This week has been pretty rough. I'm always nervous when I start the shots, even though I know I've done it before and will have no problems - I'm still anxious.

The medications themselves are going well - the shots are smooth and only hurt a bit. But we've had a few issues....

My biggest problem has been my lack of sleep. Each night I've been waking up 2-3 times - which doesn't lend itself to a good night's sleep. I've been so tired and drained and just hoping to sleep the night through!

Then I also got some information that floored me! I've been drinking Chai Tea at night - it is my little ritual - I make one then do some scrapbooking.... all the while because I thought it was a "good" substitute... it is 99.8% Caffeine free. Well after my sleeping this week I thought maybe I misread the container. This container I have doesn't have ANY info on caffeine. So I called the company who makes it and asked about the content. Sure enough... it has caffeine... and ALOT of it. About 60 mg.... which is almost TWO sodas. I've been doing this probably 4-5 times a week. NOT GOOD!! I was freaking out. I know caffeine isn't good for you and typically don't drink much of it - but here I am having almost 2 sodas a day, but not knowing? I was so mad at myself. Of course I stopped - those puppies are getting returned! How can they not list that as an ingredient??? Then after I stopped I had a dull headache for 2 days - maybe my body needed the caffeine? Not a happy camper but most importantly I'm upset ingredients don't have to be listed - that just doesn't seem right especially with an ingredient such as this that can be detrimental!

So today was a day to reflect - forgive myself - and get some rest. Keeping my chin up and hoping this is our lucky cycle.
