The things we do

I'm sitting at my desk with a still slightly upset stomach (but I am really feeling a LOT better today, thanks for the well-wishes) attempting to take a dose of my balls. I'm not sure I'll make it all the way through. I've been working on swallowing them for about an hour now.

You're wondering why on God's green earth I would subject myself to the balls after spending 2 days with stomach nastiness, and when I'm still not 100% recovered, right? Well here's why: yesterday I think I felt O pains. It's been so long since I felt them for sure that I don't really know if that's what it was, but I think it was. And I thought, "Maybe the balls are working!" But I hadn't taken them since Sunday and I didn't want to ruin my chances, so I very determinedly decided to start up again with them today.

And now I'm moaning quietly at my desk. And still very slowly popping two at a time in my mouth.

Ugh.

Maybe I can convince myself it's not so bad. Really. It's not so bad. Only 24 more to go. Oh my good God, I'm only halfway done???

But no pressure. If I absolutely must stop, I will. 21 left. That's right, I just took 3 at a time! I can totally do this.

Double ugh... those might have been my last 3. Seriously. How can such tiny little things be so hard to swallow??

Standing up seems to help, maybe I should walk around for a minute...

Two more down the hatch. Maybe it's the water that's upsetting my stomach? If I could take them without water I would. Water always hurts my stomach when it's already upset...

If you didn't think I was an idiot the other day, I bet you're changing your mind now, huh?

Super trooper

Who has two thumbs and is a real trooper?

This girl (*thumbs pointing at herself*)!

I spent all day yesterday with what I believe to be food poisoning. Actually, I am still suffering its effects, and will most likely be going home early seeing as I can't stand up for more than a couple minutes without feeling like I'm going to fall over. Sitting up is marginally easier. Yesterday was hellacious; I will spare you the details. Suffice it to say I spent the day alternating between the bed, the couch, and the toilet. I had a very filling dinner of saltines, 3 apple slices, and half a ginger ale. Try not to be jealous of my gourmet lifestyle. ;)

But when, on my last trip to the loo before bedtime, I saw EWCM, I girded my loins, whipped out the PreSeed and told hubby to get prepped for BD. That's right, I'm a trooper. Or an idiot. I'll leave that distinction up to you.

At least I can take tonight off.

And now, I am going to try to stay awake long enough to get some work done. Wish me luck.

Colds, vitamins, and IF

Nothing helps me remember to take my vitamins like being sick. I'm currently taking my prenatal, royal jelly, B complex (that's a new one), echinacea, EmergenC, and fish oil. My purse looks like a pharmacy.

I am hoping last night was the peak of my cold. I was miserable, and I seriously considered not coming to work today because of it. As it is I'm planning on leaving early. I just want this cold to be on its way out by Friday!

So for a while now I've been thinking that my LP is on the short side, have I ever mentioned that? I think it's about 11 or 12 days, since I normally don't get positive OPKs until CD15 or 16 in a 28 day C, and isn't that supposed to mean I don't actually O until a day or two after that? I decided to start taking a B complex to see if that helps me out at all. It can't hurt, right? Since there is apparently nothing wrong with me except a tiny bit of endo, I just want to do whatever I can to get this ball rolling already. And if that means I have to take every supplement known to man, then that's what I'll do!
