Well, one of these days I will get around to that reflective, goal setting post. But, today, I am home sick on what should be the first day back to work after the holiday break. Yesterday, I woke up with a sore throat of the post nasal drip variety. I felt a little warm eyed all day, but not too stuffy. But last night, ugh, it came on in full force. I was awake for a solid two hours at least in the middle of the night, just stuffed up and uncomfortable!
This morning, the sinus pain was in fill force. I decided to take advantage of the fact that my project at work is hold for two weeks, and they haven't had a chance to figure out what random tasks will fill my time, and I emailed in sick.
I need to rest, and save up my energy because baseline is supposed to be tomorrow... although, as per usual, I'm supposed to be spotting by now, and of course, I am not yet. I am giving it until 2:30 before I call and let the nurse know. For my first cycle, I didn't start spotting until the day of baseline, and even though I called the day before to tell them I wasn't yet, they had me come in anyway, so we will see what happens. Why is that Auntie Flo continues to be the most uncooperative relative I have?
Based on my emotional state yesterday (I was weeping over taking down the tree!), she should be here any minute. She has three hours to shape up.
And I have a few days to get rid of this cold!
Why doesn't it ever come when we want it to, only when we beg it to stay away??
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you took the day off to rest up!! Sending you 'get well' wishes!
Hope all goes well in your baseline. I know it's just the beginning, but we need all the luck we can get.
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself too! You need to be in fighting form for IVF!
I'm thinking of you!

My clinic always tells me to call when Pablo is in town and schedules the baseline after that. I hope your auntie is cooperative and flies in on schedule.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon.
I'm sorry you are sick, feel better soon! I am going to do what worked for me and send your Auntie the written invite Chickenpig sent for me! Hope she shows up soon.
ReplyDeleteDear Aunt Flo,
Your presence is humbly requested in this fine woman's uterus as soon as you are able to arrive. IVF to follow thereafter.
I hope you feel better soon - being sick sucks, and even more during an IVF cycle! AF NEVER shows up for me on time when I need her to. Other times she is like clockwork. Drives you nuts. Anyhow hopefully she is late and gives you a few days to feel better before you start.
ReplyDeleteI hope that she has arrived by the time you read this comment.
