    In terms of dosage I am on 150 menopur in evenings. I haven't felt too bad just a slight headache but drank more water today. I also think that might be the chocolate withdrawals!

    I am looking forward to Monday scan to check things are progressing ready for the Friday or following Monday.

    I went and purchased a big box of eggs for breakfasts and 4 packs of chicken haha

    Thanks for all of the support everyone. So far, I'm not too evil, but I am so hot, that if could fry some of those eggs we all need for a high protein diet on my stomach!

    Chickpea, huge hugs. I think it is important to remember that there is not a straight line process of recovery, so if you need to take more time off or out of work, then do. Look after yourself

    Frozen penguin - thinking of you

    Part mouse - no advice, but pleased you have at least spoken to someone even if all the stupid funding is not sorted. Sounds like you need to get that nurses number, even if it's so that you have a sympathetic medical ear!

    Lisa and star - good luck with everything, I'll be thinking of you this month

    Tea lover - I seriously think Facebook is designed to pee women over a certain age but without children off

    On a more silly note, these were the creme egg brownies (definitely not my website, just loved the recipe....)

    T2D, thanks - I must start eating properly but just want to wallow in carbs at the moment. How are you getting on?

    Frozen, are you ok?

    SewIt I'm ok thanks, down regging seems to be going on forever but thankfully have reacted just like last time with no symptoms except for the night sweats thankfully so could be worse. Baseline scan on the 18th. How are you?


    PM I'm glad you managed to speak to someone at last. Keeping everything crossed your funding comes through soon.


    Oh Chickpea, getting caught by announcements is the worst. I went into town today and there were adorable children everywhere - I nearly started sobbing in the middle of Debenhams :(

    With the injections what have people done if anything to minimise bruising? I didn't think it was an issue until today when noticed a really large bruise appeared! I could do without a few of these!!!
