Ache of the Head (Are those voices too?)

Okay peeps, I need suggestions as I feel like I am about to go crazy with my head pounding, aching, and pain induced nausea. My doc gave me Fioricet but it didn't even touch my headache today. Nothing helps much as I've tried Tylenol, massages, hot showers, cold packs, and sleep. Suggestions on alternatives? Help.

Caligula

My sister has a fetish for baby names that started long before I started TTC.  Now instead of sending me lists and lists of names, she picks out her favorite name for the day and texts, emails, or calls me with the name. We started talking about Roman names since my husband has a love affair with history.

So the other day I decided that pumpkin is way too innocuous of a name for this little one inside of me that makes me want to hurl and gives me nightmare headaches. So, I affectionately named him Caligula (after a slightly off his rocker Roman Emperor). hee hee hee Believe me, I love my little Caligula. However as I near the conclusion of my fourth day of a constant excruciating headache, I would like my little Caligula to settle down these crazy hormones! I need some peace.

These are the things they don't share with you when they talk about glowing pregnant women! lol.

Hope all is well with you!

My head hurts

One of the lovely side effects of Lupron (leuprelide) are headaches. Aw, a headache...that won't be so bad! But thanks to my lovely hormonal body, I get massive headaches that feel like migraines with light sensitivity. It wouldn't be so bad if I could just crawl into bed and sleep. But one of my very best friends is here, away from her three kids, visiting ME in Louisiana! Nobody comes to visit me except my family, so I want to have fun!

Yesterday, we went to Nachitoches, which is the cute little town where "Steel Magnolias" was filmed. It's a college town with a historic area on the Cane River with little shops and restaurants to poke into. I ate an interesting fried green tomato BLT and got to taste my friend's side of dirty rice (yum, yum) at The Landing. I was having a nice time until I suddenly had the nausea-inducing-stab-of-pain that hit my head. I felt like my head had been taken over by a painful fog of a headache after that. I still managed to keep going until we got home later that night, and I literally just passed out on my bed. Relief.

What was even more amusing was that DH called from overseas and had to tell me "you might be talking in your head, but I'm not hearing anything." LOL. Poor guy. I remember that I managed to become coherent, but I have no idea what we talked about. Only three more weeks until he is home. In fact, he'll be here when we find out if the IVF is successful or not. Way to show up for the finale! Ha ha!

So here I am the next day, shoveling down another Tylenol and drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper which are all 'approved' by the doctor to try to combat my headaches. My two guests are still asleep. Sweetpea is laying at my feet. Pepper is chasing her tail.

We have another fun day planned for my sister's birthday, so, #1 grow eggies grow and #2 go far, far away my blasted headache.
