Just Another Manic Tuesday...

I've been sick with flu like symptoms since Saturday. Taking care of a toddler and feeling achy and cloudy, coughy....etc is the worst. DH and I are planning on ttc for number 2 this weekend, but I'm scared bc I will be taking medication to get rid of this cold or flu. I'm worried that if I take the wrong medication and we are successful this weekend, something will go wrong. I had a mc in October, so I'm playing it safe as going by any book I can get my hands on! Don't want to suffer another loss. I hear robitussin is good bc it promotes CM. I have to check on NyQuil bc that's the only way I can sleep. DS sounds like he's congested now. I HATE taking care of a sick child. It's pathetic and I feel helpless. I've been coughing into a tissue or antibacterialing constantly. My hands look like that of a 99yo. My manic Monday continued into Tuesday!!! Keeping FX that everything works out this weekend and I get rid of this freaking sickness! Happy Tuesday to you!

What if you used Vicks instead for some relief during the night? Have you tried that?
And, your medications aren't getting rid of your illness, they're just masking the symptoms of it. So, if you're dead set on TTC this weekend, you can quit your meds no sweat. It won't cause your illness to re-surge or anything of that nature. In any event, I hope it's just plain gone by this weekend. I can't imagine being sick that long!! Yuck!!
Just a thought. I'm so sorry that you're sick. That blows!! If it makes you feel any better, DS2 was conceived while I was taking an antibiotic for a UTI. He's a little ox boy!!
When I was 5 weeks with ds2 I got a horrific stomach flu. He's fine though!
Good luck TTC.
That is totally understandable. I would say take the meds until you get closer to the end of the week. Hopefully by then you will be feeling somewhat better already - and good luck on TTC!
