naughty!!!!!!

Well I was a bad girl last week. Off in South Africa for work, which was a really great trip actually. I realised it was going to be very tricky to take the Metformin (12 hour flights/clambering around unfinished stadiums with no working toilets etc) and so I dropped it for the week. And then because I wasn't taking it, I had a few drinks. And then a few more. And lots of very nice food. And, you've guessed it, I've put on weight. Six pounds! I was a bit shocked at how much.

I bought a magazine (She) to read on the plane, and it had an article about Zita West and her fertility diet. In it was a 4-day detox to kick start your fertility. I am going to give it a try from Monday-Thursday next week. It didn't look too desperately awful, lots of lentils and beans and stuff for three of the days, and you can add white meat and fish on one of the days. It seemed like it would be worth a go.

Another naughty thing I've done is upped my Metformin dose to 1500mg, from yesterday. My GP is great, but she wouldn't put me on more as 1000mg is what the healthcare trust around here recommend. All the research seems to show that 1500mg and above is where the drug will start to work, and I can't see the point of taking it and getting the side effects if its not actually doing any good. I feel rough, though, very dodgy tummy and so tired. But then, I'm working full time and have also taken on an extra job for a while to try and sort our financial situation out a a bit, so working 60-70 hours a week.

And another naughty thing...we ditched the condoms last night. And this morning. Aside from a 'but this will mean the Christmas baby we've been trying to avoid' from DP we haven't actually talked about it. But it looks like we are TTC again. I haven't had a period since coming off the pill so I think it will take a while anyway; but then we thought that last time and it happened within days.

If only...
