<br />
Lucky woke Dan with a gift bag filled with shredded tissue paper AND a Clearblue Digital Pregnancy test.. <br />
<br />
Yep, Dan finally knows! <br />
<br />
I've been desperate to tell him but after being heartbroken with Luckys early test which was a bfn, he vowed never to do an early test again... <br />
<br />
In Dans words "..the R***** family just got bigger" :) <br />
<br />
Early pregnancy unit will be doing a test on Wednesday. yet another milestone to get through! :S <br />
<br />
..and our clinic will also do betas <br />
<br />
..this will. be a long week! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Confirmed with Nurture <br />
...I've been contacting Nurture the last few days.. Leaving 2 messages a day.. Do I have a reply? Nothing, nada, zilch! <br />
Typical nurture. So peed off, part of me think why should I bother calling them again.. <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDzgujFbB0sSEqt4flLM6i3vO4hqy7hdN-sclSc28iaU7ZuI7wd4XDRIWn2Vw5b6HAl73nUWh4edOf55ZV8sAnxKpMhsbW3pCtn88NuTx2pboEvSxZR4kDeS7AnpHuE3em7uE6WhCF2uII/s640/blogger-image-381083060.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDzgujFbB0sSEqt4flLM6i3vO4hqy7hdN-sclSc28iaU7ZuI7wd4XDRIWn2Vw5b6HAl73nUWh4edOf55ZV8sAnxKpMhsbW3pCtn88NuTx2pboEvSxZR4kDeS7AnpHuE3em7uE6WhCF2uII/s640/blogger-image-381083060.jpg" /></a></div>Boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17547658409589705165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590703759090649121.post-75316248121430402602012-09-16T20:24:00.002+01:002012-09-18T19:07:23.576+01:004DP BFP!!

<strong></strong><br />
<strong>2dp 5dt</strong> (WEDNESDAY)<br />
Resting & Relaxing<br />
<ul>
<li>3 sharp twinges</li>
<li>Crazy but, after gripping hold of the sink through the pain of the twinges, I equally punched the air in delight that I was getting some symptoms as I did with Lucky at this stage. </li>
<li>Dull back and tummy ache; bloated from cyclogest </li>
<li>Tender tummy </li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>3dp 5dt</strong> (THURSDAY)<br />
Hormonal Wreck - BEWARE!<br />
<ul>
<li>Tearful, emotional wreck no symptoms like Lucky.. Just want alcohol, a hot bath and to go back to work! </li>
<li>Fed up of this IVF malarkey... </li>
<li>Just want my life back</li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>4dp 5dt </strong>(FRIDAY)<br />
OMG - BFP!<br />
<ul>
<li>Dull back ache </li>
<li>Dull heaviness / bloated tummy </li>
<li>Sharp pains once in a while </li>
<li>If you squint real hard and use a magnifying glass you may recognise a BFP</li>
</ul>
Why did I test so early?<br />
Firstly, this was a natural cycle so I don't have any trigger shot to worry about... Most importantly, I was losing my mind! I honestly don't know how women get through the 2ww without wanting to test? I've been TTC since 2006 and NEVER get the pleasure of POAS with a slight glimmer of hope that it will be a BFP, because its near impossible! IVF gives me the chance to POAS with the hope, that moment of 'will it work?' so yes, your right.. waiting till the OTD is ideal... but for me, I was losing my marbles on google, over analysing every and anything my body did, lost sleep thinking about it.. So for ME testing early works. If it was a BFN (it took the full 3mins to give this result... and believe me 3mins can feel like a lifetime!!) ...I'd cry, grieve and move on. No more wondering, over thinking, driving myself insane! <br />

