egg, it becomes what is called a corpus luteum and produces progesterone. A level over 5 probably indicates some form of ovulation, but most doctors want to see a level over 10 on a natural cycle, and a level over 15 on a medicated cycle. There is no mid-luteal level that predicts pregnancy. Some say the test may be more accurate if done first thing in the morning after fasting.” …Average is about 20 at 4 weeks LMP, and 40 at 14 weeks LMP. It is important to note that while a higher progesterone level corresponds with higher pregnancy success rates, one cannot fully predict outcome based on progesterone levels. Progesterone supplementation is unlikely to help if started after a positive pregnancy test.

I guess I have to wait until Monday, so the wait continues…..let’s hope for levels over 20! Even though it is not indicative of pregnancy, if the success rate is better, then I’m all for it!
