Wow, I'm super impressed at all the veg growing! Our garden is tiny and mostly paved, but we do have a raised bed. We've got broad beans, salads, garlic, herbs, spinach (for our fur beast, I don't like the type I grow!) and strawberries. I too have struggled with tomatoes in the recent years and so have given up this year. We went to try to see the allotment last night, but there was no one about to let us in! I think this year will be mostly Dave clearing it and we'll try some lettuces and French beans, plus put some winter veg in. We want to move next summer, so will have to put in stuff that's ready earlier on.
rabbit what are you growing for cut flowers? I really like the idea of this, but aren't sure what to plant. Was thinking of putting in a load of spring bulbs.
Apologies to anyone who doesn't like gardening - this must be the most boring post ever for you!
mad sorry about the af head fuckery. It sounds to me like it's starting. I def had more spotting the first few post ivf cycles, but it did sort itself out eventually. I hated the not being able to plan stuff aspect, as I'm a real planner and the ivf had such an impact on work and social life.
rabbit I don't remember any particular bowel issues until EC and then it was the post sedation constipation, followed by diarrhoea (sorry to anyone eating!). Don't use the progesterone bullets up the back door if you get ibs. As I'm now weaning myself off them, my stomach has been a lot more normal. I still can't believe all the waiting you are doing re appointments. Bloody clinics.
lemons boo to the thrush. I find shit loads of live yoghurt helps, esp as I don't think you are meant to take the amazing thrush killer tablets when ttc.
grouch sorry to hear work is so busy. I hope you're not feeling too tired. It's all I can do to get through a normal working day at the mo!
euro we briefly thought about the Traf for our reception too, as well as the NMM! I've been to a few dos in the Traf function rooms, which were lovely, but like you have too many other, er, memories of drunken nights in the pub for it to have been the right place.
critter your meths convo made me laugh and think of breaking bad! Hope you are doing ok.
mrsd all our friends now know about the ivf, but not work colleagues. I wanted to try to de-stigmatise it, by being as open as I can about it all and it also explains why there will never be a baby no 2. Everyone had been really pleased and some have cried, making me cry! Even those that don't know our situation.
buzz hope you are doing ok and hanging in there.
Waves to everyone else.
My latest mental is that I have a wisdom tooth infection. The dentist won't give me any antibiotics cos I'm pregnant, so is monitoring it. I'm shit scared, as I know there's a link between MC and dental infections. I'm sure the dentist knows what she's doing, but I can't bear to think of anything putting the baby at risk. Anyway, I'm trying not to be too mental about it...
