Patches

I am actually writing this post on the BART.  On Sunday night I decided I wanted to fly out to see my parents before things get too crazy with my shots and (hopefully) being pregnant.  I flew out on Monday morning.  It has been great spending time with them, exploring the area, and seeing their new place. They were really interested to see how I did my shots too.

Today felt like a big day.  I started wearing my estradiol patches.  For some reason, that makes the transfer seem more real.  It will happen the first week of May.

The patch has not been bothersome on my skin yet (it's only been about 7 hours though).  I was worried about how my skin would react since I have extremely sensitive skin.  I will wear the patches constantly now (even in the shower).  Luckily they're hidden on my stomach because otherwise it would look like a nicotine patch! ;) The patch(es) get changed every other day and I'll eventually make my way up to wearing 3-4 a day. 

Overall--my main complaint would be the massive headaches I've been having, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty good!
