Morning ladies! :wave: I hope everyone is good. I had family over yesterday and we did some more work in the garden which was fab - it really feels like things are moving forward for us now (that has caused me a lot of stress in the past so it feels like a weight is being lifted from my shoulders
).
I just did the fertility plan questionnaire (skipping the BBT bit as I didn't understand most of it!) and got tired and stuck. I'm a bit skeptical about things like this as they are really quite generic - I read some of the other types and thought, I have a bit of this and a bit of that, and the advice is generic too (and common sense - exercise and don't eat sugary/fatty foods!). But that's just me, I'm quite scientific - I don't believe in ghosts or ghouls unless there is evidence (I want to believe though!) and I think the NHS info is probably the best (I know lots of you might disagree - we all hate the NHS a bit!
) but they are the ones with the information based on fact. Sorry if this upsets anyone, but it is just my opinion.
Have no idea what my weight is doing - I think my scales are on their way out - I think I've STS
. Will see what the hospital says when I go next - have defo lost weight since I saw them last, but don't think it will be enough to start ART
. DH said we would find the money if we needed to have IVF or similar. Had a quick look into it and our local private fertility clinic is run by the same guy who does the NHS clinic at my local hosptial!

Raaaargh - he is the b'stard who said I was too fat and detailed all the problems we could face (and then wrote it all down in a letter for me and my GP). I hate him, but he knows what he is talking about.
Emmy, you are doing amazingly well and have given me the motivation I needed to go to the gym today! I hope nothing prevents me from doing that later today (i.e. work). Anything that has a good beat to it is great for working out - especially all the dancey numbers!
So good to hear that you are seeing a change to your shape - I too am an hourglass (stupidly small waist in comparison to my bum/hips/thighs - I really struggle to get trousers to fit and nearly always need a belt. Well, maybe I am a bit of pear too!). It will be so exciting when you go shopping and have to pick smaller sizes!
Traskey, your LP alternates each month; could it be to do with which side you ovulate from maybe?
Strawberry, I didn't know that spotting meant a low progesterone level - I always get 'notice' that AF is on her way and my prog levels have been a bit low before (only the last FS mentioned this to me but didn't make a big deal of it - will ask more on Wednesday). My last CD21 showed I had ovulated so I don't reckon they will be too worried, but might question it with my dodgy period!
Zowiey, so glad you love your new haircut. I have a bit of a phobia about hairdressers after a couple of disastrous cuts when I was younger. I will only let a man cut my hair now (bizarre I know) and get it done every 6 months to 1 year!! Plus, all that weight you've lost will make you feel sexier too (it's not just in your head!).
Right, am sat in bed still (got up to say bye to DH and have had brekkie - waffles with real maple syrup) so had better get up and do something! Hope you all have a great day.