<strong>5dp 5dt</strong> (SATURDAY)<br />
<ul>
<li>Only a couple sharp pains when they stop I feel dizzy</li>
<li>Nausea whilst on the tram to my friends wedding reception </li>
<li>Hormonal / emotional wreck.. I could verbally rip someones head off (my husband would do fine!) </li>
<li>Met the lovely CFB from fertility friends.. Walked around Nottm and both lost going home, looking forward to seeing her again tomorrow :) x</li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>6dp 5dt</strong> (SUNDAY)<br />
Another bfp - getting darker! No squinting needed.. <br />
<ul>
<li>Sharp tingle on right ovary</li>
<li>Then 12hrs later another slight pain.. Not as frequent as the last few days </li>
<li>Whilst laying down I had a wave of "letdown reflex" feeling ... I'm not sure how else to describe it. But during breastfeeding you have this sensation from the chest to the nipple when it's time to feed. Basically this is your milk coming down aka as 'let down'.... and I just had the same feeling! I stopped feeding Lucky 9mths ago in prep for IVF so it's definitely nothing to do with him!! </li>
<li>Less tummy cramps, but deep throb at my back for hours....</li>
<li>I can't believe it..... As Karen from FF said: I'm not PUPO, I'm PREGNANT!! ...and so will she be, as my bump buddy xx </li>

<br />
I can't believe this time last week Clover & Star were still frozen...!! I just hope and pray with every cell of my body this isn't taken away from me... I don't think I can cope with another miscarriage. I've prayed for a BFP if they are healthy and make the full 9mths.... <br />
<br />
Hoping this week continues with BFPs with a line that gets stronger and thicker. <br />
<br />
<strong>7DP 5DT</strong> (Monday)<br />
<ul>
<li>Cramps have stopped, but i guess implantation has come to an end now?? Who knows...</li>
<li>Sore / sensitive boobs</li>

I've woken up with butterflies in my tummy.. Anxious about this mornings call! Praying and hoping for good news <br />
<br />
0827 <br />
Sophie the embryologist called.. I was clinging hold of whether it was "sorry to inform you.." or "I'm pleased to say.." Thank God it was the latter. Out of the 3 IVF blastocysts that were thawed 2 survived and are of "good" quality.. (not excellent, I guess.. Do I want too much??) I've shed a tear for the one that didn't make it.. :,( I feel so attached to them - willing them all to do well. But I'll look at it from the other point of view that I have 2 good blastocysts and it only takes 1. <br />
She did the usually script of if they remain of good quality I will be highly likely to have twins.. Etc etc etc.. I've heard it at every appointment with nurture now. We've both read up on the risks of multiple pregnancy <br />
<br />
"Hang in there Star & Clover... please improve over the next few hours!!" <br />
<br />
1103 <br />
Thankfully Lucky has kept me busy this morning; been to a toddler group, organised his bits for this afternoon with MIL and just put him down for a nap.. 1hr 30mins till Star & Clover are back where they belong! Really hoping and praying they are both thriving still. <br />
<br />
1154<br />
"They will both still be there and of good quality"<br />
<br />
"They will both still be there and of good quality"<br />
<br />
"They will both still be there and of good quality"<br />
<br />
I'm officially an emotional wreck! I've cried the entire journey here.. I presume they would have phoned if they hadn't of survived? I can't cope... I can barely breathe.. I feel sick! Sweet Jesus, I'm a bag of nerves<br />
<br />
1258<br />
What a difference an hour makes ;) I'm pregnant with 2x A grade blastocysts.. Absolutely thrilled to pieces. Star & Clover are back home where they should be. I'm in love. My family is complete.. Can't wait to see them at the scan in a few months.. Hang in there spuds xx <br />
<br />
1551 <br />
At home resting in bed with my crochet and novel .. It was horrible Lucky running up to me as I came through the door, asking to be picked up for a cuddle :( I'm going to try and refrain from lifting him for the first week... MIL, Dan & Lucky have gone out to give me some time to rest. Just checked my email and received a message from the embryologist with a picture of my perfect beautiful blastocyst.. Just seeing them reminded me of Lucky on ET day and during the 2ww :) <br />
I didn't have time to write this earlier; in the theatre I had the nurse, embryologist and consultant explain that I shouldn't have them both back in due to the quality of them - if the cycle is successful I have a high chance of it being a multiple birth (twins or triplets due to them being blasts) which brings about increase chance of miscarriage, health complications, stillbirth etc etc. Talk about put you on under pressure. I ended up calling Dan (partly to get them out of the room so I could think clearly) and just to give him an update. Poor guy was half asleep still from his night shift and no idea what I was on about! We left it as; whatever is meant to be.. Will happen! Nurture weren't happy but they don't refreeze after thaw (due to lack of medical research).. So how on earth can I leave my "baby" to perish!?? <br />
Anywho.. It's done now! :) I'm on cloud 9 ... Over the moon... <br />
<br />
Snuggle up tight Star & Clover.. Make yourself at home, you'll be there for 9mths xx<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ISoJSRrNmj0w_8h0SsJeggHt2BwePG7-cAevvyimCzqi_-dLfAn18I3JJxAjr4IoRZ36rtzjSIO5zCKSGAZzpv49aqblqGXrW3eifa4D4ATzQyw79pytmSlVX7M_CQMG-BigVJbK-N9S/s640/blogger-image--567402488.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ISoJSRrNmj0w_8h0SsJeggHt2BwePG7-cAevvyimCzqi_-dLfAn18I3JJxAjr4IoRZ36rtzjSIO5zCKSGAZzpv49aqblqGXrW3eifa4D4ATzQyw79pytmSlVX7M_CQMG-BigVJbK-N9S/s640/blogger-image--567402488.jpg" /></a></div>Boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17547658409589705165noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590703759090649121.post-66489529413201529792012-09-09T07:23:00.001+01:002012-09-09T07:23:32.220+01:00IVF Two Week Wait via Instagram PicturesThose of you who know me personally, will be aware that I'm a complete instagram addict! <br />

