Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Better/Worse

June 11, 2007 — 10:35 pm

I have the worst sinus headache ever. This is why I always hated having any sort of crying fits when I was a teenager/tween… would be stuck with a sinus headache the rest of the day. Advil hasn’t worked, sudafed hasn’t worked, so I’m going to be shortly.

My newest order of cloth pads arrived today. I was excited they got here so quickly! Unfortunately, AF has already left the building. (Well, can’t say I’m overly upset over that one…) Weird, weird. They all told me that the period after your IVF cycle will be “really bad.” For me it amounted to one day of heavy spotting/very light flow, two days of normal flow with weird cramps the entire time (I usually only get very painful cramps for one day – these lasted longer, but weren’t nearly so strong), and then a day of spotting again. Just odd. I think I’m going to just completely give up reading my body’s signs. It does whatever it feels like doing.

Anyways, I’m going to turn off all the lights now and murder whoever yells or barks next.

    I had the same weird AF – I was ready for a nasty one and then… pft. Nothing, really. I wanted to tell you in regard to your last post – honestly – there is not time line for grieving. Do not be surprised if you are strangely moody for weeks or even months. Months. Seriously. This was a big blow and please don’t feel like you should snap out of it. Just take care of yourself. It sucks.
