I'll spare you the gory details, but it's quite safe to say that my baby dreams for this month are over.... Thank you, aunt flo for once again crushing a little part of me.
It may have actually been a blessing this month. Several years ago I had a pinched nerve in my back that resulted in severe nerve pain in my right leg and severe numbness in my foot. I had surgery to remove a portion of the disc in 2009. This past week I've been having similar symptoms in my hands, arms and shoulders. Some times my fingers are so numb I drop whatever I'm holding because I can't tell that I'm not holding it tightly anymore. I went to the urgent care but they couldn't do anything since I might have been pregnant. Now that I'm definitely not, they can shoot me up with radiation until I glow.... Or figure out what's wrong with me, whichever comes first. Hopefully they can fix this quickly since I'm fairly certain they're going to suggest we stop TTC while they work on getting me fingers again.
The other good thing about my period? Ativan! My doctor won't put me on any antidepressants while I'm not on birth control because they're not considered safe for pregnancy, but she did give me Ativan that I can take while I'm actually on my period. I'm feeling quite relaxed tonight if you can't tell. If I seem rambley or out of it, I apologize. :-)
So tomorrow my day off will be spent sleeping and then at urgent care once I wake up. That may not be until afternoon though!
