Allergic Reaction

Okay, so for a little over a week now I've noticed that I'm getting whelps every time Jessy gives me the daily shot of progesterone. They started out small and have progressively gotten very large. He told me the nurse had said that was a normal reaction...I didn't remember hearing anything like that, but maybe I did and just didn't remember? I found out later she never said such a thing. : )

Anyway, this morning he gave me my normal shot and not 5 minutes later I was itching and showed Jessy this HUGE whelp right where my injection had been given!

I called the nurse and explained the situation and the doctor called me back and told me to stop the injections. Apparently, I'm not allergic to the progesterone (as it is a natural hormone produced in the body) but I am allergic to the oil it is in when I get the injections. I couldn't remember if the one we have right now is in peanut or sesame oil (I think it's sesame) but I am apparently allergic to one or the other.

I started getting hives on my arms and am scratching my entire body. The doctor told me to take Benadryl (which I just took!) and he also prescribed me a different kind of progesterone supplement for another week. It is glycerin based one so it shouldn't bother me.

I also just found out the weeks worth of "new" medicine is going to cost 98.00 more dollars! Err!! I just wish my body would produce what it's supposed to...how irritating. I guess the end result is well worth all the money now. I can't wait to see my baby!
