Pain

Jacob has been sick for a week and a half. I brought him in to get checked bc we were worried about his breathing. Well, his sats are fine...oxygen level was 98.9 %. However, we found out that he has a double ear infection. Doc is putting him on amoxicillin.

Pa has been in pain too. =( I'm experiencing abnormal spotting/bleeding after a regular menstrual cycle. Doc said it could be a hormonal thing, which is quite normal, but today I was struck by sharp pains in my right abdominal area and it scared me to death. I almost cried in front of my students. They were so sweet though...asking me how I was doing throughout the day. My mom thinks I haven't fully healed from Jacob's delivery and suggested that I stop infertility treatments. Jeremiah thinks I'll be okay. I'm just scared. I'm going back in tomorrow for a follicle scan and my insemination day will most likely be Saturday. I don't know what to do after this cycle. I'll pray.

Work has been absolutely stessful. It hasn't been good and it has affected the mood (mine of course) and the activities in the house.

Just did some research...

"Bleeding during mid-cycle does not indicate menses. If Ovulation Bleeding is severe or long-lasting, and/or are accompanied by pain or acute discomfiture, it may be a sign of a severe problem. However, if the bleeding is extremely mild and short, and is not accompanied by pain and discomfort, it may be completely normal..."

"Sometimes ovulation bleeding may be accompanied by pain on one or other side of the lower abdomen. It depends on the site of ovulation - on which ovary is expelling the ovum on that cycle. This pain , also called 'ovulation pain' or 'mittelschmerz', lasts for about 12 - 24 hours. It increases on any movement, even during walking."
