Thanks for the welcome...

My symptoms? WEllHeadaches. Located on the right side of my head, lined up with my right pupil, and about two inches back from the forehead. It then spreads into the eye, back of the head, and the face. It is sometimes what you would call an ice pick headache, but that's not the norm. If I don't have this when I wake up, I almost always have it by the evening. Tinnitus which is way worse than it was before the concussion. Fatigue. Inability to think clearly at times, usually accompanied by worsening headache. Inability to read much more than a sentence or two at a time. My mood seem fairly stable thankfully, but I do find myself frustrated with the whole situation.

As for delaying TTC... In a utopian world that would be great, but it's just not realistic. I am nearly 39 years old, we've been at this nearly a year already. If we delay any amount there's the possibility we won't get pregnant at all, and well, with all the money we've already spent, and all the hopes and dreams tied up in this, it's just not a possibility. Thankfully the round of clomid didn't seem to affect my headache as there was little to no change.... and the way I look at it, I will have nine months to clear the symptoms...

I AM finally improving, even if just a hint. I now have some days where my head doesn't hurt till later. But it has been 8 weeks, and it's just dragging on a little long for my tastes... I do my best to stay resting all the time, but sundays tends to be a bit busier given church and family (we live outside of a major center and go in for church and to visit)....

I think I answered everything.
