The Headache

The ever so famous IF med headache has started. It only took a few hours after the pill this morning to start. It's not horrible but obviously there. I'm managing hopefully without taking anything else for it.

Cold wise, I haven't taken anything for that either. I didn't feel like going out for stuff yet, and just started drinking so much water that I have to pee every 1/2 hr. And I can hear it swishing around if I move too fast. I lysoled the whole house today in attempt to kill off all the nasty germs for good, washed everything on the beds, including pillows, and lysoled the mattresses. That should keep it from going anywhere else.

I'm feeling somewhat better about everything now and have been doing a lot of thinking about what may have went wrong or why things happened....
My thoughts on round 1 was, the gall bladder thing. That was a 31 day cycle, and I would have had to ovulate later than day 14 that time. Because of the attack and all that came with that, timing sucked after day 14. And I figure it didn't happen that time because it gave me the little break to be able to get the surgery done and overwith, without complicating things with a pregnancy in that mix. I'm glad I didn't have to recover from that while being pregnant or just having a baby.
Round 2, I am coming to closure with. I didn't get a fresh start and allowed them to just start meds without a period first. I figured it was no big deal because the progesterone draw was so low, but all along I really thought I should have pushed to start a real period first. I was impatient as usual and just wanted to get on with things. So I think that's why it was a crappy cycle.
Round 3 now. I am thinking I'll probably have a better response from this time. Probably like the first round. Higher prog. level, better O, etc. I just have to really limit how stressed I allow myself to get, and stay distracted somehow. I will not let the cold effect anything from going on, and I am going to really make sure the timing is right. That's usual not a problem. Of course I would really love for this to be the round that works and I get pregnant, but being able to respond to it is also something good. It's something that hasn't happened outside this study since K was conceived. So, I'll focus on that to keep me going with all this. Whatever I'm on, it does work.
