Today, I had an echocardiogram for the second time in my life (last one in 2008) and got fitted with a holter monitor for the third time (24 hour in 2008, 30 day in 2011, 24 hour again today, woo!). So yeah, the palpitations are at it again, and have been for more than a month, and they've been driving me up the freaking wall on and off, so here we are.
( Stuff about echocardiograms and holter monitors, and also a mention of periods, I guess? )
Also, we wound up having really good results from the egg fertilization! So now the ones that made it to the blastocyst stage are off for testing to make sure they don't have any huge dangerous genetic abnormalities that would lead to miscarriage and that, and then we will talk about putting one of them back in me and seeing what happens. Hopefully, pregnancy.
Other things that are happening include, um, work, feeling like I'm not doing enough work, feeling like I have too much work, feeling like I have taken too many hormones over the last month and this is now exacerbating my preexisting tendency to feel like I'm doing everything wrong no matter what... y'know, the usual. I have an appointment with my therapist next week, don't worry, and I really am pretty sure this is at least 90% "wow did I get flooded with hormones." I felt fine mostly while I was on them, but the aftershock has been kind of crummy.
