I had my annual check up yesterday. Weight is down- YAY! I am exactly 5'5". I took deep breaths, got felt up, the lubed up speculum, prodded and poked...and then I got to go to work after.
Anyhow, things checked out OK except for one thing; my blood pressure was around the edges of pre-/hypertension >:( Mom and dad have it I know, but dammit, I'm the healthiest person in this household and possibly in my family! So I have to keep track of it, go back in a couple months and she changed me to a different contraceptive that is a Progestin only pill. Last year when I went in I was on a tri-cyclical combo pill (each weeks pills had a different dose and then the placebo/"reminder"). Like that pill as I did, the problem was that there was no generic for them, so I asked to be switched to something cheaper. She switched me to a combo pill that has a constant dose throughout the three weeks. I'm really hoping it is the new pill and the recent stress I've been under that's causing this and not my getting genetically screwed. So we will see.
I also got my tetanus booster and got blood taken for diabetes testing (since my sister has it and was diagnosed around the age I am currently, I like to keep a watch for it). I'm one of the few people I know that is OK with needles. They rarely hurt, they don't freak me out and I even think it's kinda fun watching my blood spurt out into the little tube. However, day after, my arm does hurt from the shot...assballs.
