Healing - approx 90 hours (4ish) days later.
Bandages came off and only the underbandages keeping the crater incision (puncture wound) remain. They're super sticky and the doctor said to keep them on until they fall off naturally around day 10. The dark line is the marker and slightly bruising from the implant.
symptoms and experiences so far:
Mood levels are fine but on a whole I've felt anxious because of personal family stuff and having Louis angry at someone Saturday was terrifying. I wasn't even present but i spoke with him through it and it was intense in my opinion. Hard to say if hormones are adding to it or not.
Very crampy lately. Just finished monthly lady business but progesterone is the chemical that tricks your body into thinking its pregnant, so the symptoms come along with it initially according to the doctor.
My back and lower abdomen were in excruciating pain in the mornings but tamed with little heating pads. Nausea comes and goes in waves. It's miserable physically but slowly improving. After reading a lot of reviews I'm just happy that everyone else seemed to have similar experiences.
Acne is ok. Instead of entirely clear skin I get a few very very small blemishes but not bad as long as I just keep my face clean. No weight gain, more cravings for meat, eggs and chocolate. Less cravings for seafood and dairy.
Overall I notice the hormones because of these changes but I'm hoping after the week is over they should be subsiding.
I Skyped for a long time tonight without issue so symptoms are beginning to space themselves out. At work I only felt gross twice.
That's it so far!!! I can push through this no problem. Totally worth the 3 years.
