15 things that help when I'm sick

Okay now to focus on the things that help when I'm sick,

  1. Head rubs. Meds only help so much with the headaches I get, so having my head rubbed would be awesome.
  2. Ice cream. No better excuse to chow down on ice cream than a sore throat.
  3. Lemsip. My true savior here. Where would I be without you?
  4. Friends running errands for me. Bringing me much needed supplies will never be forgotten, Jacqui.
  5. Naps. All the naps! Rest cures all!
  6. Netflix. It's nice to have something on as I just lie in my bed, unable to do anything.
  7. IMing. I get lonely and usually can't talk on the phone, so IMing helps,
  8. Blankets. Getting cozy is the best.
  9. Hot water bottle. Again, gotta be cozy.
  10. Taking it easy. This means not beating myself up for not doing parts of my regular routine.
  11. Comfy clothes. Can you imagine being sick and wearing constricting clothing? Sounds like a nightmare.
  12. Meds. Boy am I thankful for cold meds and my inhaler. Otherwise, guess who would definitely have to be at the hospital? (Although if I could just pick to not have asthma then I'd do that)
  13. Baths. So I can't do this here, but baths really help me when I'm sick,
  14. Someone reading to me. Again, I can't do this here, but someone reading to me when I'm sick helps me feel less lonely and lets me close my eyes and relax.
  15. Water. I drinks lots of it when I'm sick and it sure seems to help.

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Starting my parental journey, part 8

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here , read part 6 here , and read part 7 here . I have begun birth control again. Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
