Waiting for AF

Aunt Flo.  I have to admit, I feel like such a tool using the TTC acronyms, but some of them are just more convenient.  Basically, I am too lazy to write out "trying to conceive" over and over.  So, AF in the TTC community, stands for Aunt Flo.  Personally, I've kind of liked "Aunt Flo" over "period," but I don't usually use it since it's not 1994 and I'm not at Girl Scout sleep-away camp.  Anyway, so AF should be here Saturday.  For once, I am looking forward to it because that will put me into the cycle where I am going to TTC!  Yet, I am also having the worst PMS of all time; I want to go back to bed, I don't want to go to work, I want to eat chocolate, drink wine, and watch Rachel Maddow.  Nothing is worse for PMS by the way, than Rachel Maddow having a day off.  I mean, when I am cranky, I need to know that I can turn my computer on and watch The Rachel Maddow Show from the night before with her as the host, not that other guy. Is that too much to ask?!?!?!  What's pretty scary too is that I am also weaning down on caffeine.  So, PMS and caffeine withdrawal...things could get ugly.  The icing on the cake though is that at some point this month, I am going to have to back off of allergy medication, at least leading up to and through ovulation.  Apparently, allergy meds can interfere with fertility.  I won't go into all of the details of that, but feel free to google it if you're curious as to why.  My allergies have been beastly lately.  So, that's going to be another layer of ugly.  Anyway, things are about to get crazy here and this blog is about to get TMI (that stands for Too Much Information).  So, feel free to back away slowly.
