infertility

[percival]

My 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?

You're getting your life back, and that's a good thing... but I suggest you keep track of your period anyway since it cuts down on surprises at the most inconvienent time... well, that works if your period is fairly regular anyway.

As for the coffee, it's not entirely a bad thing that you aren't wanting it much. Coffee, in small amounts, isn't all that bad for you, but more than a cup or so a day and it can really mess with your system.

I second the suggestions of everyone else when it comes to the urine sample and your period... tampons and a good cleaning will usually take care of it.
