So today kind of sucks…A LOT!  I’m feeling quite miserable, to say the least.  It started this morning when I was laying in bed trying to convince myself to get up.  My back has been bothering me the past few days but I think it has to do with the progesterone supp’s, or at least that’s what I’m attributing it to.  But today, it is terrible soreness, all in my lower back.  I laid there squirming around like a fish out of water, ok maybe not that bad, but you know what I mean.  So needless to say I just did not want to get out of bed.  I know I know, you’re all saying, “hey, you think I want to get out of bed in the morning?”.  But this is like, it takes everything I have, every ounce of energy inside of me, to drag myself out.  It was 8am, and I literally picked my legs up and threw them to the floor.  I was finally up.  But I know in a few hours I will be tired again.  Tired to the point of nodding off.  I have started drinking decaf tea in the morning and caffeinated in the afternoon, to help keep me away until bedtime, which has been earlier and earlier each night.It wasn’t long before my crampiness started in again.  I think this may be a byproduct of the backache?  If that makes any sense.  Either that or it’s again, attributed to the progesterone.  As I sit here in my awesome office chair that I L.O.V.E., usually, I am so ridiculously uncomfortable.  I don’t know what position will leave me feeling better today.  If it’s not sitting and it’s not laying, what then?  I think I will run out and grab some Tylenol, since that’s the only thing they tell you to take when you’re pregnant, or possibly could be.  Got to play it safe here, right? 

Then there’s the constipation.  I’m not the kind of person to get constipated, EVER.  But I am.  Ho Hum.  At first I thought that it was due to the salads I’ve been eating.  Every night for the past few nights I’ve been making myself a nice big salad with baked chicken on it.  Delish!  But I’m pretty sure salad is roughage, and the opposite would happen.  I am now chalking it up to the progesterone.  Poor progesterone, such a bad rap! 

Anyway…sorry to complain to you guys.  Instead of complaining to my husband, I figured I’d spare him the frustration and pile it up onto you guys!

Oh yeah, when talking to my acupuncturist yesterday, he seemed rather confidant with our chance for success.  He said that with my age, my husband’s count and the success I’ve had with ovulating the past few cycles, we should be in good shape.  Although I know I can’t feed off of everything he or anyone else say’s and get my hopes sky high thinking this is a no- brainer, b/c it very well may not work the first time.

It’s funny because you can read any message board and find these same complaints from women who are pregnant.  I’m trying not to read into anything here.  I’m trying to stay as sane as is humanly / womanly possible. Besides, it’s waaaaay to early to feel any symptoms.  Both fortunately, and unfortunately.  Thoughts are positive, but not getting my hopes up higher than they already are.  Coasting along until next week
