(Friday Oct 25)

I had a rough-ish day emotionally. I ate crap and work was taxing. There are only 2 lonely follicles right now. They seem pretty big for this early but my estrogen seems lowish for this early. But the nurse was happy with progress. I’m just falling into comparison land again and I hate it. Someone needs to take my phone away and delete and bock me from my instagram and blog. But the damage is done.
I did make it to training after skipping all exercise days this week. So that felt good. While we were chatting in between sets his wife (my tap instructor) came down to say hi and she pointed to the ceiling to two ladybugs who were touching butts. They’d been there all week doing who knows what :). That made me smile and I took it as a good sign for the day. Two ladybugs. Two follicles. Two drops of hope.
Onwards and upwards. Next appointment on Sunday.
Emotional: Rollercoaster!!!
Physical: Feeling good after a training session.
Food: Leftover Chinese food.
It’s funny, I’ve been seeing ladybugs lately. I hope yours are a sign of lots of good luck and good things to come!
Thanks! Someone said it’s ladybug season but I think they’re coming out especially for us 🙂 🙂
We call Ladybugs Ladybirds in Ireland! Just a random funny fact 😉
We call them ladybirds too (I was trying to Americanise it and now I fell silly) lol
