June 25, 2001

Okay so just where the heck are ya???? I don't think I O'd this last cycle and I don't have af yet. I am cd 27 and by now should have had af on an annovulatory cycle or be spotting at least. I think I am in a cranky mood today. I have been studying for a final exam for the past few days and am sure I will fail. My memory is just not working! So I guess I will complain about my cycle.

I have been told that the lap will mess up my cycle but wow! For 3 straight days I had hot flashes on and off. They even woke me up out of a dead sleep too. I am normally a cold person so all of my friends looked at me as if I was nuts when I was walking around in tank tops and complaining about the heat. I have also had what I am assuming are normal cramps? At this point I think I would prefer the pain I use to have to these. At least I could combat that with strong meds. These cramps are annoying as all get out! I got a bad case of them in the middle of the night last night and laid awake while they took over. They have been bothering me on and off for about a week. The other thing is this terrible headache. Geez I sound really depressing eh?

Okay on to better things. I have been thinking about the IUI. I wonder what it might be like to actually take a pg test and see a +++. It seems like it will never happen to me. I know I have read this is some other diaries and can really relate. What would it be like to actually experience really pg symptoms and to feel my body change a baby grows. I would love to be able to walk into a maternity store and look around and actually buy something. I think of how I will tell people that I am pg ... how the people at work will react. Sometimes it is great to let your imagination get carried away except I always come back to .. when will it be my turn?

Before I bore you anymore I should get going. I was on my way to the kitchen for some strawberries and cream and got side tracked. Later!!!
