Aaaahhh! If it wasn’t for looking forward to a precious baby to be, I would be going crazy! More migraines. I started the meds last Tuesday and by Wednesday all it took was the smell of products at work to spark up a headache. It was bearable Wednesday but ended up just getting worse. I slept as much as I could, missing another day of work, on Thursday because the pain got so much worse. By Friday morning I was calling the doctors office and praying acupuncture would take it away. The doctors office said I can only take Tylenol (which has never helped me with a headache). They said it was most likely from the medication.

Acupuncture helped. She is a miracle worker. My head finally stopped throbbing. I was so thankful. She recommended coming back the following week as well. As soon as I walked outside into the bright sunshine I felt the pain again. It wasn’t throbbing, but the migraine was there.

After only working for a few hours I was able to go home and try soaking my feet in cold water. My acupuncturist said that would help. It actually did. So thankful. I did that a couple of times Friday night. I was so desperate to sleep a full night without pain, and technically it is Tylenol, but I ended up taking Tylenol PM. I’m sure I wasn’t supposed to, but dealing with the pain for another 4 days was making me weak. I actually slept the entire night away and woke up without pain. So so so happy!

I haven’t had a full headache since Friday night before I went to sleep but it is still there. Right behind my eyes, making me a little light headed/dizzy. And I’m back to not being able to sleep well, it’s so hard to fall asleep. But I’ll take that over the pain any day. My blood pressure is fine, so I know it’s not that. And otherwise, I feel fine. Although I do have 5/7 side effects that I listed in the last post from the medication. Fun times!

I have an ultrasound and blood work Thursday morning so I’ll be asking more questions then. They should be able to tell me how things are progressing and when (I hope) I should be starting the progesterone.

If nothing else, at least when our baby girl grows up and complains about me-I can share what it took to get her here with this blog. Lol 😂 I hope she appreciates it! I know I do and it is all worth it. I have such a strong support system around us, and Jay is the best.. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner, especially going through this process! ❤️ I am also so appreciative of the bosses and co-workers I have too. They are so understanding and I am so thankful for all of them. ❤️

I wish I had more to share, especially more positive. I feel like I complained through this whole post!

Thank you all again for reading and following and supporting us! I can’t tell you all enough how much you help us get through this. Just knowing people are waiting to hear what’s going on and caring. It just means so much!!!

Til next week. Xoxo
