Does everyone else work at this point?

Post by nicaliw »

Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone else out there feels like they shouldn't be working when they're stimming? I am on day 8 of stimming and I feel quite rough....you know the symptoms.
I work 12 hours night shift and I'm supposed to be working tomorrow and the next night. Right now I'm not sure I'm going to make it. Does anyone else feel this way or am I just being silly?

I work during stims but I am gentle on myself. I also don't have 12 hour shifts. If I didn't work, I'd go crazy.
Do you want see the man in charge or the women who knows what's going on?

I am a nurse and I also work 12 hour nights and when I was stimming I was walking slow in the hallways...It was rough. I did get a note to take some time off after the retrieval and the transfer. I just didnt want to be working those kinds of hours while going through something so important. After the transfer I kind of just let my mind get back to my work making the 2WW faster and less annoying. OK so it was still annoying at least it was faster! LOL Good Luck to you and lots of baby dust!
