Note to Self: A PSA on Progesterone

The next time I flip out, can't sleep (like REALLY can't sleep), and it's been at least two weeks since my period, someone remind me to TAKE PROMETRIUM.  Low progesterone is an actual cause of anxiety.

That's all. 

Ode to Prometrium

Well, everything that I remembered about Prometrium is true.

1. I'm running hot.
2. I'm off-kilter and woozy.  I think it actually affects my vision.  Things are bright. 
3. Combined with Lunesta, I can SLEEP.  Two days is not a trend.  But it's a gesture.  Although I have often thought that my insomnia (as opposed to Tiny Boy sleep deprivation) was hormonally linked (low serotonin? high cortisol?) and keep a sleep diary, I have not fully tracked it with my cycle.  We'll see if anything changes after my 2 weeks of luteal progesterone...

Interesting being on Prometrium when there's absolutely no chance of being pregnant.  Because that's pretty much what I feel like...


Update:  Scratch that.  Not sleeping is better than being on that shit.

Oh, yes that

Well, there's really no question that Prometrium makes me sleepy.

I'll let you know tomorrow if it makes me SLEEP.

There's something ridiculously ironic about taking fertility drugs for post-infertility insomnia.
