Ladies only!!! - talk me down!

I feel you on the no sleep thing - I've been keeping some weird hours lately with stress/anxiety levels, as discussed in my depression/anxiety thread. I DO have a doctor's appt with my PCM today!!! So hopefully that will be improving soon I'm also working on cutting down (and eventually out) the caffeine.

Did you get tested yet by the doc? You shouldn't need to wait for an appointment for that... Just ask hir to call the test in to the lab.

Hope you got some sleep!

Thinking about you Tortoise. Hope you got some answers.

So far no. If it's negative and no period Monday, I'll go into the clinic to confirm negative and to make sure I don't have a health problem that caused spotting.

Actually - pregnancy would be a nightmare -- postpartum would be worse. I'm bipolar and would have to go off of medication!

I did get 6 hours of sleep - after 40 - 41 hours of insomnia. I'm not feeling like I will be able to sleep anytime soon. I'm hoping for a little sleep tonight.

The withdrawal effects from my medications are brutal but getting a little better. Dizziness on standing, headache, tremor, chills, nausea, insomnia, body aches, this general "discomfort" that I can't really explain.

Sorry. Hang in there.

Oddly craving Carnation Instant Breakfast the last 2 days? Or maybe it is just keeping the empty-stomach-pain/nausea away. Which is conveniently what my midwife had me on with my son because I would puke up prenatals. But then again, heated up it's just like hot cocoa - and I love hot cocoa.

My medication withdrawal symptoms were getting brutal. And after reading more about it, I learned that cold-turkey-ing off my meds is potentially fatal. Yikes. Went back on my meds. I feel tons better. The nausea is gone.

I went into the clinic this morning for a blood serum hCG test. I will know by tomorrow morning.

Now I'm all twitchy. I don't deal with suspense well. and now I'm hoping for a negative. Fickle me, lol
