Hey girls, hope you are all going well.

Aliash, I read all of 'Becoming Vegan' - cover to cover, it is such a great book! I recomend it to anyone - even if you are just vego, it's written really well. It is, however, now 10 years old - so I hope they do an update. I'm sure science would have changed over that period. One thing I noticed wasn't mentioend in vegan health was good bacteria - I decided to start taking 'Fast Tract', which has much more of the good bacteria than yoghurt ever could. I feel good but hard to know if that's the sole reason for it.

I've started fulltime work whilst completing my phd which is busy; not having as much time to sleep or do much else. Perhaps it's a good trial for a baby?

I've also been overjoyed by AF coming this week! I have PCOS and have only gone off the contraceptive pill since 1 Jan. I followed and recorded cervical mucus and thought I had a fair idea of when I ovulated, and I was right! Exciting for me because I had the impression it would take much longer to ovulate and was told I'd likely need Clomid to conceive. Perhaps I can avoid that and just get there naturally. Yay! My cycle may be about 45 days long, but at least it exists which is more than I expected.
