I was hoping I didn't see my Dr.'s number come up on my cell phone today. After reviewing my scans from yesterday with another specialist, they want me to start progesterone injections. It's more precautionary than anything, but I'm still bummed. Oddly enough, there was an interesting article in the NY Times about progesterone and pre-term birth. At least the study shows it works:

Wonderful side effects I can expect: headaches, bloating, irritability, breast tenderness, sleepiness, depression and mood swings. hahaha ummmm, I'm 7 mos. pregnant, so I'm feeling most of these already!
