3rd injection

Halfway there with my injections! 3 more to go!! On the down side that does mean 4 more months of suppression, hot flushes, dizzy spells, cold sweats! Oh well, man up!

This one hurt slightly less than the others but I am bruised still. I am sure a lot of you know how I feel with your multiple injections each day. I impressed how you manage to stick so many needles into you. I am unsure if I would cope. Saying that, I would do anything for a baby!

House buying stress

We are in the process of buying our first house which is very exciting! we found in nice three bed house with extension in our area and are getting it at a reasonable price. We we meant to exchange a week and a half ago and things were going well but all of a sudden everything has ground to a halt. We did not exchange, we don't know when we will exchange and I am about to tear my hair out! I am getting impatient, we just want to get our house now and move in! We have been house buying since April, the first house fell through, I really don't want this one to as well!!

I think the house buying stress and my break from TTC is spurring me on to keep running and dieting. The running seems to clear my head and stops me from thinking and gets rid of some of my stress which is good.

3rd injection is on Thursday. Not looking forward to being stabbed with a horse size needle but i keep telling myself this is the third injection, only 3 more left to go!!

No other news sadly. No monitoring my cycle, no monitoring my temperature, no analysing every twinge as there is nothing to analyse or monitor. I am still having hot flushes and some dizzy spells but I am managing ok.

Three day weekend!!

I have worked 11 days straight and within that 7 nights as well!! I have been busy and it has been so stressful. I am exhausted but I have three days off now!

I have just been for a 4 mile run in the pissing rain! I did it in 40n Min's, so 10 min miles is not bad for me and my short clumsy legs!! I had my weigh in at fat fighters on Wednesday night and I have lost a couple more pounds! I am now down to my wedding weight!! I am very happy! The only problem is, when I look in the mirror I don't think I look any slimmer, I don't feel as slim as I did last year for my wedding. I must be slimmer though as I can now fit into my size UK 12 clothes (USA 8) which I couldn't before!

On suppression side of things, I am having a few hot flushes, few ups and downs emotion wise, but not too bad. I am due my next injection on Thursday which I am dreading. Not only because the needle is big, but because the side effects are bad in the first week and a half. This is my third injection though, so half way through the jabs! The ticker is going so slow though, wish I could speed up time. It feels these 6 months are a waste of my life.

July ICLW: welcome

I cant believe this ICLW has come around so quickly. I really enjoy meeting new people and reading new blogs. This month I will try harder, I slacked last month so will make up for it this month!

Here is a quick round up of me and my life:

• I am 25, married, been with my Husband since I was 16
• I am a Veterinary surgeon
• I have a rescue dog called Maddy who recently got attacked by two Rottweilers
• I have stage IV endometriosis.
• I have had 2 laparoscopies and and due another one in 4 months time
• I have hypothyroidism
• We were TTC but currently on a break as I have 6 months of ovary suppression before my 3rd lap to remove all of my endo
• I am desperate for a baby. I feel there is a gap, a void, I am so desperate to fill it. I long for a family.
• I am currently trying to get my body in shape for when I am able to start TTC again

Thanks for visiting my blog, hope you enjoy

Its becoming an obsession

My exercising, my dieting, it is becoming an obsession! This is a good thing though, there are worse things to be obsessed by! I have a very addictive personality. These addictions can be short lived or last forever. I used to smoke, I started smoking when I was about 15 and gave up last year on the 26th October at age of 25 (not that I am counting or dreaming about my last ever cigarette!) I replaced fags with chocolate and ate a bar every day for 6 months! I put on nearly a stone in weight during my chocolate binge! After my lap and hearing that I need another in 6 months and will most likely need IVF I decided to get my body in shape. I have cut out all chocolate, eating lots of fruit and veg and have been exercising a lot.


I am on duty this weekend, have been busy with lots of emergencies. This morning I got called out at 6 am to a ill cat. I finished with the cat at about 7.30am and went to the gym!! We have a gym right by work, so if I get called in I am only 5 min's away. I have never been to the gym at 7.30am before, yet alone on a Sunday morning!! For my breakfast I had a home made fruit salad with kiwi, grapes and melon! This is not me, where has Nic gone?!? Only a couple of more pounds to go and I am back down to my wedding weight!

Girls are fun to buy for!!

I have done a bit of shopping for my little soon to be niece. I bought a few things online the other day. Today I was passing a cute baby shop, was feeling strong and so went in. I bought a gorgeous pink/purple/lemon flower outfit. So cute!! I did OK. I didn't freak out or have a breakdown. I was in there wishing I was buying for my baby but I got through it OK. Thankfully there was not that many bumps around. I really cant wait to get pregnant and start shopping for my baby, it will be so fun.

On other news, having a lot of house stresses but tomorrow we should be exchanging contracts on the house we are buying, fingers crossed!!

I will be getting a niece!

My SIL and brother had their 20 week ultrasound yesterday and found out they are having a girl! I am excited as have a nephew on the other side of the family so I now will have a niece, one of each! I am very happy for them, but a little jealous.

The only problem is I now have to go shopping for cute girlie outfits! I know it is safest to buy online, but this is my niece. I want it to be personal, I want to hand pick the gifts. I will wait for when I am having a strong day and go shopping. Lets hope I don't have a breakdown in the shop!
