My anxiety was kickin' this weekend. I was fine until Sunday, when I woke up with a migraine and a nauseous stomach. I only went to part of church, and starting crying in the middle of it. I get emotional a random times, I've gotten better at controlling it, but yesterday at church was a challenge. Even though I wasn't feeling well, I still felt guilty for leaving and not teaching my nursery class. I went home and slept, and the rest of the day was better, but I still had that upset stomach. My anxiety usually goes right to the stomach. Hubby helped me to relax and feel better, but last night I couldn't sleep and I kept thinking about something totally unrelated to anything I felt this week. I guess my mind just wanted something else to focus on. I don't know where this anxiety is really coming from. Maybe it's the progesterone or lack of supplements, maybe it's because I went to my sister's baby shower on Saturday and my mind doesn't want to deal with that, it's probably all of the above. I'm hoping to do better this week. Today I have to call the doctors office to see if they've got hubby's semen analysis results in yet, oh yeah, that's another thing that might be contributing. I better go play Dance Central right now, I'm in need of a mood boost. Hope everyone is having a good day!

Infertility Insanity
Okay, so I haven't written in a few days. I've been a little unmotivated recently. I think going off progesterone has caused me to have more headaches because I've had migraines this past week. I know I can't take yet though, because I need to figure out a new dosage or different way to take it. To do that I want to see how my body performs without it. And I have to wait until a certain cycle day to be tested which is over 2 weeks from now. I know that I wasn't taking the right amount because before I started taking it I would have headaches and bad anxiety and depression. Then when I started, that got better. For the past few months those symptoms have been slowly coming back. And taking more didn't really help. So I'm trying to get that figured out. And it may be due to me not taking my supplements on a regular basis anymore. I need to get back on track with that, because those help alot. I was taking about 20 pills a day of different medications/supplements. Now I can get by with a basic 4, but should really be taking 10. In case you are interested this is what I need to take: thyroid medication, prenatals (good all around multi), iodine supplement (for thyroid),Vitamin D (for depression), Vitamin B (I have to take alot for my body to absorb, like 10 times the regular dosage), Salmon Oil (helps with depression), a special blend for Stress, Magnesium, a Pro-biotic, and L-Triptophan (prescribed for depression). The ones I have been taking lately are just thyroid meds, vitamin D, iodine, and prenatals. And I haven't been doing it everyday either. No wonder I don't feel my best.