<br />
I really doubt they will get my voice message so I'm going to be positive in knowing we've made the right decision.. They are getting to pick the best quality blastocyst by thawing the 3 of them.. <br />
<br />
This has got to work!! <br />
<br />

Clearly due to the cyclogest! <br />
<br />
Tracey the embryologist called about 9am to confirm whether I was going for 1 or 2 blastocyst. <br />
<br />
If I go for 1 blastocyst, they will thaw 2 and use the best 1.<br />
<br />
If I go for 2 blastocyst, they will thaw 3 and use the best 2. <br />
<br />
We are opting for the 3 IVF blastocyst to be thawed, leaving the ICSI one.<br />
<br />
They try not to transfer both ICSI and IVF embryo's as the HFEA like to know which was successful, but if the thaw doesn't go well they will use the ICSI <br />
<br />
I'm usually positive but I've naively thought the thaw would be ok. I kind of forgot about the 70% successful thaw rate and reading that for some women nothing thaws! :-( <br />
<br />
Going to try and take my mind of it now.. Decisions made and i will have 2 blastocyst transferred on Monday!! <br />
<br />
I will get a call between 0830 and 0900 to see how they have thawed. I'm pencilled in for ET at 1230 but "that depends on if we have anything to transfer" (...as she put it!) and may change depending on the other ladies booked in. I'll need to be there for 1200. <br />
<br />
I'm off to squeeze Lucky ..I hope I can get him a sibling!! :-/ <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Update.. I'm confused isn't 3 too many to use?? I've left a voicemail message with nurture, but doubt anyone will pick it up on a Sunday??! <br />
<br />

<br />
Completely forgot whether cyclogest goes vaginally or anally ... So opted for anally; less mess. <br />
<br />
I called Nurture in the morning to let them know I've ovulated and to confirm where I put the cyclogest. <br />
<br />
- cyclogest is vaginally inserted<br />
- twice a day <br />
- starting from ovulation <br />
<br />
Popped to Tescos after work and have a basket typical for any IVF 2ww woman ;) <br />
- 4 or 5 brazil nuts a day<br />
- small glass of pineapple <br />
- panty liner for the messy cyclogest<br />
- pregnancy tests! Tesco own brand was recommended to me as a friend got a bfp 9dpo with them.. And only £3.50 for 2 - bargain!! <br />
<br />

