Today, the doctor removed me from my dear friend "Timmy the Tumour". It was unexpected, and I was totally not prepared. My impression was that because of the CPP (complete placenta previa) he was going to leave the polyp alone. BUT this week I had a handful of days where I had light spotting. I only called to tell him once and the other days I kinda just didn't say much because I didn't feel like I was in danger of a major bleed. I did tell him about the incidents today at the appointment when he decided it had to go so we can better get an idea where the spotting is coming from (polyp bleeding is not really a big deal, placenta bleeding earns me time on bed rest.) So off it came. It is was super and super easy, and for some reason--I feel so much better mentally without it. .My gut tells me that was the source of the spotting so hopefully I will get to have some smooth sailing for a few weeks.
More good news, we are kicking the progesterone to the curb. I finally bothered to ask if it causes weight gain That got a BIG FAT YES. I figured as much because I had been off and on it since December and could feel MAJOR differences in myself and how I felt on it. So I am looking forward to being off of that and seeing how I feel. He said ideally the weight gain will slow down, and double checked my chart--made a face (I reminded him that the pre-pregnancy weight he had on his chart was not my actual bc I gained during my miscarriage too --I was on progesterone then too). Then he made a worse face and said-yes we need that to slow down. BUT it is all worth it if it helped me have a healthy baby in the end.
My next appointment is in 4 weeks. We will then have the anatomy scan and possibly find out the sex of the baby. Ian really wants to know and I didn't. BUT now, I could go for some fun amazing news instead of polyps and stupid placentas. So I am warming up to the idea.
Oh and more good news. I CAN WALK. Still no lifting or straining, but I can walk for exercise. Praise God because I am going crazy here. IF I do spot, I can't, but as long as I don't have any bleeds I am free to walk about.
So all in all, today was a good day. We discussed the placenta stuff a little bit and he clarified some stuff I was scared about. So that, my friends is that.
