Hope you had a Merry Christmas. I did. Despite the disappointments and frustrations. Allergies and windburn. I can still say that my Christmas went well - except for the fact that my husband and I weren't able to hear mass because of my terrible allergies.
So what happened? We were expecting that Dec 25 will bring answer to our prayer for a baby. As it was the date when I was supposed to take a pregnancy test to see if the treatment went well. Sad to say, I had my period on Christmas Eve - while we were busy having our Noche Buena. So my OB asked me to see her on the 28th - prescribed Clomid since Femara is too expensive and it didn't work, and scheduled me for an appointment again on Jan 5. After that, I suppose, we will try out Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI). Hopefully this will work for 2010.
Days before that, I had the most outrageous allergies. I only remember wrapping all the Christmas presents for half a day, then I took a shower afterwards. Hours later, my palms were itching. I saw small blisters around my palms. Then it became worse the next day so we went to see a Derma. The day after Christmas we went back to the Derma because my condition didn't improve. So she gave me medicines - Celestamine, Zithromax, Cytobiologische Tablets and Ataraxid - I feel like a drug addict - too many drugs! Ugh. Now my allergies are almost gone. Hopefully they will all go with 2009. But then I still have this wind burn. I can't wear lipstick and my Burt's Bees lip balm isn't working well either. Anyhow..
But then as I said, my Christmas wasn't that bad. My husband and I were able to bring good cheer to our loved ones - despite my being unemployed for the past month, we were able to buy gifts for the people dear to us. We were also able to gift each other a Lacoste shirt (violet, matching!), which will now be an official tradition for both of us. Last year we had it in blue, let's see what color we'll get for next year!
