I'm back!

I'm back.  DH and I took a much needed trip to a cabin in Georgia last week.  I was off for Spring Break and we realized we had not been on a vacation in nearly two years.  YUCK!  I need time away.  Time to rest, rejuvenate, and just forget about real life for a while.  I think we all need that from time to time.  These last two years have been absolutely insane!  The last couple of months a work have been even beyond that.  I can't even begin to describe the drama here.  That would take a whole post on it's own.  And thanks to my little friends HCG and Nalt.rexone my normal 9 day lp went to 12 days so AF didn't arrive in the middle of our trip.  She actually held off until Saturday night about an hour after we got home.  WooHoo!

Thanks for all of your comments on the Nalt.rexone!  So far I'm not really noticing any side effects.  I've had a few pretty vivid dreams but other than that I feel fine.  I'm also not noticing any improvement as far as anxiety or pms go but I'm thinking I need a bit more in my system.  I've only been taking it for a few weeks now and I'm only taking 3mg a day.  If I remember correctly that can be upped?  Right?

So, I know that with the Nalt.rexone you cannot take certain prescribed pain meds but I couldn't find any info regarding alcohol.  I know that the drug is given to alcoholics so I was wondering if drinking would make me sick.  I don't drink often at all...and when I do it isn't usually much.  But I was wondering if it was ok.  I don't want to end up super sick.  While were were in Georgia we went to a wine tasting and I was so terrified.  I only took a small sip of the wines that were poured and I was paranoid that I was going to regret it.  I turned out to be fine but I really barely had a toltal of 1 glass.  I don't want to push my luck...especially when my dose is increased.  Any experience with this?

Hope you all have a fabulous Monday!  My countdown to summer begins today.  :)
