Some good..some not so good....

I have been feeling really gross lately. Very upset stomach, major headaches, excessive hair loss, stomach cramps, fatigue, restlessness, irritablility. It was all really bugging me and i started to wonder, could i be expecting?! A little panic set in, but i did some googling and discovered, its my lovely birth control. So, ive thrown away the pack and going to go with a different contraceptive. I do not want to live every day like that!!
I got some great news today. I went on sick leave before i had Mataiya and when i applied for my claim they said that i would have 15 weeks of sick leave and then proceed onto normal benefits. Well, ive been keeping track of everything online and i was looking into it a little bit more because it said my claim was only good till the end of december and that didnt make any sense. So, i called today and she said my claim runs out in the middle of March! YAY!! Thats going to be so lovely, so even if the fostering process takes a little longer i wont have to worry!! Such a huge blessing!!

  1. Birth control is so stupid that way. I often had serious mood swings and hot/cold flashes while on the pill.

    Glad to hear you get more paid time off. Finances are always a stressful topic.

  2. That is so weird that your birth control would do that. I'm pretty sure we were on the same kind and I have had absolutely no side effects, except for maybe a little more moodiness.
