I forgot how much I despise BCPs!!

So I started my BCPs (Birth Control Pills) yesterday and felt fine yesterday but I've had a killer headache and been nauseaus all day today. :-( 3 more weeks of this. I hope my body gets used to it sooner than later. I can't believe I forgot how much I hate BCPs and how my body reacts to all these hormones. I must have been getting used to not being medicated or something. Weird! ;-) Anyway just had to do a quick vent. Nothing too exciting going on. Just trying to increase my water intake, increase my protein, decrease sugar and carbs, increase yoga and meditation. Hmmm...anything else?? Decrease stress of course. I cut out caffeine already. I'm trying to stick to just water and I'm really trying to talk myself into eating healthier. LOL OH and I've concocted my own "tea" since I had to give that up as well. I read on the internet that Honey and Cinnamon mixed together increase fertility (well apparently if you rub it on your gums) so I thought I like honey - I like cinnamon - I think those are "ok" while doing IVF and I couldn't find anything that said it wasn't so......I take 2 tsp of honey mixed with a dash of cinnamon plus 1 cup of boiling water. Voila - "Tea"! A hot drink that tastes good anyway. I'm apparently desperate for a hot drink. I just have one cup in the morning and then water the rest of the day. I haven't quite decided if I should give it up when I start stims. Who knows. OH I do have some excitement! We got the rest of our meds delivered today! SO I am fully stocked and ready to go! It seems like a little box for so much money! The invoice has a picture of a little stork carrying a baby. I hope that's what I'm getting! :-) My fortune did say a small lucky package was on it's way. If that is the meds then I hope they are super lucky and they are my magic little key to getting our baby(ies)!!
