Godmother!

I forgot to say - our friend had her baby last week, 6 weeks early! She's doing really well. She's adorable and I'm in love. We've been asked to be Godparents which I'm thrilled about :)

Losing faith

I saw my reflexologist last week. The usual spot on my feet was hurting - the one that relates to my uterus. It didn't hurt as much as the first session but there was still pain and discomfort. She asked me if I had had any investigations done on my womb - which I haven't - and she encouraged me to ask the clinic about it. I'd felt so positive about the reflexology up until that point but now I feel that she isn't seeing a significant imporovement and maybe doesn't think she can help me anymore :( She also suggested that I think about going to a different clinic as she hasn't heard good things about mine. But the clinic she suggested is 90 minutes drive away - it's just not practical to have my treatment there. So overall I felt pretty negative after she left! I have always wondered whether there was more investigation that could be done on me to figure out why I'm not getting pregnant, but when we were last at the clinic and asked the consultant about it she was dismissive. I spoke to a colleague about it this week and she suggested that I ask to make an appointment with one of the nurses to talk it through. So I called the clinic and asked for this. Well, it turns out that they should have arranged an appointment for me with a nurse anyway, to discuss the IVF treatment in detail - but they'd forgotten about me! Cheers then. We're now due to go in and speak to a nurse on the 6th Dec. I spoke to the nurse that we'll be meeting with on the phone this week. He's new to the clinic and is definitely the most effective communicator that I've come across there - so fingers crossed it's a positive meeting. In the meantime, I've ovulating again...

Distractions

So, no joy last month and I've just ovulated again. Good to see from the ovulation sticks that it's actually happening! There have been a lot of distractions this month - work, my business and a nasty flu bug. It's good to be distracted from all this.
