Yesterday, I felt super crappy. Today I feel super crappy. I'm definitely sick with something which is completely deterring me from taking the prednisone this cycle. Not sure if severe allergies, or sinus infection, or strep. All I know is I want to sleep. A lot.
I've decided to try the antihistamine protocol on my own this cycle. It starts at 4dpo (so Mon for me) and consists of taking claritin (which I get bad fall allergies and just refuse to take meds) and pepcid (again I have GERD so whatevs). It also uses baby aspirin (which I'm supposed to take) and prednisone (which I'm going to skip, but might take a very very low dose after 5 days). My acupuncturist has me on a liquid herbal thing, and I start prometrium in a couple days. I'm debating on whether or not I'll test early. I know I'll test before I go in on the 13th for official pregnancy test. I have hope for this cycle, but at the same time, I'm not holding my breath. If this was a natural cycle without an iui, I wouldn't even test, so I might just treat it that way and hope I get a great surprise. Both DH and my mom want me to scale back on my workout intensity. So I'll cut my ankle weights and drop from 15#dumbbells to 10#ones. I'll also walk over running. I just don't want to completely put life on hold until I have a legitimate reason to do so. The one thing I will do, I will cut ab workouts. That is one thing I will definitely scale off. Starting like 2-3 days from now.