Made the mistake of not bringing the pushchair so Lucky was touching everything; wanting to "sign" the forms, answer the phone, use the keyboard... The nurse gave him the pleasure of switching of the lights as we left the room - typical little boy; into everything! I explained my concern about the ET booked in on Monday, and lack of positive ovulation. The nurse took my notes through to the doctor but returned saying they were expecting me to OV today and sure I'll ovulate soon so won't be scanning me or taking my bloods. Slightly peed off, but hey...<br />
<br />
Just had a 10hr shift at work and definitely felt more CM and tummy tingles today so tested when I got home.... <br />
<br />
Eek they were right!! I'm ovulating :) <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSRPOkv-yGGwkjg4FqdBTz54_dXUVjuPF9E0durdmIRbDav8LuWSH6D4Xsvybpk2XfwELlWzFJ_4QBudiny_xTOk9JR91QYSPc_i92IWPkrIVFeoyWAIxqb3zYJ49xM8l7BzclWVD8u_YG/s640/blogger-image-2018440445.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSRPOkv-yGGwkjg4FqdBTz54_dXUVjuPF9E0durdmIRbDav8LuWSH6D4Xsvybpk2XfwELlWzFJ_4QBudiny_xTOk9JR91QYSPc_i92IWPkrIVFeoyWAIxqb3zYJ49xM8l7BzclWVD8u_YG/s640/blogger-image-2018440445.jpg" /></a></div>Boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17547658409589705165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590703759090649121.post-92085319919485099212012-09-04T18:54:00.001+01:002012-09-04T19:06:19.051+01:00CD11 Nurse Update - ET Booked!I decided to have a lastminute annual leave day, I'm absolutely exhausted and the weather was nice for us to have a family day together. We had a lovely day at Elvaston Castle & Country Park which Lucky enjoyed :) <br />
<br />
Nurse called at lunch..<br />
1) No more scans; they are happy with my cycle, womb lining progression and my body seems to be ovulating naturally. We are booked in to have ET on Monday (CD17)<br />
<br />
2) I need to start the cyclogest on Thursday, using 1x twice a day (which will be CD13)<br />
<br />
3) Continue taking using the clearblue digital opk and call them when I have a surge <br />
<br />
4) the embryologist will call on Saturday. I presume this is to discuss the quality and quantity we want transferring... Still none the wiser!! <br />
<br />
5) come in tomorrow to sign consent forms and we'll need to give them results for the HIV, Hep B & C bloods <br />
<br />
6) Asked whether I'm taking folic acid.. Umm for the last year or so! <br />
<br />
Phew, I had to try and remember all that whist Lucky was screeching for his banana... I think that's all??! <br />
<br />
Monday's ET seems a little premature?? I haven't ovulated yet, and it's meant to be 5 days after oV as they are 5 day blastocyst!!? Don't quite understand that.. I'll do a opk tomorrow and if it's not positive I'll ask at the appointment <br />
<br />
Can't believe it! I'll be PUPO this time next week :D <br />
<br />
I hope & pray this works x<br />

Follicle - 21mm <br />

<br />
1) use the clearblue opk tonight - Negative Result <br />
<br />
2) my follicle is on the large side (1.9cm) and the Doctor wants to monitor me closely, so I'm back in tomorrow for bloods and a scan <br />
<br />
After the scan today I left QMC in pain having to grip hold of Luckys pram just to get me through the intense throbbing ache. This is the usual pre-OV symptoms for me, so I'm not surprised I have large follicles! <br />
<br />
Anywho, back tomorrow... :) Boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17547658409589705165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590703759090649121.post-35036673528974646312012-09-03T08:59:00.001+01:002012-09-03T19:11:31.973+01:00Natural FET Cycle Diary CD10 - Busy BeeJust got back for the CD10 scan.. All looking good <br />
<br />
Womb lining 9mm<br />
Follicle 19mm<br />
Triple endometrium <br />
<br />
Bloods were taken, will get call later today. They gave me clearblue digital ovulation sticks to start tomorrow. Afraid I had to bring Lucky with me :( I'm sure a few women didn't appreciate that.. But there's no-one to watch him *sigh* hope I didn't upset anyone too much :-/ <br />
<br />
Now back home to give Lucky a proper breakfast and need to... <br />
1. Get a copy of our HIV & hepatitis blood results from the GP <br />
2. Collect cyclogest from ASDA pharmacy <br />
3. Get to The Range to buy card for Luckys cbeebies birthday card I need to make<br />
4. Then start a night shift at work.. <br />
<br />
Just call me superwoman!

