My period is due any day now, and it is a good feeling to be calmly expecting it and not dreading it. It won’t be a real period anyway-just a few days of feeble bleeding and not much pain. I’m hoping that the anxiety will ease now that the pill has stopped. It’s been foul, really deeply awful.
Last night I lay in bed worrying that the bedroom windows were not properly locked. I forced myself to stay in bed, as it was way too cold to indulge irrational anxieties.
Sigh…

I am counting down the days until the end of this cycle. One month of drugs down, one more to go. I am alarmed because with the first IVF stim cycle I found the first month quite easy and the second month much harder…

I am nearly at the ‘Stimulation’ part of the cycle. The synarel (which looks like a little white bottle) runs concurrent with the injections (which look like a pen). There are only 8 pens in the picture, but last cycle I was injecting for 14 days.

And this was our fabby pumpkin crop! Sadly we have lost about half to mould as we didn’t store them properly. We will also try to get them planted earlier this year so they are not exposed to a winter frost before harvest. We have planted out some little knobbly type carrots which are doing well so far. I’m very excited about these carrots as I’ve found them so hard to grow in the past. Must thin onions soon.
