C#8, CD30, waiting for AF
Hi All,
I normally don't write two entries in a week, but I have a confession to make: I have a very poopy attitude today! My weekend has not started off well to say the least.
First of all, I began to get symptoms of a UTI (urinary tract infection) on Thursday night. It's common for me to get symptoms and have them disappear, so did I call my doctor? No, I decided to take an analgesic to numb the pain (you know, the kind that turns your pee orange) and drink lots of cranberry juice. All was fine until yesterday at about 5:30 (afer the dr's office was closed, of course), when all the prodium in the world couldn't make me feel better. It was the WORST feeling! To make matters worse, I caught my heel on the underside of our kitchen step and tore a chunk out of my heel. Anyway, this morning I decided to go to Urgent Care for the UTI. After rejoining weight watchers (and finding out taht I'd gained WAY too much weight), I went to the urgent care where I was admitted by a handsome physician (the only plus of the day). He was talking to me and asked if I might be pregnant. I said I doubted it, but that we were trying. He said not to get my hopes up, but that sometimes you get a UTI when you are pg, and that he'd run the test. My hopes weren't really "up," but you always do have that glimmer of hope when waiting for pg test results, and I haven't taken one in months, so I think I forgot what it was like. Of course it came back negative, so I got my prescription and left. I don't know why, but it really got to me that I wasn't pg, even though I pretty much knew before the test that I wasn't. I cried all the way home, and not just tears, but sobs, to the point that I had to stop in a parking lot to pull myself together. I can only imagine what people who saw me must have thought!
Why is it that these emotions come sneaking up on us? I have been more relaxed and in control of my TTC emotions over that past few months than I ever had been before, and then...BAM! There I was sobbing like a baby in the parking lot of Walgreens! What gives? I blame it on the hormones (lol). I do feel a bit better now, so maybe I just needed to cry, but it sure did catch me offguard.
Okay, so there's my pity party for the day. Thanks to anyone who has read this far. Oh, and I do have a question. Has anyone found that Clomid increses the frequency of bladder infections? I had one last month, too, and I wonder if maybe the fact that Clomid dries up CM has anything to do with aggravating your urinary tract more. Just a theory. Has this happened to anyone else?
That's really all now. I've made up for my previous brief entry by writing a novel! I am feeling better, and I promise I'll be back to my perky self by my next entry.
Positive thoughts to all,
Laura