<br />
Ovulation isn't due till Friday-ish.. So I guess I'll be back and forward to Nurture every few days awaiting till it happens! <br />
<br />
MIL watched Lucky for us and we went out for an anniversary meal and drinks last night. Then today we had a lovely photo shoot at Elvaston Castle! Can't wait to see the pictures :) <br />
<br />
Whilst doing treatment we always discuss.. "if this doesn't work, then what?" ...Last night we spoke about egg share and adoption - once again! <br />
<br />
Super duper tired, so i'll explain more about the adoption & egg share discussion in another blog post.. going to let Zita West drift me off to sleep...

I wish I drank coffee... <br />
<br />
Dan finished work an hour early and watched Lucky whilst I went to Nurture. <br />
<br />
As I drove to Nurture, I was getting tearful and emotional.. Slightly anxious now! I'm usually googling and on fertility friends / nurture forum every day over analysing everything ... But this week I've done none of that. More than likely due to Dans fiasco last month! <br />
<br />
I had a scan to check the womb lining and my ovaries. She said the lining should be at 8mm for ET and it's 8.1mm already! I have a large follicle on my left ovary, which is normal as its a natural cycle and I will ovulate from that ovary. <br />
<br />
I then went through to have bloods to check the hormonal surge. I will get the results back at lunchtime. <br />
<br />
I'm over the moon :) its also our wedding anniversary today! <br />
<br />
Now I need to dig out that cyclogest prescription and hopefully get some today :) <br />

We are all knackered. Dan went upstairs to put Lucky to bed, but somehow Dans fallen asleep and I can hear Lucky kicking his cot - delightful lol <br />
<br />
Seeing other families with 3 & 4 children today started Dan on the "should we put 2 back in?" rant... Umm.. I don't think we'll make up our mind until ET day!<br />

<br />
AF hasn't arrived which should be filling me with joy... But as I didn't get to ET, I'm just blinking well pissed off. <br />
<br />
*sigh* <br />
<br />
I'm sure she'll arrive tomorrow. <br />
<br />
But that means my ET & 2WW don't fall very well for me having time off during ET & 2WW.. Dan's delightful response was "Why don't you both go to London?" oh yea, of course I'll have ET and jump on the 2.5hr train journey with the worlds heaviest pram & 2x cases, toys, and entertain a toddler... Sounds like a wonderful relaxing 2WW, whilst you come home to an peaceful house and enjoy your rest day lazing at your mums... <br />
....And that response doesn't answer how I'm going to entertain Lucky, during ET and whilst I relax after in the recovery room... FFS! He changes the month of FET, but I've got to pick up the pieces! Mr I-don't-have-annualleave-left! *SCREAM*<br />
<br />
Ok, quite clearly AF is going to be banging on the door in the morning :-/ <br />
<br />
*sigh* <br />
<br />
Lucky enjoyed a morning a soft play today :) Clearly knackered him out as he slept for nearly 3hrs when we got home! <br />

<br />
Me & Dan have talked.. And to be honest, I don't know what the big deal was?! Yes there was an issue that needed discussing, but it seemed all a bit melodramatic! <br />
<br />
I've gone through every emotion possible this week.. Mainly resentful, angry & annoyed.. But I am getting to the point I'm thinking "Ok, the cycles cancelled, everything happens for a reason!" I was so unbelievably stressed out with work, so maybe that would have hindered my chances of getting a bfp (trying to positive!)<br />
<br />
Dan does want me to start FET at the next cycle.. <br />
<br />
I'm so annoyed, I wish I could tell him to stuff it! But I do want a sibling for Lucky, moreso than anything! <br />
<br />
Maybe I'll take this next FET in my stride, no blogging, no forums, no focus on it.. Just see how it goes?! Ha! Yea right, lol <br />
<br />

<br />
Family life isn't what Dan wants apparently :-/ <br />
<br />
Babydust to all my readers.. Hope you all get that BFP soon xx <br />

