Day 8: Whatever gets you through the night

The relaxing and effective ways in which I am coping with the likelihood of a cancelled cycle:

• Hyperventilating
• Wrenching my shoulders up into a twisted shrug only Chang and Eng Bunker could love
• Producing oceanic tides of stomach acid
• Standing up, sitting down. Standing up, sitting down. Standing up, sitting down to gauge the relative jolt sent through my ovaries by the shock.
