Still Sick.

Yes, I'm still WAY under the weather, and last night was probably the worst of all so far with the coughing.

I don't know if it's because last night was the first night I opted not to put Vicks Vapo-Rub on my chest or if the cough was just going to be bad regardless.

I'm taking Sudafed for the congestion (even though it's not "pregnancy safe") because I need the relief. I'm quite sure I'm not pregnant right now. If I even ovulated this cycle, it was probably not until sometime yesterday, or maybe early today. Being sick though, I'm not really sure.

I'm also taking a prescription cough pill (which the doctor at the urgent care said is safe for pregnancy) that seems to help during the day, but I tell you ... as soon as I try to lay down, I just cough and cough and cough. I have NO voice.

I'm guessing I'm going to stay home for one more day just to try to rest up some. I am trying not to use any of my leave because on the slim chance we do get pregnant, I am going to want to have at least 8 weeks off. I have about 12 weeks total in my bank right now, so I'm okay and I know we'll cross that bridge when it comes. Still, I am trying to be careful.

As for calling in tomorrow ... that will be the 4th time in 7 years that I've called in. It's just not something I do lightly, and I feel horribly guilty every.single.time which is why I so rarely do. Luckily, I was already off today, so it didn't count!!

On Friday, I'll go for my b/w and u/s to check my response this cycle. I'm not going to hold my breath, but I'll update one way or the other afterwards!

Happy?? Monday!