Dan took the car (with our wellies & pram raincover in the boot!) and was away today at the olympics with his friends. It was forecasted to rain from 11am and there's no way I can cope with staying indoors with lucky ...all day!!! Typically, it's now 20:30 and not a drop of rain!! Humpf.. <br />
<br />
We had fun at playgroup this morning then popped to Sainsburys for a Tom & Jerry cake mixture. On the walk home, it was still dry so we stopped at the park. Lucky has this obsession with feeding ducks stones.. Basically he collects little stones and throws them in the lake.. As you do :) <br />
<br />
When I got home, I got an email response regarding the acupuncture.. I'm seriously thinking I'll do it?! I just think, I need something extra?? I don't know if my womb lining has ever been looked at during the 2ww? I think I'll enjoy the relaxation.. Just laying down for 45mins sounds good.. I'd play some zita west in the background, relax & focus! Sounds good to me! <br />
She's charging £50 for the consultation then £38 each session after.. Not super cheap, but not as expensive as the other company I looked at (£93 for ET acupuncture!) ..then again, it worked last time without acupuncture.. I've read so many stories were they couldn't afford acupuncture and that cycle worked - so it doesn't actually better your chances, does it? <br />
<br />
Right, I'm scoffing too many of Lucky's Tom & Jerry cakes and washing it down with red bush tea.. Kitchen to tidy, nails to polish, and Mr Grey to read ;) <br />
<br />

They have always got on well together, but it seems terrible two's as started already! They were both as bad as each other.. Damn weather meant they were kept indoors. I think next time we'll take them to the farm for a run around! <br />
<br />
I've thinking about acupuncture today.. Umm.. Undecided! I've emailed a few companies as I presume I need to start it ASAP! Part of me thinks this natural cycle, is just a little too natural.. Although I guess I do have progesterone to take during the 2ww. Umm, clueless :-/ I just want this to work!<br />
<br />
Off to enjoy a mango smoothie and Mr. Grey.. ;) <br />
<br />
Pic of the day: Lucky playing the piano! At the rate they were going, we were surprised they even sat next to each other without thumping one another... Toddler tantrums! <div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw3by1qxJSiS7KIGEUhw-R2ph7cocSIZUfBBLDiLvAz8e5PiG83Z1rrtp7I6zNwHXq294Uf0Nx78vejDRcrwGLWRaqDg0ihCBdSjVtO7p_LFgBs_dsbN4crncLT1ol6sHgSCyJkvd-Md3c/s640/blogger-image-147038059.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw3by1qxJSiS7KIGEUhw-R2ph7cocSIZUfBBLDiLvAz8e5PiG83Z1rrtp7I6zNwHXq294Uf0Nx78vejDRcrwGLWRaqDg0ihCBdSjVtO7p_LFgBs_dsbN4crncLT1ol6sHgSCyJkvd-Md3c/s640/blogger-image-147038059.jpg" /></a></div>Boohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17547658409589705165noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590703759090649121.post-44208239080410850372012-07-30T12:43:00.001+01:002012-07-30T18:31:30.440+01:00Natural FET Diary CD3I called Nurture this morning, and spoke to nurse Lyndsey, who said I needed to come in on day 8 (Saturday 8th Aug) at 0730. She mentioned I would be scanned and be given clearblue sticks (I presume they give me the OV sticks!?) <br />
<br />
I will have to change my shift as I am due to start work at 0800 but I don't think that is too much of a problem - but who knows with my shitty line manager! <br />
<br />
I've been taking feminax as soon as my 6hrs is up, regardless whether I'm in pain or not.. Decided to leave it this morning as I was feeling fine. <br />
<br />
Me & Lucky went for a long walk, to the park and popped to the shops.. Came home crippled in pain - doh! I pray this is my last AF - for a long long while.... <br />
<br />
I made a yummy weightwatchers no points roasted veg soup! Trying to pack in those 5 a day. Tasted divine! I'm rubbish at drinking water.. I seemed to do it fine during my last cycle, as I was so borderline with ohss and my body was pumped full of drugs! I'm trying to remember to drink a glass every other hour.. Seems to be working! <br />
<br />
Right, Lucky's in bed, house to tidy, 30day shred, bath, zita west and then bed x <br />
<br />
Pic of the day - yummy veg awaiting to be roasted: butternut squash, carrots, celery & pepper.. I blended it with veg stock and chilli flakes!
