- Waking up in the morning with that feeling that you just laid down 10 minutes ago
- Not getting very much sleep at night or getting too much sleep at night
- Waking up a hundred bajillion times to use the bathroom in the night
- A dark, quiet house
- Headaches
- Watching movies really late at night with all of the lights out *big fat snore*
- Watching anything with subtitles too late into the evening
- A busy, exhausting day at work
- Spending too long out in 90° or higher temperatures
- My doggies. Sometimes they just plain ol’ make me tired!
- Stress
I realize that is quite a lame thing to write a list about. But I’m really feeling tired right now and that is the only thing I can bring to mind. I don’t know if I mentioned here or not but I’ve stopped drinking caffeine. Now, I do sneak in a glass of iced tea here and there but I did stop drinking regular diet sodas. I’m only drinking caffeine free ones now and it sucks because NO ONE carries a caffeine free variety. I’m sure before I turned into a caffeine snob I would have thought it was ridiculous for McDonald’s to carry a caffeine free diet coke. But now? Oh how I wish they had that option!
I stopped drinking caffeine for two reasons. First of all, caffeine does nothing for me. So luckily I haven’t experienced any obvious caffeine withdrawal symptoms. So what is the point of drinking all of this caffeine that is bad for me, if it really has no effect? The second reason I stopped is because I really want to have a baby and I’ve read so many negative things about caffeine regarding fertility and also pregnancy. So why not get a head start? It seems as though when I am at my tiredest and I really want to go get a pop, all I have to do is grab a caffeine free Diet Coke or Diet Dr. Pepper and it does the trick. I think my body wakes up from that ice cold, bubbly feeling that I get when I sip on a soda. I think the caffeine has just had no effect on me, at all.
So.. here I am on my second cycle since I stopped taking birth control. I’d absolutely love to be pregnant right now but at the same time, it wouldn’t be the end of the world if I wasn’t. I worry alot about getting pregnant. After reading through so many blogs of women who had fertility problems over the last 5 or more years, I’ve become quit the Paranoia Queen. You never know you have a problem until you start trying. And I’m twenty six years old! I realize that is still young but in my head I feel like I am getting older. I don’t want to be popping out babies in my late thirties. I wanna be done by then! So we’ll see..
Whatever you do, send me lots of fertility vibes. I’ll need them :) Now… time to go attempt to make babies.. That’s the best part, right? The trying? Hee hee.
