Hello bleeps
I am counting the days down to my appointment on 5 July at the fertility clinic. I think things are falling into place now.
Remember when I said I booked two places on the same day? Well one of them phoned to cancel anyway as the doctor is going away. So I guess that makes the decision easier, although I kind of decided on the other one anyway.
I also phoned my previous gynae today to get him to give me notes on my records.
But the reason I am really looking forward to this appointment so much is not only for the reasons you may think.
Yes, I do want to get pregnant, and I want him to help me.
But today I got a reminder of how my body needs some serious attention.
I have been having a problem with some time with some really bad PMS. I get super bad headaches around ovulation and the start of my period. My GP gave me “Primeve Plus” which is a supplement of Evening Primrose Oil, Magnesium, Vit B6, Vit E and Zinc. This has really helped the headaches, but I seem to be having another problem.
TMI warning (Too Much Information)
It’s like a period cramp and needing to go to the toilet at the same time. And it is painful. And it is disrupting my life. It happened to me at the end of Term 1 when I was taking photos for the end of year function, and then again the next day during a lengthy meeting. Then today it happened again at Pick n Pay. (A grocery shop, for those not in SA). I literally left my trolley and went to the bathroom. And even when I came back I wasn’t feeling so good. But I made it. Funnily enough when I got home I was fine to unpack everything. I guess I don’t feel so bad anymore about my dearest B having sugar lows or epileptic fits at the grocery store. I can also have a “sickie” moment.
And I managed somehow.
Oh well I am really hoping that this doc can help me with this problem and (is it asking too much?) get me pregnant too.
If you are wondering how things are going with B and I on the whole thing … there seems to be a respect for our differing opinions. And an understanding that we will work it out. But above all I just want to know what is going on with my body. If I really can’t have kids, that’s ok. But I’d like to be open to the possibility that it can happen.
Shoe that sounds hectic. you should def have it checked out!
Exciting the 5th of July is around the corner!
