Nine weeks two days

Today Partner and I went into town to pick up some more books for me to read. It's the first time I've really been out of the house for two weeks. I had a very hard time while inside the few shops we went into, and had to leave after just a few minutes and get some fresh air. I felt a bit faint and nauseous, though the breeze made me feel a bit better. We normally buy our books from charity shops so we have to really look at them all to find any worth even trying. I did get about five or so, but the 45 minute trip included twenty minutes of sitting down on a bench and eating a sandwich, and then when we got home after another 45 minutes, I needed more food straight away.

So I'm still ravenous nearly all the time and get quite nauseous, but not quite as exhausted. My breasts are no longer so tender--they feel as normal, just a bit larger. I've been taking progesterone injects for about two months now and the muscles in my thighs and bum are hurting. Two months of injections...give or take 62 shots, 31 in each side. No wonder they feel flayed. Hopefully these injections will cease by the 25th, in ten more days, when I see my specialist again. And as I'm counting down the days to my second trimester, perhaps I will be losing the morning (make that all day) sickness and faintness. Actually my blood pressure is a little high, according to the doctor, though not enough to be alarmed about. I can tell my heart is pumping a lot more than usual, which may be making me dizzy/faint.

I feel a bit less tired, but today's excursion did wear me out, and I don't think I'm quite ready for work. I'll be visiting the doctor again to pick up another note, probably for two more weeks. It'd be no good to turn up and pass out ten minutes later. And maybe after those two weeks are up, I'll actually feel like working.
