Infertility

Craving pickles

Ok. It's only 4dp3dt. But I'm blaming my absurd trip to the grocery store on cravings. I just went out of my way to buy a jar of pickles. No need to flame. I know for a fact these are not pregnancy cravings. I'm just a weirdo. But these pickles taste damn good. Plus it's kind of fun to pretend.

    I'm feeling better but have been laying around all day.  I think it's the blue dye coating on the pills that just doesn't agree with me.  Waiting on the nurse to get back with me to see if I can take the next dose with food.

    Thanks for asking!
