The morning after

torquillI woke up this morning -- wait, I didn't really wake up this morning. I dozed for three hours until I finally dragged myself upright and took some naproxen. The cramps were debilitating.
Withdrawal profile: Nausea, definitely. Fatigue, lethargy (boy howdy), brain fog, a sense of hopelessness, apathy, and feeling like everything between my navel and my thighs was one big spasm. My temperature was 98.6 on getting up, which I will grant was later than yesterday... but my temperature is not dropping. I'm getting convinced that it will never drop on its own. I'm stuck.
Screw this. I know I was going to wait a few more days to ensure that my period won't start on its own, but if I wait too much longer, I run the risk of departing on my camping trip while still bleeding. The North Coast isn't as bad as the desert for cleanliness options, but I'd still really rather not be going through the horrible blood loss while I'm out there.
I'm pretty convinced that my period will start within a couple of days of starting regular GSE. If it doesn't, I should still have time to try progesterone, though the timing is getting tight.
I guess, if all goes terribly wrong, I can cancel my campsite reservation for about $16; maybe I could re-plan for sometime later in September.
Dammit... I hate not having a second opinion.
