a note to family:

These pages discuss PCOS and infertility (and, hopefully, one day pregnancy) with a sense of blunt, gory honesty. Some few things are private and we don't talk about them here, but much of the graphic workings, both physical and emotional, of our infertility journey are laid out bare, and are not for those who might be sensitive to reading them. Your curiosity may be better sated by asking us the questions you want to ask directly.

Brain is off, try again later.

I've fought insomnia since my teens, really. I'm having a particularly bad patch of it at the moment. I don't think I've had more than 6 hours sleep total in the past week. Each day I drag a little more, and each time I wake up my eyes are more sore. I'm starting to shake and bump into things.

Tonight I drug Shawn to bed early-ish (around 10:30p) since he opens tomorrow, and we laid there for about 30 minutes with him sleepily trying to put me to sleep, but it's just not something he's good at. Once he's in bed he can conk out instantly, and gets really sleepy, so staying awake to try to help someone else sleep isn't really an option.

I did fall asleep, though not very deep, a little after midnight sometime. I woke up a few times and went back to sleep, but then was totally awake at 1:13a and completely unable to fall back asleep. Yesterday I laid in bed doing nothing for hours trying to fall back asleep after only getting about two hours, and my body just would not cooperate.

Much longer and my brain is just going to collapse into a pile of goo. I may have Shawn drag me to CVS tomorrow to see if we can grab some Calms Forté to see if that can knock me out.
