I used to able to push through that 2 am downtime, but this time I couldn't. Even more scary was the mid-day shut downs. And when I say used to, I mean a couple of months ago. August.
Ok, what's really scary is being over a week late now. I *know* I can't be pregnant. I might forget having sex, but both my husband and I aren't likely to forget it at the same time. I even took a pregnancy test today. Negative.
But my little OCD voice is whispering that that would explain why I'm so tired. And that I shouldn't take my meds. That I'll harm the baby.
I'm overriding the fears so far, because I know I can't be pregnant. Even if I was another immaculate conception, the pregnancy test says no. So it's safe to take my meds.
Sigh. 42 is awfully young for menopause. And I don't think I've had any symptoms other than growing some chin hairs.
