Wait It Out

For once a week has just flown by. Usually if AF is involved it tends to drag but she is packing her bags tomorrow!

So, what do we know about my cycles now with Prometrium...well...I am a royal b*tch, my bbs ache, enlarge and get really veiny, I am fatigued and sleep like a baby. Oh, and I get dizzy spells and gas, lol. So basically anything that would lead me to a suspicion of pregnancy with symptoms I get with the meds. Fabulous. As if I needed more of a guessing game...

I started looking into acupuncture for fertility and set up an appointment with a Dr just out of town. The appointments are expensive...about $100 with subsequent visits being $50 but it can't hurt at this point. I am under so much stress as it is I guess getting my "chi" in line wouldn't be such a bad thing. I am not a fan of needles but after all the blood work and being prodded and pincushioned at the hospital what are a few more?

Tonight DH and I go look at some more houses and today is pay day, YAY! This weekend we were invited over to a UFC party. DH will probably go but I am not really in any mood to socialise. I may just grab a tub of Ben and Jerrys or some cheesecake and veg to a chick flick.
Sunday I have a wedding shower for my most favourite cousin in the world. So excited for her...it should be fun...actually looking forward to that one!

Now...if only there were a way to avoid all these baby showers coming up....I really hate to be a "Debbie Downer" but pregnancy and babies is still a sore spot. I know I can't avoid all my friends/co-workers who are pregnant and their children-to-be for very much longer but I will buy all the time I can get. It has been less then 5 months since our second loss and I am still trying to adjust to all the announcements around me and it is my hope that these women in my life will attempt to be understanding. If time is what it takes I am still waiting for that constant ache to become a more tolerable one. I just hope that I have not destroyed valued friendships in the meantime...

  1. Ugh, I know what you mean about feeling like a "Debbie Downer"...I'm afraid I'm always going to feel this way until I get pregnant again. It's always on my mind...and especially when I'm around pregnant woman or people are talking about babies. It's a constant reminder that they have what I want :(
