Shit, I took some Benadril (sp..) this morning because I couldn't stop coughing... and now... my eyes won't focus easily and I feel like I'm about to pass out.
I cannot handle any kind of medication--for me, it's naturopathic or nothing. Saturday night I had some throat coat stuff that had Codine in it, and I started passing out 15 minutes later. I don't usually fall asleep fast, but Tom had to help me off the couch and down the stairs (we were at his parents' place). I flopped down on the bed and that was it until over 10 hours later. Scary...
And you know what's really frightening? A woman I work with can down ten Tylenols and not feel a thing, other than her headache getting better.
Baby fever
Yes, I admit I have it. Pregnancys are abounding around me... happy moms-to-be with their proud fathers-to-be, and all I have is a slightly bulgy tummy from too many pot stickers.
Sigh...
Tom and I spoke again last night about the possibility of something being "wrong" with either of us. Would he leave me if I was broken? Would I leave him?
Then I remember Raven telling me it had been 7 years for her with no pregnancy and I feel a little hope that I still have a chance.
With all the teen pregnancies around me, and those of my friends and co-workers, and with all the importance placed on birth control, I always thought it was easy to get pregnant, one little slip and a baby was on it's way.
Evidently not.
I think I'm going to get a physical.

I think getting a physical is a good idea - Just to know where you stand. Plus, it will lower your stress - Once you know if either of you have fertility issues, you'll really know your options. Knowing SOMETHING is better than knowing nothing and stumbling over all the possibilities.
Hugs!
Even if one of the two of you (or both) are having such problems, this isn't the end. Some friends of ours had tried for ten years, all sorts of different things. Then through in-vitro they had a little girl, and two years later they had twins.
I've heard of stress as being a cause of non-procreation... maybe you two need to go on a nice vacation...
Phoe-absolutely. Now I have to go get prodded. *Shudder*
Phil-You are right about the options... I'm getting paranoid. And speaking of vacations, one of my co-workers just announced she is pregnant, and that it happened while on a 2-week trip to Mexico! That stress idea could be spot on. I'd like to know for sure it isn't something physical, and then... well, we are going to go to Spain this summer... tee hee hee.
Well, independent of results of physical, make sure you have a very highly active vacation.. :-)
Have you ever taken birth conrol? Don't answer that, but if you ever took it for an extended time in the past that could be the problem.
I think sometimes females just get the pregnancy bug and a ton of females will get it at once. I'm 21, but a year ago at my workplace I had 3 girls my age become pregnant and one was one of three girls my age who had children around 2 y/o or more. Then 2 more girls got pregnant! Sadly, one of the first two girls had a miscarriage at 8 months but the other two both had healthy babies. Then I find out yet another friend was preggo (it was due May, now that I think of it..)and my exroommate who had just gotten married was trying to get pregnant. And except for two they were almost all single and all under 23 years old! At first it was sweet.. then it just got ridiculous, and I stopped caring.. in the nicest way possible of course!
Iri-not in a drug form, no. I hope all the marriage and pregnancy that's swirling around me stops affecting me eventually. But that's probably up for me to decide, eh?
Well, when you see a lot of something you want, but you aren't getting it yourself I can see how you would become upset. It's hard to see everyone else's life going in the direction you want yours to go in.
It's odd, though - As soon as you stop caring so much about getting something (like married or pregnant), that is usually when it comes about. I didn't want a boyfriend at all when I moved here, and as soon as I decided that, I met Rally. And before, when all I did want was a boyfriend, there were none to be had. It's like, once what you want is no longer the most important thing, that's when you'll get it.
I know it's a lot of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, but that's just the way things seem to work out (around me, at least).
Same for me, in that I really wanted to be pregnant last month when I didn't get my period, but I wasn't. . . And as soon as I think, "You know, having kids right now isn't the best idea" is when I'll actually become pregnant.
Weird, but Rally is worried that he's sterile - I think that he's paranoid that just because he hasn't fathered any children means that he CAN'T. Time will tell, I guess.
Take it easy. . Life will work itself out - There's no way you can spend the rest of your life on the tightwire you are on now. You will find things out and once you know, then you can work with what you are given.
The anticipation of finding out is always worse than actually knowing.
