I'm hoping it's just the heat... I woke up feeling sick again, so I took some anti- nausea medication so I was capable to make breakfast. I don't want Paul to suffer just because I'm not feeling well... And the poor man should NOT be allowed near the kitchen (at least in the morning!)... He's even worse at cooking than I was before I moved here (Quite impressive, really!) Luckily it's working fairly well.

I tried to do stuff for my hubby but he figured that not eating cooked meals (but chips were ok) at all was best...and by the way, as the daughter of a Cordon Bleu, it is not because I cannot cook.

I take care of him as best I can, and he does the same for me. It works out quite nicely.

I've still been feeling sick today, so I spent most of the day lying down. I managed not to.. lose.. my lunch today though, so that's an improvement.

Made a new hair toy out of an old bracelet... very pretty, will post pictures when I feel up to fiddling with the camera. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go lay down again soon.

most unfortunately, as the nausea has kept up for 3 days now, and I've had some other unusual symptoms, that is on the shopping list for today. I'm... kind of torn about what I hope the results will be, honestly. At the same time both fearful and excited. Is that odd? Of course, IF I am, it may be too recent to show up yet on a test, too. *grimace* the only type of test I hate.. the type where I don't know the answers.

I can't even rely on the fact that I had... the females' curse... recently... my aforementioned friend bridget was nice and regular until she was 4 months along. She went to the doctor for the test and ... they found a nice strong heartbeat.

of course, just thinking about it, and not KNOWING... makes my stomach do bellyflops even worse.

Bleah.

K,

Aww. Stress for K. I wish I had some great words here. I think all woman fear a positive but get excited about it too. I have never been blessed with children...one of my regrets...but I have gone though the testing part. God will not give you anything you cannot handle, either way. If it is time, it will be positive, and if it is not...you are young yet.

Umm, I do know there is one test that gives results up to 4 days before the curse. I dunno the name though.

Keeping you in my thoughts. Hang in there.

you know, that part has always confused me a bit... the test measures hormone levels present in the urine, the most accurate ones testing correctly at 2-3 weeks.

my question " tests accurately up to four days before your missed period" ... what if you only have implantation say, 1 week beforeyou miss? are they saying they could potentially test the level of hormone present at 3-5 days? I don't buy it.

Ah, Ok, this I can field.

Women only ovulate for a couple of days and it is pretty much aroung the midde of 'the month', with a day or two of variance for each woman. Even for implantation, you have to go to the clinic everyday for a blood test so they can check that the hormone levels are right for implanation which is then done for 2 consecutive days. In fact, you can even buy urine based fertility kits at the pharmacy if you are trying without science helping. Therefore, when you find miss, you have actually been pregnant for near 2 weeks (give or take a day or so depending on the woman).

I know about implantation (or in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination) because my husband was sterile and so we were supposed to start the process about 3 days after he left. I had spent 6 months doing the prelude test, etc...but obviously, without a husband and with my health problems, having a child (as desperately as I wanted one) would have been selfish of me. I can still go for the procedure for up to a year after the testing...as in this coming Xmas, but nothing is going to change for me so it will not happen Cry

Does that help?

that does answer another question I had as well... IF I am, when It would have occured. We've been so busy lately, working such godawful hours, that we've only been able to take time for ourselves two or three times in the past month... I can now say that indeed, one of those times was in the critical period.

I'll know tomorrow if it's positive...(morning is the best time to test, apparently) If it's negative, we shall wait two weeks and test again, as it may still be too early to tell.

The good news, Nilla wafer cookies are good at preventing nausea.

Spearmint oil is safe whether you're pregnant or not.

Well, I guess it's only fair of me to report the results. Apparently it is K. only for the time being, not K+1. (in other words, negative) Which is a good thing, I suppose, We're nowhere near prepared to have children just yet. I can't help feeling a little down about it though, and it still doesn't explain the everpresent nausea, tiredness, etc.

Hair: Godawful. I haven't taken the time to wash it since I started feeling so sick, so it's greasy, grimy, and has been braided for two days. I guess letting the natural oils soak in is good for it, but that doesn't change the fact that it's icky looking. The ends are feeling softer though, so I guess that's the one upside to this. Well, that and I've lost about two pounds. Undecided

something about only digesting a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, half a cheeseburger, and about half of a small meal, in four days... Well, that and half a box of nilla wafers. *is getting sick of nilla wafers* I'm feeling the smidgiest bit better (er... tiniest) today, though, so here's hoping food and I get along better soon!

I hope you figure out what is wrong with you soon. Are you planning on seeing a doc? Might be a good idea if you can't eat and are so drained. Hang in there and take care. JD

I'm finally starting to feel a little better, actually. Not anything near 100%.. maybe 57.34%... but that's far better than I was. I dislike doctors unless there's no getting around it (massive blood loss, broken bones, coma, etc)

Oddly enough, I've discovered something else that helps... Root Beer. Huh

I was thirsty, wanted something other than water, but all we had was root beer. had a small cup, and it appears to be settling my stomach down better than anything else.
