percivalMy new appointment at the clinic: March 2, 2004, 11am. Let's hope I've collected enough samples by then.
It still defeats me how I'm going to be able to give them clean urine samples, though. Have you ever tried separating the midstream of your urine from the blood gushing out of an opening slightly behind the urethra? On the morning of the third day of your period? Give me blood tests any time. At least we've now got a freezer with a pee drawer. (Urgh)
Interestingly, I can't recall the date of my last period at the moment - neither can I recall the date of my supposed fertility maximum. Does this mean I'm slacking? Or that I'm getting my life back?
I also seem to be going off coffee. It tastes increasingly bitter to me, and coffee makes me feel slightly queasy after I've drunk a few cups. I didn't use to be this way - I could down eight cups a day no problem. Detox side effects?

BTW, not all Christian meditation involves visualization; Fr. Laurence Freeman OSB advocates silent, non-object-oriented meditation with a mantra. www.wccm.org

Date: 2003-09-03 08:41 am (UTC)I'm currently trying deliberately to live a normal life - that includes drinking coffee. I just couldn't stand the pressure of trying to conceive any longer - it will have been two years in October. So I'm off TTC at any cost. I will start living a healthier life again in January - so that a baby does not coincide with my massage course exam. The plan is to eat healthily (7xfruit and veg, no caffeine, no sugar) and get massages to loosen any tensions.
In the mean time, I'll just enjoy myself.
Glad to hear Clomid helped!
