It's done... Not going to be bothered by it...

So finally it pushed through after a long time of asking for it to be done..

I finally have my kidney biopsy done...

I was taking Coumadin for at least 6 mos now, and I was hoping of not taking it for the rest of my life... My INR is finally on good levels recently, (that's what they said) so I am hopeful that it is not for my entire lifetime.

They are holding my Coumadin for now... I hopefully I do not need to take it.

So... At exactly 1:30 pm I was on my belly being ultrasound. So they could find my kidneys. They had to poke my at least 3 times. It sucks knowing a bit of medical terms and it gets frustrating when this medical students do not know cephalic, and caudal means. And it's awesome for them to use adipose instead of fat.

Apparently, my back has too much adipose that they hit that a lot... I get it I am fat OK? Goddammit! I was in the hospital for already 3-4 days and I was already starting to swell up.

It wasn't a fun time. It was numb but i still feel it for some reason, I mean the pressure no pain. It really wasn't a fun time. After the biopsy thing, I had to be on my back for 24 hours, meaning I need to use the bed pan. I do not like bed pans, the are weird. And I really do not like asking someone to help me pee. Why would I want that?? I am a grown woman!! But I got no choice.

Oh well... now that is done... :) results next blog... :))

Depo Provera.. OUCH!

Maybe I haven't done enough research regarding this contraceptive.
Maybe I should have followed what the doctor advised me to get.
There are just some questions, I guessed, that I forgot to ask when I was at the doctor's office.

I have been on Depo Provera for about a month. And I do not actually have much of the side effect. Except for one, and I am not even sure if it is because of the medicines I am taking or it's just me.
It hurts, when I am having intercourse.

It feels full inside. Like there are so much stuff in there that it is painful.
I have read a lot of stories about painful sex because of  Depo Provera, but I think some of them are just exaggerating.

***a week after

So I had my spotting, and actually had a day of having a period, well like the last day of your period, where it is too little to wear a pad and a bit too much to wear only pantyliner. And after that, I am feeling less pain in the belly. and it feels less painful having intercourse.

Maybe coz my body is just new to this hormone shot I have. Looks like I am actually ok with this depo provera thing. Hopefully I don't have to take it long. And won't take long to have a baby after my treatment. :)

Wish me luck. And I hope the other lupies are feeling as hopeful as I am today.
