Do you think after not having my period for a year and a half that mother nature, in a cruel belittling joke, decided to retroactively add up all the pms I missed and give it to me in one big hormonal dose?
That's what it feels like, the last 3-4 days I've felt like a big lump of goop. Irritable, tired, hungry goop. Sam is finally sleeping and I'm going to bed by like 9-10ish but lately I've been more tired than ever. Seriously, I have less than zero energy today. And yesterday. And the day before.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, what? Oh. Was I typing? That's right, I was talking about my 'please God let it be pms funk'.
Now as soon as a woman describes symptoms of fatigue, crankiness, up and down appetite lots of people become automatic OB's and ask if you're sure you're not pregnant?? Well, without giving unnecessary detail let me just say that P and I have exercised certain measures to ensure Sam #2 doesn't come quite yet. Although in spite of P knowing full well that he hasn't performed his manly duties in a way that produces a child he still keeps asking me am I surrrre I'm not preggers? Hellooo?! He went to public school and I would assume had sex ed, do I really need to keep explaining to him how the whole thing works?
It's just PMS, it must be, right? Of course it is. Ugh, I remember this...anytime I'd get the slightest bit nauseous or my boobs would seem a bit bigger I'd fixate on the thought of could I be pregnant. Which of course I never was, well, except once but that time I knew there was actually a good chance. And even when I was pregnant with Sam all of the symptoms didn't kick in until around 6 wks. This is ridiculous, I'm not even going to entertain the thought anymore, it's a waste of time and blogspace.
When did I get my period last month again?
Was it the 17th or 27th?
I know it ended in a 7, or maybe it was an 8.
I really need to start writing these things down...
Yeah its pretty rough but just keep a calendar handy and literally take a highlighter and mark off the start so next cyle rolls around you can be prepared to fight it off with some serious advil or naproxosodium (Midol).
ReplyDeleteI use charts and calendars - It helps tremendously.
I was just like you, and there was still that question if I was preggo's again! It took John a while to get back into the routine of things just because he saw everything that I had gone through with labor and to mention that I had a 4th degree tear really didnt it make it attractive. It seems that these days PMS days are the worse I am the biggest bitch and dont piss me off because you wont hear the end of it... I actually switched up on the pill and it was like night and day. My gyn told me that it can take up to two years to be on a regular cycle again!
ReplyDeleteFurthermore I get super emotional and protective over Kristian.
