I need your advice. (Long)
I have been feeling pretty crappy for the past few days. I'm constantly getting headaches. I feel tired all of the time. And lately I've feeling
nauseous.
I do wear glasses with a light Rx for reading and computer use, and I use my computer 12+ hours a day. So the headaches could be coming from that.
I've been on a new (new to me) Rx for BCP (Yaz) for a couple of months. I'm on my third packet. The hormones could just be screwing with my system, right?
I haven't had any slip-ups with taking my pills vs. getting freaky with DH. Pretty damn sure on that one.
So what gives? What's with the fatigue and the nausea? Should I POAS?
I do have a BP check with my OB/GYN next Wednesday, and I'm planning on talking about this with them. I just wanted your input.
-----------------------
On another note, I am absolutely terrified of getting pregnant again right now. Don't get me wrong - DH and I really want to ahve more kids someday. Just not now. Now is a terrible time, considering we're mooching off of my ILs and don't even have our own place to live.
I just want to enjoy my son right now before I go off and get pregnant with #2.

Goodness, I hope so.

OMG I'm right there with you with the fatigue, nausea and headaches!!! My friend who had a baby awhile back suggested that I go get a physical. She had one and her thyroid was acting up. Doc said that was pretty common after having a baby and she was feeling the same way.
Could be that, could be anemia, could just be hormones. Whatever it is...I hope you feel better soon!!!!
FYI DS brought home a bug from daycare and both DH and I have been sick off & on for 2 weeks with headaches, nausea, etc. I took 2 pregnancy tests (both before and after my last period) because I didn't know what else it could be, but maybe you have a similar virus going around.

it could be eye strain. but have you considered a food allergy. do you eat a lot of the same thing? that can cause you to develop an allergy you didnt have before.
Also processed foods will do this to you. There is a lot of soy filler in processed foods that can screw with your body. While soy can be healthy, it can also do a lot of damage.
i've cut out a lot of processed foods from my diet because I used to feel like this. When i cut back I always feel 100% better. I've fallen off the wagon recently and feel like poo again.?
How is your diet? Are you drinking enough water? Getting enough iron, fibre and fruits and veggies? Sleeping at all? Too much caffeine?
POAS for piece of mind, but take a look at your basic needs and see if you are meeting those things. Good luck.
