I went back to the doctor this morning to get the results of my second set of 21 day blood tests. It showed, once again, that I hadn’t ovulated. I fully expected this as it felt like I hadn’t ovulated. My crp was also still high, but not as high as it was. My...

I thought i’d better update you all on how things are going. I got the results of my blood tests a couple of weeks ago, and they showed that I didn’t ovulate before day 21 of cycle 6, but my FSH and LH levels were ok. However my C-Reactive Protein (CRP) level (21) was even...

I’ve been trying to write this list since the end of January, of 100 things I want to do in my life. This is not so much a bucket list, more like a life list. I want to stop surviving and start living. I’ve only got to 53 so far, but I wanted to...

I’ve done two random vlogs recently, and I thought I’d share them here for you. The first one was taken on my second dog walking outing this Sunday, and the second one was taken earlier today whilst I was resting on the bed and then Sootie, my cat, decided she wanted to chew my...

So I haven’t posted for around a month (oh dear), as I now have a new job! The horrible depression of being unemployed is over and I’m loving my new job. The pay isn’t fantastic but it is enough to live on. I’ll post more about my new job later. Around cycle day 50...

It’s now day 42 of cycle 5, and I’m really not sure what is going on with my body right now. I’ve had three patches of EWCM throughout my cycle, but I haven’t got enough temps to be sure that I have ovulated or not. I’ve also run out of ovulation tests, and I...

According to Wikipedia, 300 million people have asthma, which is approximately 7-10% of the population. I am one of those 300 million. I don’t remember when I was diagnosed with asthma, but I do remember at first school at the age of 8, having to carry around my little blue inhaler everywhere and use that godawful...

Staffy is the common name for the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, a breed of dog. Dog rescue centres around the UK are inundated with Staffies due to bad press and a need for lots of exercise and attention. Today I went to my local RSPCA centre (York) and handed in my form to volunteer as...

Today (Wednesday) was the first day of my new start with recovering from depression. After a very intense counselling session yesterday, my new plan to get myself back to feeling how I was seven months ago has started with one simple thing – ‘got to do’. As long as I schedule something time critical...

Yesterday I went to the hospital to have some blood tests. When I spoke to the doctor last Wednesday, we mainly spoke about my depression, fatigue and extreme tiredness. So the blood tests she requested included Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Glucose, Liver Function and some others I can’t remember. I hope that the thyroid...

So far this cycle, I haven’t been temping! Christmas was very busy and rather stressful, and I became ill with the flu on the 27th December, and I’ve almost recovered. My asthma is still quite bad though, as it does get exacerbated by illness. Hubby’s been unwell too, and he still has a really...
