baby nugget with a beating heart! Yay! No corpus luteum cyst present.

Shelley was so sweet to draw my labs for me. Progesterone has always been an issue and I feel so relieved that it is starting out so good. Normally, I start out around 13. I'm continuing my Progesterone cream 45mg/daily. I am taking supplements for adrenal support, my nerve health, and a liquid vitamin. I am waiting on my iron supplement to come in, as my Hgb was good but my ferritin levels were low. My appointment with Dr. Baker is Tuesday. I will get an IV. I am continuing with my weekly B12/B complex shots.

I don't know how God is going to work with my ongoing health issues during this pregnancy, but so far, so good.
